Straight from another galaxy and ready for adventure. Alien is curious about everything—from campfire songs to knot tying—and is always asking, “What’s next?” Don’t worry, they learn fast.

Bring a Friend - Big Foot
Bigfoot

The forest’s most famous friend (when you can find him). Bigfoot is a quiet trailblazer who knows every path, every shortcut, and every secret campsite. He may be hard to spot—but he always shows up for his crew.  Have you seen him  out at Camp?

Bring a Friend - Chupacabra
Chupacabra

Small, speedy, and full of mischief, Chupacabra is the ultimate night explorer. Whether it’s tracking sounds in the woods or sneaking the last marshmallow, this little legend keeps things exciting.

Mothman

Drawn to light and big adventures, Mothman keeps watch from above. With sharp eyes and silent wings, they’re always looking out for the crew—and guiding the way when it matters most.
