The Key Relationships internship was a perfect fit for the fundraising & donor relationship experience I was looking to gain!

Fun Fact: I really really love dogs! (Okay, who doesn't?) My family and I are puppy raisers for Guiding Eyes for the Blind.

It's a process that takes a lot of patience and care, but is so rewarding in the end! We also have dogs of our own, so in total, I've lived with 11 dogs in my lifetime!

But- where is Camp Campbell?! California or New York?! The one in California feels like the real one, I can't say much for the NY one cause we don't know the activities! Then who's David Campbell?! I'm starting to lean towards NY now cause of the sleepy hollow thing. I'm so confused.

Welp, I’m not sure why I’m being asked this but,I’m confused myself but, I have some theories [NOTE: I might have put a little too much thought into this, today I had a LOTTTT of time on my hands. Even did some crazy research for this, watched some eps again. I LEGIT HAVE NOTHING TO DO TODAY OTHERWISE, THIS RESPONSE WOULDN’T HAVE MUCH TO IT] In order to make these theories work we must forget some logic for a second and expand our imaginations. [Like this loser, a.k.a mod did.] Or not, all up to you:

David Campbell:

We all know how awful Cameron Campbell is: From using Space Kid as a shield

Doing anything for a buck (even if it involves the fate of the camp and campers)

He almost murdered a camper to protect his ass:

HECK! Even using David to cover things up for him, and David’s been loyal

My thoughts on this are:

He is secretly betraying David. Or at a point he did. He might have put his own information and maybe some of David’s description wise or maybe David’s address, only changed his first name to David. So he would be safe and David would be going to jail if David were to somehow run into the Feds. Making it look like they had the wrong person all along. OR this could have been done BEFORE the feds figured out what Cameron looked like and evidence that Cameron is indeed the man they’re looking for. Then ‘David Campbell’ is now nothing more than an imaginary person.

Or if we’re going with the so-called “real and logical” *mutters* totally boring and fake…. *end muttering* Just a guy, I have no clue who he is. That happens to live in New York! David Campbell if you see this, I’m sorry for saying where you live state wise. You randomly popped up on google when I was searching for Camp Campbell with that wide open. :P

Now, the second question:The Truth a.k.a Where is Camp Campbell REALLY Located?!

1: Why it might be in New York:

As stated before: The Camp Campbell located in New York is located on Sleepy Hollow Lake.Sleepy HollowSleepy Peak.

David. Freaking. Campbell.From NEW YORK!Look at first theory at top for my logic on that, cause I won’t explain again! [and maybe David could be from NY too? D:]

The platypus isn’t native to California. They’re not even native to North America. However, some people have claimed to see some in the northeast. They are most likely people’s pets that got loose or were let it free. He could have got some eggs imported into the US since he mentioned at the end of season 2 episode 5 that they’re going to incubate platypus eggs. It is illegal to own a platypus as a pet in the U.S.

This is stereotyping but, from some lists Ive seen that have ‘most popular sleepaway camps’ [note: I could be wrong since I’m basing it a lot of INTERNET findings but on what’s most common. A lot of these lists could very well be bias] a lot of popular sleep away camps that are deep in the woods that have the traditional summer camp experience: Nature hikes, surrvival skills, campfires, just strictly natureish or all that along the lines of that. Are located in Northern states. Northeast in particular. [most of them are located in New Hampshire but, most of the other camps from NY seem to pop up second or thrid on a lot of these lists, when you weed out the specialty camps.]

Yes, Camp Campbell might be very diverse now but, not only is it implied from Season 1, Episode 1: Escape from Camp Campbell that it wasn’t the same years back. As Cameron said:“Kids, I’m going be blunt and honest with you. When I opened Camp Campbell all those years ago, I had one goal, and one goal only. To create the most popular and successful summer camp in the world! But times have changed. Things like the internet, video games, and the Affordable Care Act are ruining this great country of ours- and the children of today aren’t interested in a traditional summer camp. But America isn’t a traditional country! So why settle for anything less!”It implies that he changed it to adapt. [and get more money of course]. There is also proof of it being a ‘traditional summer camp’ in the flashback in Season 2 Episode 5: Jasper Dies At the end, when David was telling his story on how he fell in love with Camp Campbell.

I’m from New York State [this one is looking too deeply into this] but Max said in the first episode that the bus comes in from ‘The city.’ to pick up campers. Sure it can mean ANY city but, it’s not specified which city. In New York, or most places in New York state. If people say ‘the city’ not saying any name, just ‘the city’ they mean New York City. [especially if they’re not in the city]

I’ve seen some head canons floating around lately [from a lot of people] about a few of the characters living in New York [not just the city] and claiming to have seen moments that in the show that back this up. [don’t ask me about it for, I never really looked to see where everyone is from. But, totally open to all these ideas.] The most common characters mentioned are:1. Max. [I’ve also read quite a few fanfictions that focus on Max outside of camp and even some AUs and a common thing that pops up is he lives somewhere in New York. Some say city, some say some places a little farther up ]2. Preston being from New York City.3. Gwen might have lived in NYC at some point but, this was foiled for most when Season 2 Episode 8: Gwen Gets A Job, came along.4. Neil [no specific area this one seems to be fairly new and popped up after Parent’s Day came out]5. Harrison is from somewhere in New York State as well.To be honest, the only character that makes sense to me right now being from New York is Preston.Sure, we all know that’s fanon. and it’s only five of the characters. Plus, at summer camp people come from all over the place, not just the state the camp is in. [People have been saying David might be from Canada. Which, is a pretty good head canon] But seeing this ‘trend’ pop up, it might lead to something.

