WHAT IS CAMP AMAROID?
Camp Amaroid is an AU for Night at the Museum taking place at a summer camp somewhere in the United States in the 2000s. The camp boards children from ages 8 to 16, providing them with ten weeks of summer fun. Three cabins are at the campsite: the Rowdy Romans, the Crazy Cowboys, and the Rambunctious Royals. These three teams complete weekly challenges to earn points, prizes, and eventually the Tablet of Triumph, the ultimate trophy of Amaroid excellence.
"Amaroid" holds a double meaning: its definition, a bitter substance taken from a plant; and its anagram - "diorama", which the cabins are based on.
This AU is a collaborative effort by HungryOnMain, bitterlemonade1, bmoshh, and autumnastra.
CAMPERS AND STAFF
Meet the characters present in this AU!
The Crazy Cowboys
The most hyperactive group on the campgrounds, the Cowboys are in the Blue cabin. They can never really keep their cabin clean, despite how Larry tries!
 Larry Daley Counselor Fanny pack is always stuffed with medical supplies. Perpetually tired.
|  Nick Daley Counselor In Training Backpack is full of snacks and treats. This makes him a magnet for the kids, who always try to steal it.

|

|  Petra Charría (10) Looks intimidating and tough, but is at their core a huge nerd. Love love LOVES bugs of all kinds.

|  Emilio de la Cruz (12) He loves music, he’s a mean dancer, and an awesome goalie! He’s scared of bugs, though.
|  Santiago Jimenez (12) Clumsy as heck - two left feet in everything except kickball and being sneaky. He enjoys building small crafts!
|
The Rowdy Romans
These kiddos in the Red cabin love a good hike in the woods or a day at the lake. Unfortunately, their love of the outside makes them the hungriest lot - you just can't keep 'em all fed!
 Theodore Roosevelt Counselor In charge of wilderness survival and hiking. Been here the longest, even longer than the owner.
|  Sacajawea Roosevelt Counselor In charge of all activities at the lake. Loves that the kids are getting some time outside.

|
 Manuela Delgado (11) This tomboy oves to be in the mud, super into any kind of sports, and gets all sorts of bruises from rough playing. Scared of the dark, but don't tell anyone.
|  Esme Velasco (10) The loud daredevil always getting into something. She always tries to include people, especially in her favorite sport: skating!
|  Cecily Pulcher (14) Too pretty to be stuck in this dump! Always complaining about something, except for Valerius's taste in beauty products.
|
The Rambunctious Royals
These kiddos in the Purple cabin prefer indoor activities, like arts and crafts or baking. They won't say no to a mud run, though! This cabin is mostly older kids and teens.
 Ahkmenrah El-Sayed Counselor Here as a summer job, runs the seasonal circuit. Secretly the favorite of all the campers.
|  Lancelot du Lac Counselor Takes his role as a "royal" a little too seriously. Kids think he's a bit odd, but a great playmate.

|
 Galahad du Lac (15) Lancelot's son, and only mildly embarrassed about it. Knows the best spots in the woods for sunbathing.

|  Bors de Ganis (13) Lancelot's hotheaded younger cousin. Frequently tells people his family descends from kings (whether this is believable or not is debatable).
|  Mary González (8) A grumpy girl with a big heart - don't let her attitude deter you from friendship! Will beat you up if you litter by the lake.
|
 Seti Huepa (11) Tries to act super cool and cold, but secretly insecure. Quick to pull silly jokes that land well... 9 times out of 10. Loves sports too, especially baseball!
|  Mordred Pendragon (8) A bit of a mean prankster, but really just wants friends. Likes to collect bones.
|  Giovanni Vitale (16) Oldest camper here, and angry about it. Wants to teach these dumb kids about the REAL world...
|
The Staff and Other Characters
The rest of the faculty that lives on the campgrounds.
 Dr. Leslie McPhee Camp Owner Has no clue how to interact with kids. Always watching...
| ![]() Sy Groundskeeper and Bus Driver Keeps the area clean and tells the best spooky stories. Their refusal to show their skin makes them a source of endless speculation by the campers.
|  Francis (15) Boy Scout On his troop's wilderness retreat, keeps sneaking away to the campgrounds. His sour attitude and prowess at hunting has earned him the title "The Wolf" by the younger campers.
