Camp HyruleCamp Hyrule is Nintendo of America's free, annual, five-day virtual camp, held at www.camphyrule.com since August 1995. This year's event will most likely be held in mid-August; in order to attend, campers will need to register in advance (most likely in late July). Upon attending camp, each camper is assigned a virtual cabin. The main highlight is the inter-cabin competition, which lasts throughout the duration of the entire camp. Each day, campers are assigned tasks for which points are awarded. Some past examples include poetry submissions, "face painting", and game tournaments. The top three cabins with the most points at the end of the camp are awarded with downloadable screensavers, wallpapers, and other graphics. Prior to August 2000, they received actual posters via snail mail, but Nintendo discontinued them to cut down on costs. In addition, Camp Hyrule also features numerous chat rooms (one for every cabin and point of attraction) as well as Macromedia Flash games inspired by Nintendo's console video games. Before August 2002, Camp Hyrule was open to limited quotas of usually 1,000 maximum campers. However, since then, anyone who registers during the designated registration period is allowed to attend, but pre-registration is still a necessity. Each year, Nintendo designs the campgrounds on a theme, usually based off a major video game or console release that year. Examples of this can be found in the summary of past camps below. Hyrule is the name of the fictional kingdom in most (but not all) of the Legend of Zelda games published by Nintendo. Summary of past camps External links
