Nestled comfortably in the beautiful wilderness of northern Minnesota, Camp Haven welcomes youth of all talents and abilities to its summer programs. Though our history is short, our reputation is strong. The camp is affiliated with the Haven School for Gifted Youth, a private academy dedicated to helping mutant children better understand and control their abilities, as well as Haven University, a college with the same mission for young adults. We aspire to be an inclusive and accessible camp; We offer programs for teenagers and young adults alike as well as international programs for foreign campers. Financial aid is available for some participants who qualify thanks to programs through the affiliated schools. Come and join us for a week, or the whole summer if you'd like! You might make a new best friend, or learn something new and exciting about yourself along the way!
The ACTIVITY CHECK has been postponed in order to plan for a few changes coming to Camp Haven in the future! Big things are coming soon, so stick around!
Age: 23
Date of Birth: 13 October 1994
Mutation: Pyrokinesis
Staff: Oriole Cabin Senior Counselor
MUTATION INFORMATION:
The ability to manifest flame by feeding off the oxygen in the air. The more dry the place is, the better.
The ability to manipulate and shape this flame to his will, growing it in size or keeping it in a very controlled state.
Being a very emotionally fueled ability, this means if he is not in the right mindset, the ability may be more difficult to control or not wield the same power.
While he may control the flame, there is also the very real possibility of being burnt himself. This has and still does happen if distracted, a sudden surge of a strong emotion or sheer disregard for safety.
As of this moment, no flames larger than a large bonfire are able to be created and often leave him exhausted. He has successfully and skillfully managed the size of a large campfire with less than to no fatigue.
ICEBREAKERS:
1. What color are you? How does this color make you feel?
“I mean… I would say red, don’t you think? A little cliche given what I can do, but looking at my personality I think it rings very true. It’s the color of a wild child and, according to my parents, I am. I’m pretty content with it– enjoy living up to it.”
2. Sunrise, daylight, twilight, or night? Why?
“Personally, I would have to say… twilight. It’s right when things can either get really fun or the perfect time to turn in for the night. It can be so many things, I just love it.”
3. What quote do you think best describes your life?
“Well… though it’s not really the best motto to have, I think it’s very important. ‘Stay messy, sweetheart’ or in other words, the whole Carpe Diem cliche. I just think you gotta have some fun with your life sometimes. Get a little wild, you know? Eat that ice cream after ten pm or stay out late with your friends. That sorta belief.”
4. Describe your favorite material object that you already own.
“This… might seem a bit odd, but I love my pajama shirts. They’re a nice silk, but some are satin. They’re just very comfortable and I wish I could live in them, but unfortunately… I think that would be highly frowned up. They have cute little sayings on them, though!”
5. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you want to have with you?
“Let’s see… a bottle of wine, a knife, and… probably a soft bed. A bottle of wine because well, I’d rather enjoy something if I’m stranded and a knife for… I dunno… survival and whatnot? And a bed because I’m not sleeping on the ground.Call me high maintenance, but I like to feel comfortable?”
6. What is the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you that you’re willing to share?
“Ah… you see, we used to have this landscaper for our summer house, right? It was this villa in Miami. I loved it. Well, sometimes he would bring his son around to help and the boy was about the same age as me at the time, maybe a year older. But we… fooled around some and one day while he was there and we were hiding out in the pool house, my parents found us… I was mortified… it’s.. Aha, it’s what got me sent here actually, so I don’t really regret it. I just… god, I was ready to just burst into flames… oh, ha!”

Apologies if this has been asked before. Will you be shutting the directory down on Sep 12 ?
We still don’t know! We have contingencies for if the members are interested in staying in our roleplay, maybe not in a camp setting, after summer is over. But even if we do ultimately close at the end of the summer, we fully intend to come back over winter break, and next summer as well!
Age: 19
Date of Birth: 14 October 1998
Mutation: Poison Manipulation
Cabin: Chickadee
MUTATION INFORMATION:
miasma emission: without gloves on and if she isn’t controlling herself, her hands emit small amounts of miasma. From just below her elbows to the tips of her fingers her skin glows neon green. The miasma can cause people to be sick if they breath it in, but her control is good enough that she keeps her poison locked up
death inducement: this happens slowly due to the nature of her poison. Skin to skin contact is enough to pass the poison over to someone and it’s deadly enough to cause a slow but painful death unless the anitdote is taken ( she carries that with her at all times ) luckily she has enough control now that she doesn’t accidently poison people.
acid generation: it takes a great amount of energy and control for her to do this but with enough concentration she can melt or disintegrate objects with a touch
poison immunity: other poison and venom don’t affect her except her own. She can handle any other poison but ingesting her own could harm her. Otherwise she’s fine
ICEBREAKERS:
1. What color are you? How does this color make you feel?
“I’m blue…like the sky, and the waters… it… makes me feel free–makes me think of my best friend.”