2. Why it might be in California:

When you look at the lists of great sleep away camps, [once again, weed out all the specialty camps] there are quite a few in California. [More are still in NY and other places in the Northeast though]

I’ve been looking up history for that camp. It may have been around since 1884, BUT it had quite a few owners and went through MANY different name changes. Cameron might have bought it at a point to see if he could make a quick buck out of it then obviously, named it after himself.

And I agree with you anon. The one in California is pretty close to Camp Campbell in the series, since it seems to offer almost everything. Even WEDDINGS! And camps for all ages. Seems like the ultimate camp to me! And we know squat about the one in New York.

Nikki and Neil are two of the main characters:-Nikki signed up for Adventure Camp-Neil signed up for Science CampAccording to most of the reviews [real ones, not the joke ones on google] and some videos the camp itself put up; Adventure Camp and Science Camp are two of the most popular camps they offer.

A review of a kid that signed up for science camp said they did archery there. Camp Campbell in the series overlaps on activities. You sign up for one, you end up doing them all.

And last but not least,My third and final theory…Cameron own/ed more than one camp. BOTH CAMPS ARE CAMP CAMPBELL!

Why? Let’s look at the evidence that my mind might have seen too much:

1. Cameron’s rich. How the heck did he get rich? It’s obviously not from Camp Campbell alone [or the one the campers are in] or even being a con artist.

ONE of his camps might be doing better than the other one. Due to how popular it was, he was somehow able to get more people willing to work there and with more people, it’s easier to keep it clean and prevent it from falling apart.

He saves money by not bothering to repair the other camp that’s falling apart, which somehow happens to be the first camp he opened [though to get money out of it, he added on different camps to be on point with the other one]

2. He’s gone most of the time:

trying to hide from the feds

While on the run, he might be visiting his other summer camp. But, he visits it, just as much as he visits the other camp. Very rare.

He stopped caring about the other camp that was becoming less popular

3. This one does tie into the reason he’s rich. He was losing money, and by how cheap he is, felt it was expensive to keep both camps and wanted to avoid some rules and regulations. Someone offered him a lot of money for one of them so, he took it. But, that camp decided to keep the name.

And that, is my theory. It’s long, put too much thought into it but… Here you go! : )

–

Edited: I made a mistake on where Roosterteeth is located, I got a bit confused,

NYPA New York State News Roundup – February 19

Welcome to a cold and snowy edition of NYPA’s New York State News Roundup. This week’s stories include great news for New York State’s camps and entertainment centers, mass vaccinations set to begin at Albany Armory, and New York area vaccine sites stay open in the face of winter weather.

Governor Cuomo Announces Indoor Family Entertainment Centers Can Open March 26, Outdoor Amusement Parks Can Open April 9 & Camps Can Begin to Plan for Summer Opening

This week Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that indoor family amusement centers can open with a 25% capacity limit beginning Friday, March 26. Outdoor amusement parks can open with a 33% capacity limit beginning Friday, April 9. All facilities must submit reopening plans with health protocols to their local health department. Face coverings and social distancing will be required for everyone, and customers will be required to have a health screening with temperature checks prior to entry. Additionally, both day camps and sleepaway summer camps in New York State can begin to plan for reopening. The Department of Health will issue specific reopening rules on timing in the coming weeks.

"In New York, we base our decisions on the science and data and adjust as the virus adjusts," Governor Cuomo said. "With continued decreases in the infection and hospitalization rates, we have been able to take steps toward beginning our post-COVID recovery and we are excited to now be in a place where we can bring back our recreational industries with safety protocols in place. As we've said time and time again, our success will be dictated by our actions and as long as we stay united and keep carrying this momentum forward in a positive direction, we will be able to see more and more sectors of our economy reopen."

Read more details in Governor Cuomo’s press release.

Mass Vaccination Site to Open March 3 at Albany Armory

A mass vaccination site will open at Albany's Washington Avenue Armory to deliver 7000 shots a week, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced this past Wednesday. The site, best known as home court of the Albany Patroons basketball team, will open March 3, along with three others in Yonkers, Buffalo and Rochester, joining two mass-vaccination sites opened in Queens and Brooklyn. All six are designed to reach socially vulnerable communities who would otherwise have less access to the vaccine. The vaccine supplies provided to the sites, run jointly by federal and state entities, are in addition to the regular amounts received by the state. The Federal Emergency Management Agency also announced that it is sending a "National Incident Management Assistance Team" team to Albany to help with the vaccine distribution. Read more in the Albany Times Union.

New York Vaccine Sites Stay Open Through Snow; Virus Positivity Declines

State-run vaccination sites at Jones Beach and Stony Brook University plowed ahead with their operations through this week's multiple winter storms. The sites continued to vaccinate people Thursday as officials kept a close eye on the weather. "The vaccine is the weapon that will win the war against COVID, and as long as conditions remain safe, we will not let winter weather slow down our efforts to vaccinate as many people as humanly possible," Jack Sterne, a spokesman for Governor Cuomo, said Thursday afternoon. He also said that any New Yorker concerned about making it to their appointment through the snowstorm should call the state's vaccine hotline (833-NYS-4VAX) and workers will try to come up with a solution. Read much more at Newsday.
