          END OF THE SEMESTER GLAMPING RETREAT !

june meanders it’s way upon the campus, and with it brings the toil that comes along with the last leg of the spring semester -- deadlines, an overtime of repeated all-nighters, and the dreaded finals week. it’s a stressful time for both students and faculty alike, doing the best they can to wrap up the semester on the best foot they can manage. but with the anguish that comes with june also comes some relief in july -- the annual end of the semester camping retreat is plastered upon every bulletin board within the campus area, advertised within each student run publication and media known -- it would be difficult to not know about the heavily advertised trip.

this year the retreat is taking place in yeongnyu, a scenic town three hours away from seongnam which hosts the starlight resort, a well known luxury camping resort where nature is handed to you upon a silver platter. the entire expanse of the large resort has been rented out for those who have signed up for the trip for the 3 day 2 night stay that starts after finals week on july 1st, and runs throughout july 3rd. those who are going will meet up the morning of the 1st to travel to the town via executive coach bus, and will return back to the campus the evening of the 3rd. check under the cut for accommodations, activities, and a new idea -- the roleplay roulette!

as for accommodations, students and faculty will be split up by major departments into 6 camps ( a list of the split up is here ), each of which has clusters of luxury safari-style tents that rooms up to four people, and a dining pavilion where gatherings can be held ( and will be every night ).

the starlight resort takes place on a former national mountainous park, and provides an unfiltered connection with the natural beauty of countryside of south korea amidst a landscape of impeccable rustic elegance and comfort. some of the most popular wilderness adventures or outdoor activities include ( but isn’t limited to ):

it wouldn’t be camping if it didn’t have the most essential camping activities: you can go fishing within lake salmon, go hiking around the many nature trails specifically made for hiking, even around the mountainous terrain. there are also many rest spots throughout the resort that was made for stargazing -- and there promises to be a meteor shower on thursday night ( july 2nd ), in which a section of the camp will be dimmed in case you want to get that perfect view.

there’s a lake house upon the shores of lake salmon that provide several lake activities: zoom around on a personal watercraft such as jet skiing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, or water tubing, or maybe instead relax and have some fun with paddleboats or a floating trampoline.

the resort is home to many horses that roam around the backcountry, so why not join a group of other trail riders and go horseback riding? you’ll go through spirling meadows and cut through fresh streams while taking in breathtaking sights during the excursion. or maybe if you don’t want to be the one at the saddle, try going on horse drawn carriage rides so all you’ll have to do is sit back and enjoy.

or maybe if you need a need for speed, try taking different trails while driving an ATV or bike instead!

there’s also many exhilarating outdoor games to play, such as a section for capture the flag, a go-kart track, and paintball, as well as various sports.

indulge yourself in the many workshops that the resort has to offer! there will be around 5 classes a day that are taught by experts and are meant to enhance your camping experience. some are related to cooking, another about outdoor & wildlife photography, a paint and pour class where an artist will guide you to paint while drinking ( wine provided, but you are free to bring your own drinks ), and even a jewelry making class

the skyline aerial park adventure is an aerial rope course which will push the boundaries of your comfort zone. the introductory course includes 10 separate platforms, complete with rickety bridges, spider nets, swinging platforms, tight ropes and a heart-pounding 40-foot free fall. and if that isn’t enough, there’s a challenger course that will take you through elements that are more difficult and higher off the ground.

and lastly, every night there will be a gathering every night in each camp’s dining pavilion in order to produce harmony and bonding amongst student of the majors. feel free to play party games or have sing alongs around the campfire, drinking games within the pavilion, or just mingle, chat, and make new friends! participation is highly recommended, but not required.

OOC WISE, this event will start TODAY and will run for three weeks, so you have until JULY 10TH to post about the event. as always, you are free to continue your threads after the deadline, but no new threads can be made. please tag all threads relating to the event as SGN:STARLIGHT.

we are also doing something new for this event, called the roleplay roulette! there will be a new post made after this one calling for all of those that are interested to like the post on all characters you want to participate. all of the characters will be paired up randomly with another, given one of the activites above to set the scene, and will be given two sentences ( taken from sentence starters ) to use for your plot or thread -- it’s mandatory to use at least one of the sentence starters, but feel free to use both and make all of it work!

so take for example: person a & person b would be paired together, and then given paintballing as their activity, and the two sentences may bye “i know your secret,” and “why are you bleeding?”. all the who, what, when, where, and why regarding all this information and how you make the sentences work is between you and your partner! once enough people like the roleplay roulette post, we’ll reblog with the partners and all other information needed to start plotting. there will be multiple roleplay roulette posts so that brand new characters who want to join the event can do so, and you are free to do more than one for a character if you so choose.

also please note: please make sure you will be willing to plot with someone you haven’t before and actually rp with them if you like the post. the last thing we want to find out is someone who attempted to reach their partner but they won’t respond. we will give out warnings if we find out people are doing this, since you are agreeing to the above terms by liking the post when it’s made.

and that’s it! if there any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know!
