Hello Campers! This is the official sign up post for Weehawken 2023!
We are actually going to do Camp in the summer this year woohoo!Â
We are ready to open the doors up for another exciting year of camp Weehawken! Camp will officially start on June 2nd, however we are starting signups today!
As with other year there are a handful of new additions to the AU which I will briefly describe in this post.
DISCORD SERVER: The Discord Server is going to be in use again this year for Campfire group RP and general discussion of the AU.
This server was set up to help participants get in touch with each other, discuss the events of Weehawken in a group chat and share art and fics.
Discord is available to computer and mobile users and itâs free to sign up if you donât already have an account. Requesting a link to the discord will be part of the Weehawken sign up process which I will be detailing below.
Links will be given out for the entirety of the event and wonât close until Camp Weehawkenâs conclusion.
Important note: You do not need to join the Discord server to take part in Weehawken. The main posts and character interactions can take place on tumblr between RP/ask blogs. However it is highly recommended that you do so if you donât want to miss out on a single thing.
New This Year: We are allowing participants to be Discord-exclusive, however we are asking that they have at the very least a text post detailing their character for reference. (full explanation here)
Spectator- If you simply want to spectate on Discord without actually participating in the camp RP, all you need to do is send an ask to this blog requesting a link and weâll give you access to the server.
If you have any questions, send an ask to this blog. Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about signing up.
Message this blog and give us these three details:
Desired Role: Options are camper, counselor or staff. If you would rather have some other role like camp mascot, send a request! Campers are under the age of 18. They tend to range from 12 - 17 years of age but you can have somewhat younger characters. Only characters 18 years old and up can be staff or counselors. Because this is an AU you can make your character any age youâd like!
Blog Name: You will need to have an RP blog or Info Post to participate in Weehawken and when itâs all set up, tell us the blog name or where to find your Info Post. Tumblr might not let the message through if you type a URL. Just give us the name of the blog, like so: ex. âcampweehawkenâ
Preferred Cabin: (doesnât apply to staff) Campers and counselors reside in cabins that fit one counselor and a maximum of 8 campers. Â If you have any preference for what cabin you want to be sorted into, let us know in your registration. If you supply no preference you will be sorted into a random cabin.
Discord (Optional): If you would like a link to the discord, please ask for it in your signup ask. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not already have access to the discord, discord links will not be given out until June 2nd, as we are still working to finish up the server for official Camp Opening on June 2nd.
Take a look at the 2023 Cabin List to see where you and other campers have been sorted as well at who the staff are! Links to all participant blogs will be available there. The list is constantly updating as more submissions come in. Â Â Â Discord-exclusive cabins will have links to the info posts for those characters.
If your blog has more than one character, you will be filling up more than one vacancy spot unless your characters happen to be family: cousins, twins, siblings. Then, the characters can share a bed in the cabin and fill up just one vacancy spot.
Since itâs hard for me to cover all of the topics in one little post, Iâm going to give you all some resources to help you figure this event out.
-FAQ: Answers to general questions we receive. Also a well of basic information about this event.
-Camp Weehawken Staff Brochure: Information about camp activities and various roles to be played at Camp.
-Camp Tags: The tags that are used on this blog and participantâs blogs for the event.
If you canât find an answer to your question in any of these places, just drop us an ask and weâll respond as soon as we can.
All in all, Camp Weehawken is an open ended event! You can be as creative as youâd like. The moderators of the event are always open to suggestions for RP events, streams and more. But keep in mind that this is a public event! Please be respectful.
If you have any issues with other participants, how things are being run or any other problems, the moderators are here to help. You can send messages to this blog to request help with any topic.
Applications are officially open!!
