Camp Metapod

Located on Metapod Island, located just west of Alola’s Ula’Ula Island, the summer camp is an annual, month long event open to Pokemon trainers between the ages of 12 and 20 during the month of August. The summer camp serves as a vacation spot for trainers to rest, relax, and make new friends, though it also serves as a place for trainers to learn more about Pokemon. The counselors and staffers here aim to help the trainers within a variety of activities. During the month trainers are here, they partake in a variety of activities, ranging from battles to sports to arts and crafts, acting like your regular old summer camp. Friendships and rivalries are born here and often, some of the campers eventually go on to become counselors and staffers themselves. The camp founder, Thomas Meyers had started this camp in hopes of giving trainers new opportunities to develop friendships, as he believes developing positive friendships is crucial in any young person’s development.
