Summer Camp was so much fun! And, huge thanks to @storerboughtcreation, @LovelyMiss, and @Smeddley for everything you do to keep the games fresh and fun (and still going!).
But, I also want to let everyone who posted projects to know how incredibly inspiring you all are! You keep me on my toes creatively, and I love it! 
Thank you all again so much for such a fun summer season! I kept obsessively checking in the whole time because I was afraid of missing something!
Just a heads up, summer prizes will be shipping later than usual - likely the third (but maybe 4th) week of October. I wanted to mention it in case anyone starts to worry! 
Iāll send tracking numbers once they ship.
Summer Nerd Games 2025 packages have shipped and should mostly all be delivered this coming week. If you submitted for pins or prizes and did not receive a tracking number, please let me know ASAP. If you get your package and are missing anything, or got any wrong items, please also let me know ASAP. I triple check things, and there are still occasional hiccups!
Youāre amazing and so generous. 
Thank you for making the nerd games extra special each season!
My camp stuff just arrived! No photos so everyone can be surprised, but aaah!
@LovelyMiss, are there any special washing instructions for the shirt?
Thank you for asking!
Camp Nerd Games Shirt Care Instructions
The colors will fade during the first 1-3 washes. That is by design and on purpose! It will give it a more vintage, worn-in look. Do not be alarmed! You may want to wash it separately a few times to avoid unlikely but potential staining, though itās not strictly necessary.
Hand wash, or machine wash inside out on delicate setting. Use cold (or lukewarm) water. Launder alone or with like colors. Do NOT bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Do NOT iron.
My package arrived last night! Thank you so much for all the thoughfulness; it was so fun to open!
I got my package as well and just love everything! @LovelyMiss - thank you for going above and beyond to make this the best craftalong! Iāll be proudly wearing my camp tshirt frequently.
Same! I may even have mine on now.
My package arrived today!
MrSBC: you got a cool shirt?! Why didnāt I get a cool shirt?!
My package arrived today too! Thank you, @LovelyMiss!
Ooh, Iām excited for mine to arrive!!
I just checked the tracking and was reminded that I had provided the address to our vacation place (where I spent the summer) vs the house (where I am right now). Good news - the tracking shows that the package has arrived and I will be there this weekend! I canāt wait to get the packageā¦especially after reading all the comments above!
Got my package and i love everything. You went so far above and beyond for this. Thank you so much. You rock!
Can someone explain to me what the prompt means when you put October Battle-Group or Solo?
How does this prompt get used and work? Does it go along with the monthly prompt, ie. October Spice? How many times can it be used, etc.
The Battle is a separate monthly prompt. You choose whichever āsideā you want to use (in this case, group or solo). It works like the regular monthly prompts except that it must be posted in that month. So the October Battle will close after 10/31 even though the other prompts carry over throughout the season. Does that make sense?
So each time you finish one of the spice prompts you need to also pick a side? What does a group battle mean vs. a solo? Does the team get points or you get points or what?
SBC will tally how many people chose group and how many chose solo and declare whichever got used the most the Battle winner. It has no bearing on the NG teamsā scores; itās just an added element for that prompt.
The spice (monthly) prompts are separate, so you donāt incorporate the battle/choose a side on those.
Monthly Prompts can only be completed once. There are 6 Monthly Prompts. One āBattleā and five āregular/non-Battleā prompts.
Battles are unique in two ways: 1) You need to complete it within the assigned month (if you want to complete it this season), and 2) You pick one of the āvs.ā options. Itās all for fun and does not matter which āsideā you pick. It does not impact points.
As an example, you might make a set of items and choose āGroup,ā or you might make a single item and choose āSolo.ā You can literally make up any interpretation you want for why you chose the āsideā you chose.
Also, no stress is needed! If any info is missing or something gets wonky, storerboughtcreation usually reaches out when she does the tracking updates.
Thanks! I got it! Just one more way to fit in a project! I am working on something now that I think will qualify.
So by the end of the month I am aiming to do all of the spice prompts plus the battle for six and all the other fair themed things will continue to the end of this quarter with new prompts for November and December. I can see why these games are so motivating!
