Clarification on how the challenge works -
First you decide what kind of Camp you want to attend. Your choices are -
* Mini Camp - any three items each session
* Fun Camp - you must read one (1) book from each section; you can re-read items the following months if you choose to do another session or two
* The Full Experience Camp - you must read one (1) book from each section; you cannot repeat an item from a previous session

You can do Summer Camp three times (June, July, August). You can do all Summer Camps the same, or you can change it up.

Once you decide, you pick which items to read for according to which Camp you're attending.

I would like to join the summer camp but I’m confused am I supposed to pick a month I want to do archery which is read a romance, novel and bats which is listen to an audiobook does it say that every month or is that a specific month?

Anna, first you decide what kind of Camp you want to attend. Your choices are -
* Mini Camp - any three items for a session
* Fun Camp - you must read one (1) book from each section; you can re-read items the following months if you choose to do another session or two
* The Full Experience Camp - you must read one (1) book from each section; you cannot repeat an item from a previous session

You can do Summer Camp three times (June, July, August). You can do all Summer Camps the same, or you can change it up.

Once you decide, you pick which items to read for according to which Camp you're attending.

TCF's Summer Camp
Duration: June 1, 2025 - August 31, 2025

Every session you attend Camp TCF, you must read one (1) book from each section.
* The Full Experience Camp - you cannot repeat an item from a previous session

Camp Rules:
Books must be 140 pages or more. (except for 'short sheeting a bed')
Audio books must be at least 3 hours long. (except for 'short sheeting a bed')
Graphic Novels must be at least 200 pages.
