Summer is finally here.
No school. No homework. No boring routines.
Just Camp Rickel.
Tucked away from the noise of everyday life, Camp Rickel is the kind of place kids dream about spending their summer—beautiful cabins, towering trees, sparkling water, campfires under the stars, games, adventures, and endless opportunities to make new friends.
For a group of girls and boys arriving for the summer, it feels perfect. They swim. They explore. They compete in camp activities. They learn new things, laugh until their stomachs hurt, form unexpected friendships, and create memories they know they’ll never forget.
But Camp Rickel has secrets.
It starts with little things.
A strange sound coming from somewhere in the woods.
Something moving when everyone else is supposed to be asleep.
A place at camp they’re told never to go.
At first, they laugh it off.
Then they start seeing things too.
Things that shouldn’t be there.
Things that leave the campers staring at each other in complete shock.
Suddenly, their beautiful summer adventure becomes something much more mysterious.
And naturally, instead of staying out of it…
they decide to investigate.
Between friendships, hilarious camp moments, late-night adventures, beautiful summer memories, and mysteries hiding where they least expect them, the kids of Camp Rickel are about to have a summer unlike any other.
Because Camp Rickel isn’t a scary place.
It’s actually pretty wonderful.
It just happens to have a few secrets.
