__NOTOC__Before the nuclear holocaust, Camp Highpool was a camping ground and retreat center for teenagers. The out-of-the way locale even attracted some businesses and merchants, and soon the town of Highpool was incorporated with a mayor and courthouse to oversee the activities and attract area interests.
Unfortunately, summer camp was in session when the bombs fell and most of the juveniles suddenly became orphans and homeless. The staff that remained took it upon themselves, with support from the surviving community and civic leaders, to take care of the youth. The camp now struggles to survive as a post-nuclear war settlement mostly left alone by the rest of the surrounding area. Its close proximity to Ranger Center keeps it a relatively trouble-free area and also guarantees a steady stream of travelers to and from the outpost of law and survival in The Wasteland.
However in recent days, hard times have fallen upon Camp Highpool. The razing of the Camp is what is being referred to. Mysteriously, in one night, many of the buildings were set alight and many more juvies were slaughtered. There are either no witnesses, or people refuse to mention names. There are whispers in the wind that the corpsewalker was behind this affair.
Points of Interest
Community Center: Here a general store and a gaming hall are maintained by Felbert Morgan, one of the few remaining camp administrators from the pre-bomb era. Felbert deals in basic equipment and supplies. However, now the community center lays in ruins. It is unclear where Felbert Morgan is.
Doctor’s Office: In the southeastern most area of the camp resides Doctor Bush, who generously donates his time and experience to keep the juveniles happy and healthy. He’ll gladly accept payment for fixing up travelers to the town; and, he has a reputation for having low fees for services rendered.
Cave: A cave is said to be accessible from somewhere west of the Lake. Older juvies go there to get into trouble, and most definitely find it there waiting in the dark.
