#the camp activities aren't even gonna be a major focus

[aceometric]

trying to plan out a Quarry fanfiction covering the camp months, and I am quickly realizing I have no idea how summer camps work and the information we get in the game is not helping

The calendar in Mr. H's office is wrong, the days not matching up to July 2021 (July 1st is Thursday) but that's easy to just offset it a little. The events listed on the calendar mostly match up with the Ledger in his draw, and it was easy to extrapolate events into the last week of June and all of August from there.

Library Reading is meant to be on Friday but it only appears there once. It is listed twice on Wednesday, but Hiking (a canceled event) is meant to be on Wednesdays and reading is noticed as a replacement for outdoor tasks in case of poor weather. Scavenger hunt is also noted in the book to be canceled (these are presumably due to Laura and Max's absence and the lack of staff) but actually does appear on the calendar for some reason (but only once, so maybe they gave it a shot? I feel like Hiking would have made more sense as a trial run though)

edit: just realized hiking IS listed on the last Wednesday. so now I have no idea what the thinking THERE is

I initially thought that the shooting matches weren't listed, but on closer look they appear to have taken the place of some of the Friday reading (presumably because they replaced all the hiking days with reading???). I was tripped up a little by it being listed as "Shooting Stars Prizes" but I think that the actual shooting happens on that day as well.

Thursday is definitely the weirdest day. In addition the the random scavenger hunt, we have baseball and swimming competitions (sports events that should be on Wednesday) which I initially thought were meant to be replacements for the scavenger hunt, except they're on the wrong weeks. The other listed Thursday task is Rowing, which Ryan also does on Mondays, and are clearly meant to alternate witch day its on every week.

Maybe they offset the entire plan to put the scavenger hunt in the first week to get it out of the way? replacing what was meant to be the first rowing day with the hunt?

Speaking of rowing Ryan is consistently called the Sailing instructor in dialogue, but I think that's just a script error since we only ever see canoes and that's his job in the notebook.

I can't remember any off the top of my head (i'll have to keep a list when I start replaying next) but I'm pretty sure the game mentions things that aren't on the list at all.

Also, beneath the Calendar is a note listing the daily schedule. I can't find a screenshot of it, but i'm pretty sure its nonsense. It has four three hour blocks and none of them cover the daily events or leave room for free time activities.

Why did I decide to write a pre-canon work?
