The Pokémon Summer Camp is a summer school that lasts for a week,
located between Geosenge Town and Shalour City, past Reflection Cave.
At arrival, Trainers are given a cabin to stay in for the whole Summer Camp,
and are put in a team. The teams participate in various activities to earn points,
and at the end of the camp the team with the most points is inducted in the
camp's hall of fame. For each activity the distribution of points is as follows: the
winners get 10 points, second place gets 7 points, third place gets 3 points,
and everything after that gets no points. The last night of the Summer Camp is
celebrated with fireworks. Diantha participated in the Summer Camp when she
was younger and managed to get into the hall of fame. The activities consist
of a battle tournament (During the first day of the camp, a one on one battle
round is organized so the participants can be introduced to each others. No
points are given out of this, so every Trainer can freely choose their
respective opponent. All of the fifteen battles are held simultaneously on the
beach in front of the main hall, and are refereed at least by Professor
Sycamore and Cosette, who decide when the battle ends without any
Pokémon fainting being a requirment, but rather when both had performed
enough.), Fishing Competition (During the second day, the participants start
competing as part of their teams. They engage in a fishing competition, where the awards are given depending on which team gets the bigger catches. Note that the Trainers do not keep the Pokémon they reel in.),
PokeVision Competition (The event for the third day consists on making
PokéVision videos. Sophie prepares tools for making Poké Puffs and
grooming at the camp's main hall, so the Trainers can show off their
Pokémon in their recordings. The teams are free to use the tools and scout
for nearby places where to film, as well as take their time planning and
editing, since they are given time until the evening to finish them. Then, the
videos are screened at 9:00 PM and the results are determined by the
contestants, who vote for teams that are not their own.), PokeEnteering
Competition (A team on team orienteering is held on the fifth day. The teams
compete by collecting stamps from seven checkpoints set up throughout a
course, then head for the goal back at the camp. Sophie and Cosette are
appointed two of the checkpoints so they can keep track of which teams are
reaching each checkpoint first and which ones are leading overall. In order to
testify the arriving of a team, one representative and their Pokémon need to
reach and mark a map with a stamp pad that are located on each
checkpoint, often in places that are difficult to reach.), and finally a Team
Battle Tournament (For the sixth day, a tournament is organized as the last
event at the camp, consisting on having battles between the teams, as in a
Triple Battle but with three Trainers per side instead of one, much like a Tag
Battle as well. This battle format is called "Team Battle" and is not exclusive
to the Summer Camp, as there are events on which more than three Trainers
can team up. As opposed to the event for the fist day, all of the battles are
held one at a time at the beach and are refereed by Professor Sycamore,
with the other campers watching them from the stairs, serving as
bleachers.)
