Welcome to my newest series, "Waddling Down Memory Lane", in which I will be reminiscing on the best memories out of my 10 years of classic Club Penguin experiences- and what made them so great in the first place. I thought the timing was appropriate to discuss this first party, given the Summer season is now upon us- does anyone remember Camp Penguin?

Camp Penguin was a party held on Club Penguin celebrating the summer season and the excitement that goes with visiting a campground or being at a summer camp. The whole island was decorated like a campground, too- the dock was an outdoor cookout, the Pizza Parlor was a Mess Hall (food fights included), the Beach had a huge interactive campfire- and there were even snow trails dug in every direction to give the feeling of hiking around the wilds.

Fun fact: Camp Penguin was the first party on Club Penguin to be under the Walt Disney name in August 2007.

Camp Penguin Mess Hall (Pizza Parlor) |
The visuals at this party were top notch as well. Every room in Camp Penguin is so visually appealing from the shrubbery, to the the snow trails, to basically everything in the Mess Hall. Everything just had a friendly and inviting atmosphere. No party in Club Penguin history has ever replicated the unique freehand artstyle style of Camp Penguin. This is a prime example of classic Club Penguin. Everything wasn't always proportionally accurate, not every room had straight lines, and most shadows weren't correct if there were shadows at all. But that's what made the visuals of the pre-2009 parties so unique.

Somewhat noteworthy: Camp Penguin didn't have a plot to go along with it. Herbert didn't try to step in, Sasquatch wasn't hiding in the bushes stealing food, and no mascots tried to steal the show. Camp Penguin was for the penguin's enjoyment, and back in the day, that was Club Penguin's philosophy. This only goes to show that good parties don't need to have a plot, but need to have atmosphere- something which Club Penguin seemed to forget after 2013.

Seeing all of the camp made me incredibly happy. Getting the free marshmallow stick, throwing logs into the campfire, these are some of the most memorable moments in my Club Penguin history. But most importantly, the party was fun. That's what made Camp Penguin a party I will never forget.
