A Change

Hey Jammers! I, olivejam have decided from now on to stop posting daily updates. There are a million of daily updates out there, and most Jammers that like AJ will actually go on and check out the new stuff if they can. The stuff is out there for all Jammers to see, so why look at updates for the second time?
Doesn't this stuff look familiar? You've already seen it in Jamaa!
I have been inspired by the few non-item blogs out there and by a few helpful buddies, to stop daily updates. I'll post more, and I'll post meaningful words about Jamaa. I'll post fun stuff, like my recent post, and I'll post exciting things about Jamma and hidden truths and secrets about AJ too. Making daily updates has felt like a chore, considering I already get to see them on Aj and then have to post it all on this blog. Thanks for hanging in there, and that's it for my first truly meaningful post! :D

How To Plan The Perfect Campout

I can get pretty bored on Animal Jam sometimes. Besides playing Sky High, why not host a campout? Well, here are some useful campout tips:

1. Be patient
In order to have a good campout, you need Jammers to come! Go to Jamaa and advertise your campout. But don't leave after saying, "campout my den!" Talk in detail and say it plenty of times. If jammers don't come, be patient and advertise more.



2. Help Jammers understand
If Jammers don't understand or get excited about your campout, they will likely leave. When there are plenty of Jammers at your den, explain that you will be going to ___ in Jamaa and will learn cool facts, sleep under the stars, explore, hunt, etc. 




3. Pick a good location
Remember, to have a good campout you need a good location. Choose a place that has a campfire, interesting facts and nature, not many Jammers, and plenty of wildlife and excitement. You can even set up a campsite in your den! I recommend Sarepia Forest, Mount Shiveer, Coral Canyons, etc.



4. Keep everyone interested
A campout won't be exciting without anything interesting or fun. Plan lots of creative activities, adventures, and fun facts. You can hike, have a scavenger hunt, raft, learn how to hunt, etc.


5. Be a good host
Try to be a good host to your campers. Take interest in things your campers notice or enjoy, and make sure to teach your campers fun nature facts. Don't act too serious, act excited, prepared, and maybe even have some humor. But remember most of all- it's ok to just be yourself!



6. Be prepared
In order to have a great Jamaa campout, you need to be prepared! Tell everyone to wear clothing suitable for where your camping, get bows and swords for hunting, backpacks, maps, and whatever you need to have some fun!


7. Setting up your campsite
I recommend sorting everyone into different tents,  or just getting some sleeping bags out and setting them around the campfire. (Or at least pretend to) Set up everything around the campfire, and grill your hunt on the fire in the middle. Tell ghost stories, and just chat about what you've done and what camping stuff you'll do tomorrow!



8. Make it not too long and not to short
Pick a reasonable amount of time for your campout. Don't make it too short or Jammers won't feel satisfied, and don't make it too long or you'll run out of night and morning activities and get bored. Pick a time in-between that allows you to enjoy the campout, while not get bored.



9. Saying goodbye
There comes a time at the end of a campout when it's time to say goodbye. You'll likely have made a few friends, so make sure to buddy and stay in touch. Remove your campsite, wish everyone a nice day and hope they all enjoyed it as much as you did.

10. Have fun!
All in all, just enjoy the experience and have a good time! Have fun camping, and make sure to be a happy camper!

Sorry!

I'm REALLY sorry I haven't posted in while, but I've had play practice every day after school. (I was a townsperson! :D ) It was actually pretty funny, the chef's line was "This party, will be a triumph!" Yet accidentally, at the night showing he said.  Chef: "This party, will be a failure!" Queen: I do hope so chef. XD

On that note, there are plenty of new AJ updates. First of all, there's the carnival which everyone likes. Lot's of rare items are being sold, and of course cotton candy!
