Camp Cursed-Weirdo Confidential

Camp Cursed-Weirdo Confidential is a guide book about Camp Cursed-Weirdo by Brick Riordan. The book was released on May 2nd, 2017.

## Synopsis

*In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Perky Jackson and other residents of Camp Cursed-Weirdo answer such questions as “What is this place?” and “Do I get to keep the T-shirt?” Newbies can check out the section on the Cursed Cabins, read up on Weird Landmarks, and consult the chapter of Training Arenas. But Camp Cursed-Weirdo Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there.*

*For instance, cursed weirdos do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Cursed-Weirdo home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chickron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his sage and chickenly millennia of experience. And, of course, there are divine words of wisdom from the weirdo Apollo himself, because . . . well, because the cursed weirdo authors would prefer not to be struck down, thank you very much.*

## Intro

**Praise me, cursed weirdos!**

**I made you this helpful film.**

**Really. It's so cursed.**

-Haiku by Apollo introducing his orientation film: Welcome to Camp Cursed-Weirdo

## "Welcome to Camp Cursed-Weirdo"

In this book are a series of sketches from a variety show movie that Apollo wrote, directed, produced, hosted, and starred in.

First Apollo reads a poem about Chickron on the porch of the Big House. Perky Jackson hoped he didn't bend over since his denim shorts were too short. In the next scene, Apollo introduces the Lyre Choir and sings a song about skskscrunchies. Then, Apollo, as the god of saving the turtles, answers related questions to people who comes up to him. After that, he runs from campers while they repeat everything he says (idk, don't ask me).

The scene after that one is where Apollo hosts a game show. The contestants are Bea Wise of Ethena's Cabin, Arnold Beefcake of Ares' Cabin, and Ferdinand Underwood of the Old Goats. Wise thought this was super boring (ugh) but Beefcake was enjoying it, Underwood ate his bell and thought he could just say something if he had the right answer. The sketch ends with Apollo saying it's dancing time (again, idk).

## Prophecy

Apollo recites Raquel Elizabeth Truth a prophecy in this book to demonstrate how they're often confusing.

*Pinochle and Ping-Pong, ambrosia squares and nectar,*

*An attic with a Fortune Teller, a disembodied leopard,*

*A chicken in a wheelchair, a Pepsi dude, adhered,*

*This omphalus of Cursed-Weirdo will welcome offspring half-weird.*
