Camp Life

Your business becomes the town's Day Camp.
Camp Life turns a business you own into a real Day Camp. Families sign their kids up for the days they want, each camp day goes into the kids' schedules as a real game event, and they walk there on their own. You run the camp as the counselor: answer the kids, keep the parents happy, hire a team... and make sure everyone gets picked up at the end of the day.
Play the owner, a counselor or a parent. The panel follows the Zoi you control: the owner sets up the camp and the team, a counselor sees the campers and what they need, a parent enrolls their kids and reads their camp report.

🏕️ Your Day Camp

• Turn into a Day Camp: one button in the panel turns a business you own into a Day Camp, with its own business type, photo and recommended objects (easels, play kitchens, tool benches, rocking horses, kid tents, a popcorn machine...).
• Kids only: the camp is for Child Zois, up to 10 campers a day.
• Your schedule: pick the open days, the weekday hours (after school) and the weekend hours.
• Entry fee: each camper's family pays it to your business when the kid arrives. The happier the parents, the higher you can set it: up to 75 for a new camp, up to 200 for a camp parents love.
• One active Day Camp per family. You can turn it off anytime.
• Important: The game doesnt allow kids to be customers so the Day Camp type is set so Adolescents can visit it, if you don't want any random Adolescent visiting your daycare, set the door permissions to Employees Only. The kids will still be able to come in.

👧 Enrolling kids

• Parents enroll their kids on the days they choose, from the My Kids tab or the Town Camps list (each camp with its fee and its satisfaction).
• NPC families enroll their kids on their own. In a hurry? The Auto-enroll button fills your camp now.
• Kids who grow up leave the camp by themselves.
• Cheat mode (Settings): enroll any kid of the town in any camp, any day.

🙋 The campers come to you

During the day, the kids come and talk to the counselors:

• Complain About a Camper, Show My Scraped Knee, Show a Weird Bug I Found, Say I'm Bored, etc..

Answer with the new Camp Life talks: Comfort, Patch Up a Scrape, Settle a Squabble, Give a Gold Star, Scold..  The panel tells you which talks fit.
Let it slide and the parents will hear about it.

🎭 Every kid is different

Each camper gets a temperament from their traits:

• Easy-Going: no trouble at all.
• Shy: rarely comes to you, misses home.
• A Handful: loses their temper at other kids (a real fight of the game). Calm them down, scold them or settle it.
• Curious: runs off to play outside and comes back with dirty hands.
• Prankster: plays pranks on the other campers.
• Sensitive: cries when someone picks on them.

And there's more:

• Sick kids: a camper with a real illness needs Encourage to Take Medicine at a first-aid kit.
• Hungry or tired kids: when their Hunger or Sleep need drops under 40%, use Encourage to Eat or Encourage to Rest before closing time.
• Door doodles: Scold them, or Make Them Clean It Up.

🎨 Keep them busy

Encourage to.. talks send a kid to a real object of your camp: Play (swings, seesaw, rocking horse...), Paint, Read, Have a Snack (popcorn!), Rest, Eat, Wash Their Hands, Make a Friend.
Call the Kids to Eat: on a family-size dish (pancakes, cake...), every camper comes over and eats a piece.

⭐ Parents and satisfaction

• Parents ask for one thing for their kid each day: a snack, playing outside, reading, painting, a nap, a new friend, a compliment. Do it and they're happy.
• Every camper has a satisfaction. Good answers raise it, ignored events lower it.
• Under 20%, an NPC family takes their kid out of your camp.
• A happy camp can raise its entry fee. An unhappy one has to lower it.
• Difficulty (Settings): Easy, Normal or Hard changes how often things happen and how long you have to react.

🌅 End of the day

• Each camper earns skill experience, makes friends (and camp best friends after a few days together), and goes home with a moodlet.
• Parents get a camp report in My Kids.
• Pickup: at closing time, parents come to get their kid, share a kiss and walk home holding hands. Kids with no parent around walk home alone (still a WIP)
• The Log tab keeps every camp day of the week: who came, what happened, who picked them up.

💼 Hire counselors

• Write a Camp Counselor CV on any computer or laptop. An editor opens with your best skills, your availability and why you want the job. Teens can apply too.
• Apply to a camp from the Town Camps list. NPC owners answer within a few hours.
• Own a camp? NPC Zois of the town send you their CV: Hire or Decline.
• Ranks from Junior Counselor to Head Counselor, a daily wage, a performance score and the days each counselor works.
• Day Camp Job talks: Ask for a Promotion, Ask for a Raise, Talk About the Campers; and for the owner: Praise Their Work, Complain About Their Work, Give a Promotion, Let Them Go.

🏠 Parenting at home

A new Parenting talk menu for your own little kids: the same Encourage to [Action] talks, played with the objects at home, and Ask to Clean Up after they scribbled on a door. Kids who don't listen refuse more often.

🔗 Works with my other mods (optional)

• Family Life: the camp fee is paid by the family, not the allowance. Doodles, refusals and good behavior move the kid's Rebel / Obedient gauge. A teen counselor's wage goes into their allowance.
• AshCodes Translations: Camp Life in French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Korean. Pick your language "by AshCodes" in the game's options.

📦 Install

• Install with the CurseForge app, or unzip into 
  

  Documents/inZOI/Mods

  .
• Restart the game after installing or updating: the new talks and the business type load at launch.
• You need a business to run a camp. Any business your family owns can become a Day Camp.

🐞 Good to know

• This is the first version! Some parts (especially the pickup by NPC parents) depend on the game's own behavior and may be a bit wonky at first. Tell me what you see, I read everything.
