Camp Cold Lake

Camp Cold Lake, a water sports camp, is the main setting for the fifty-sixth Goosebumps book, The Curse of Camp Cold Lake.

History
Camp Cold Lake is based beside its namesake, Cold Lake. The camp is located near a town, but the two are separated by woods. In these woods live spiders and snakes. The camp has twenty rules designed to keep its campers safe. One of the most noteworthy rules is the "buddy system," which requires that every camper be paired with one other before entering the lake.

According to the head counselor, no campers have ever drowned at Camp Cold Lake. Sarah Maas is initially suspicious of this claim, as she is haunted by a ghost named Della throughout the duration of her stay. This ghost is desperately searching for a "buddy" to be with in the afterlife. Della ultimately reveals that she didn't drown; she was bitten by a snake in the nearby woods. Sarah is saved by a girl named Briana, but Briana reveals she became a ghost after Della killed her. While Briana refused to be Della's buddy, she wants to be Sarah's buddy forever.

Counselors
Counselors at Camp Cold Lake typically wear dark green camp shirts; though, these specific shirts don't seem to be mandatory at all times. While Camp Cold Lake features many counselors, only two are named.
 * Richard: Head counselor. Tends to make jokes, and overall is a friendly, laid-back guy.
 * Liz: Head of water activities. Attractive and well-liked, but very serious about water safety, frequently lecturing on the camp's rules.

Activities

 * Swimming
 * Canoeing
 * Certain campers are allowed to partake in a six-day canoeing trip.

Camp song
When gathered around the campfire, campers can sing the camp's official song. Listed below are the partial lyrics overheard by Sarah Maas:


 * Wetter is better...
 * Get in the swim.
 * Show your vigor and vim...
 * Every son and daughter
 * should be in the water,
 * the cold, cold water
 * of Camp Cold Lake.
