Detailed walkthrough
The event begins by gathering around the campfire. Bloodbugs will spawn during each activity. The first interactive activity is to fight off the "shadows" which are five wooden boards painted black that will appear around the camp, dealing enough damage will cause them to disappear. The next interactive activity is to eat, drink, and emote around the campfire. The third activity is to gather firewood from three areas nearby which will spawn both dry and wet kindling. Collecting 10 dry kindling will progress the event but wet kindling will spawn ants, ticks, and radroaches.

The fourth activity is to find the missing camper's items. The camper's backpack is either in the locker room or under the marquee where the radstag doe corpse is hanging and the camper's lunchbox in the picnic area, but the rest of the event changes depending on which holotape Scout Leader Penny finds.

If the holotape is Layla's, there will be a lucky charm in the showers, a diary in the locker room, and occult tomes in the tent. Once all these items are collected a 1-star legendary wendigo named camp counselor Nia will spawn along with a pack of wolves and bloodbugs. The campfire will start going out and the wendigo must be killed before it goes out or the event will be failed. The player can gather and add additional kindling to the campfire to add more time.

If the holotape is Ronnie's there will be insect pins in the locker room, a dirt-filled jar in the camp office, and a pet rock northwest of the campfire, near a water pump and cooking station. Once all these items are collected three waves of insects will begin spawning, including radroaches, ticks, ants, bloodbugs, bloatflies, stingwings, bee swarms and radscorpions. The 1-star legendary radscorpion in the third wave must be killed before the campfire goes out or the event will be failed. Additional kindling can be gathered and added to the campfire to add more time.

Once the radscorpion or Nia is killed, the quest completes, awarding ammo, XP, caps, and a 25% chance of a Possum badge if The Order of the Tadpole has been completed.
