Ellisa is prepared for battle! She is waiting on a battle pad in the garden near the orchard!
((OOC: All of the above team won multiple gym badges back in the day, with the exception of Zero (my Houndour), who is a goofy baby. Let me know if you're interested in battling a younger, less experienced team instead.))

For those of you who missed it last year, we had experts of various fields come to the island to give classes on things like survival, gardening, ranger training, TM use, ect. Students of all ages were welcome to come and stay on the island for free, participate in the classes, as well as got to tour the island and possibly meet a new partner to take home.

I will not elaborate
I'd like to wish the best for those who have difficult or nonexistent relationships with their mothers. Days like today can be particularly hard for those of us who do not celebrate, while we watch everyone else experience something we never will. It's okay if you can't be around your mom, if you can't forgive her, or if she won't be around you for whatever reason. You don't have to feel guilty for not reaching out to someone who hurt you. Celebrate yourself instead.
Summer Camp Guidelines
Hello staff and campers! It is a beautiful day to be welcoming so many visitors to the island, and I hope you all enjoy your stay here. There are a few things to keep in mind over the next two weeks:
Foster Island has a tropical climate, meaning that the temperature and humidity will be very high. Remember to keep yourself and your team hydrated, apply sunscreen regularly, and take breaks indoors or in the shade as needed. Bring NeverMeltIce for your ice-type and other cold climate dwelling partners.
The caves and sandbar are off limits, except by guided tour with a staff member for your own safety. Rising tides flood the lower cave levels and swallow the sandbar every day. Please do not let your recklessness ruin everyone else's time.
There is a loose curfew of 11 pm. All guests should be indoors, or settled into a campsite, by this time to avoid late night accidents. This allows our staff to take necessary breaks and be rested to help you during the day.
Food is served in the cafeteria from 6am to 11pm, with breakfast and dinner services from 7-9am and 6-8pm respectively. If you have allergies or other dietary restrictions, simply ask a staff member! If you happen to miss the open hours of the cafeteria all together, there are vending machines and microwaves in the common rooms of the main and housing buildings, and all fruit in the orchard and gardens are free to harvest and enjoy.
Worried about getting around the terrain? Ask about our available ride Pokémon and other mobility aids! All elevators, hallways, and rooms are designed to be accessible, however some of the outdoor features may be difficult for those with mobility issues, which is what our ride Pokémon and carts are available for.
Forgot something, or need other assistance? Visit the welcome center and let a staff member know. We will do everything we can to help you have a safe and enjoyable stay.
With your participation, we can make this week safe and fun for everyone! Thank you all for your cooperation!
My fingers are burning after making pepper jelly in a food preservation class earlier. Students should be reminded to do as I say and not as I do: please wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
Before we begin this year's summer camp classes, I'd like to remind everyone that we had some really good ones last year. Some of this year's classes may be a follow-up from last year, so I'll link them here in case anyone wants to check it out.
