Summer Camp 2025: The Campfire Manual

Welcome, Campers! We're so excited to kick off our very first Summer Camp here at The Lilypad! This post is your official guide to participating in challenges, tracking your progress, and understanding how to qualify for monthly rewards. Please read everything carefully. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to post in the forum or reach out to the host.

1. Challenge Rules
While we want you to be creative and express your personal style, each challenge includes specific rules and requirements that must be followed to be eligible for prizes.

1. Your layout must meet all of the requirements listed in the challenge description. Some prompts may require journaling, specific products, or a certain type of photo.
2. You must create a unique layout for each challenge. Layouts must be new and created specifically for Summer Camp 2025.
3. You may scrap in any style or format as long as the challenge rules are followed.
4. Your layout must use at least 75% Lilypad product. Templates count as 15% toward that total. Fonts are exempt. Hybrid scrappers may use physical supplies but must still meet the digital product requirement. Retired products are allowed if they come from current Lilypad designers.
5. Gallery credits must include the full name of each product and the full name of the designer. Linking to the product is required. Credit tracker screenshots will not be accepted; if used, you’ll be asked to revise your credits.

2. Posting Your Layouts and Game Links
You must post your completed layouts in three locations:

• The Lilypad Gallery (Summer Camp 2025 Gallery is waiting for you)
• The specific challenge thread
• Your personal Layouts & Game Links thread

Each layout or game must be posted in its own reply — please do not combine multiple entries into one post. Do not create placeholder posts in advance. Post as you complete each layout or game.

For complete step-by-step instructions on setting up and using your tracking thread, visit: Please Read: Layout & Game Link Guidelines

3. Challenge & Game Schedule
Each week, two challenges and two games will be posted in that week’s Summer Camp forum. Posts will go live between 12:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time depending on the host's time zone and real-life schedule.

4. Monthly Challenge Rewards
Each month (July and August) includes 9 challenges. Based on how many challenges you complete in a month, you’ll receive the following rewards:

• 2 challenges = 10% off store coupon
• 4 challenges = 20% off store coupon
• 6 challenges = 30% off store coupon
• 7–9 challenges = 30% off store coupon + entry into a $50 gift certificate drawing

You may skip up to two challenges and still qualify for the monthly coupon and prize drawing. Completing all 9 challenges does not increase your reward, but you’ll have two extra layouts done!

• July challenges (Weeks 1–5): Layouts must be posted by July 31
• August challenges (Weeks 5–9): Layouts must be posted by August 31

You only need to complete 1 challenge from Week 5 to count it for July and then 1 Challenge from Week 5 to count it for August

Please note that monthly rewards are separate from grand prizes and special drawings. For all other prize opportunities, including Guest Community Polly spots, **special drawing**, and gift certificate drawings, please visit:

5. Need Help?
If you're unsure whether your layout meets the challenge requirements or you're having technical trouble, don’t panic! Post your question in the challenge thread, or contact the host directly.

Let’s make this an unforgettable Summer Camp together!