2. Sunrise, daylight, twilight, or night? Why?
“Daylight, i don’t like the dark and…the sky looks the best in the day.”
3. What quote do you think best describes your life?
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
4. Describe your favorite material object that you already own.
“My blue gloves, they were from my parents and they’re blue..”
5. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you want to have with you?
“gloves…. A full book shelf…oreos”
6. What is the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you that you’re willing to share?
Age: 17
Date of Birth: 19 November 2000
Mutation: Biometal Physiology
Cabin: Meadowlark
MUTATION INFORMATION:
( superior physical strength ): chaewon’s core ability is being about to transform her body entirely out of malleable metal which grants her superior physical strength and high resilience to damage done by physical means. although being only young, it is still being developed as she still has problems controlling her shifting - occasionally unable to turn back from metal form to her normal form and vice versa.
( sensitivity to extreme heat ): coming in contact to fire immediately weakens her metal body when transformed, slowly draining her agility as well as her strength. though she’s able to turn back into her normal form when she’s desperate.
( magnetism ): magnetic fields are also a weakness to her metal body when coming into contact, or when coming into contact with someone with the particular ability. this leads to her metal body vulnerable, making it more difficult to control, making it somewhat possible for someone to control her movements to an extent.
( camouflage ): she’s able to make use of her environment and scatter herself in order to conceal her identity. although she has the ability to blend herself with the environment through shapeshifting and mimicking, her shadow does not disappear while blending in with metal itself is deemed more accurate. if not, she’s easily seen hiding elsewhere.
( density control ): silver is able to mold her body, making her body as soft or as hard as she is able to fit whatever situation she’s in for the sole purpose of strengthening her defense against danger. but when transformed, it would also affect the density of her entire body as the harder her metal body is, the more difficult it is for her to move due to her increased body weight if not used correctly. when swimming or placing her feet in substances like sand, she will most likely sink.
ICEBREAKERS:
1. What color are you? How does this color make you feel?
“ what color am i? that’s an interesting question! i don’t have much knowledge on the meaning of colors but i would say any color in relation to red. like maroon or burgundy. though i might learn towards the maroon color. for the most part, the color red is significant to power? or for me, ambition! my blood pressure gets high often, i get the burst of adrenaline! any shade of red could also mean anger but i don’t really get angry easily. do i? “
2. Sunrise, daylight, twilight, or night? Why?
“ i would say it’s between twilight or night. but since scary campfire stories occasionally make me anxious, lets go with twilight. i mean, have you seen a sky painted in purple and orange? it’s so aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. twilight adds color, not to mention it’s never too cold nor too hot? is that too specific? “
3. What quote do you think best describes your life?
“ it may be a simple quote but i’ve only just thought of one from the top of my head. “
“ i might seem alright but it’s not easy for me. “
she thought of all the situations she had to endure, all two of them, it sort of damaged her emotionally especially considering how young she was and the last wasn’t even long ago (last summer to be exact?). “my dad always told me to endure and that’s what i’ll continue to do. not everyone in the world is okay with mutants like us, if no one hasn’t figured that out yet. so i’m grateful to be staying at this camp for another summer!” chaewon raises her arm up and down, what she usually did as a child to pump herself up whenever she feels a bit down.
“it’s a cheesy explanation but i’m not afraid to speak up!”
4. Describe your favorite material object that you already own.
“ i don’t seem to have any material object that has any special significance to me, sadly. i could say the deep blue hair ribbon that i wear everyday? it’s a nice accessory to my hair? oh! or my dreamcatcher that hangs over my cabin bunk. it keeps nightmares at bay, at least that’s what my mom says.” she twists her neck, lets out a sigh. “i really don’t think it does anything most of the time but she gave it to me so i think it would have been good if i kept it.”
when she was given the thing at first, she initially thought it was dumb though.
5. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you want to have with you?
“ do i really have to choose only three things to bring on a desert island? can’t it be fivethings? anyway… it would possibly be best to bring my sunscreen because burnt skin is a big no no? desert islands can be a hot place, that or an umbrella to hide myself from the sun because heat doesn’t go well with my ability. i can’t be burned to death. two? maybe a type of weapon like a spear because i can’t break everything with just my fists and three? a big large hammock. “
6. What is the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you that you’re willing to share?
did she really not have any embarassing stories to share? she could think of one, not sure if she would call it embarassing but it was embarassing for her, looking like a wimp, even with her strong abilities. well - here goes.
“i almost peed my pants after my friends attempted to scare me with a skeleton mask last summer, in the woods? i told them before i wasn’t scared of anything but pretty sure the entire forest heard me shriek!”
“there’s nothing else that can scare me! just… horror stories by the fire scares me.” chaewon was pretty sure that her face would turn red every time anyone talked about it. it wasn’t a super embarassing story to tell people but it wasn’t pleasant remembering it. “i don’t wanna hear people making fun of me, got it?”
although what made it more funny was that chaewon was always up for an adventure, like hiking and yet horror stories creep her out.
