At Camp YA we like to embrace our (slightly) competitive side with the #CampYACup. Alongside your team, you will complete challenges to win our highly coveted cup – and everlasting glory within the bookish community. This year you will be able to team up with campers on the ground in London, as well as campers from all over the world.

Rules
No hate or malicious behaviour towards other members of your team, counselors, performers or other campers. Any poor behaviour will result in you being removed from your team.
All submissions to score points must be put on your team’s discord chat with a message indicating what task it is for.
Any complaints or worries can be expressed to your counselors or any other member of the core team – whoever you feel comfortable with. Our door is always open.
Do not judge others for their resources or the quality of their task if it is clear they have put effort into it.
