The Summer Camp Event ran in Grow a Garden from June 6, 2026 to July 4, 2026, when the High Tide Harvest Event replaced it. It was built around one shared Campfire, a Crafting Bench called the Campfire Workshop, a bear NPC named Bearnaby, an hourly quest board and a Mythical event egg. This page is a reference for how those systems worked, with the numbers listed on the Grow a Garden wiki. The event is over, so everything below is written in the past tense. According to the wiki, the Campfire Clover and the Fire Wisp are no longer obtainable.
Event timeline
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Start | June 6, 2026 |
| End | July 4, 2026 |
| Event before it | Bizzy Bee Event 2026 |
| Event after it | High Tide Harvest Event and 4th July Event 2026 |
| Event currency | Sheckles (no special coin) |
Unlike most events that year, Summer Camp did not add a coin shop. Everything was paid for with fruit, Sheckles and the ingredients in the Workshop recipes.
How the Campfire tiers worked
Any fruit handed to the campfire added Ember. The amount depended on the fruit's rarity, and plants with the Honey trait could not be submitted. The fire only stayed lit while players kept feeding it. The wiki lists five tiers, and the top one is called the Super Fire.
| Tier | Ember for this tier | Duration | Crafting speed bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 300 | 1 minute | 100% |
| 2 | 1,700 | 2 minutes | 200% |
| 3 | 6,500 | 3 minutes | 300% |
| 4 | 4,100 | 3 minutes 30 seconds | 400% |
| 5 (Super Fire) | 7,400 | 4 minutes 30 seconds | 500% |
The Ember column is not cumulative, because the figures go down between tiers 3 and 4. Adding the five rows gives 20,000 Ember to climb from an unlit fire to the Super Fire. An earlier version of this guide printed running totals that ended at 20,700, and that last number does not match the wiki table.
The speed bonus applied to the Workshop. The wiki describes it as a crafting speed bonus per tier, so the same recipe finished faster the higher the fire stood when it was crafted.
The Campfire Workshop recipes
Players opened the Workshop at the Crafting Bench. An item unlocked once the fire had reached its tier. The wiki also notes that players could craft seeds with variants applied. Each recipe could be bought out of the queue with Robux, and the wiki shows a Robux price next to every one.
Tier 1 (1 minute each)
- Firepit Flower Seed: 2 Daffodil Seed, 1 Uncommon Egg, 1 Advanced Sprinkler, 100,000 Sheckles
- Cauliflower Seed: 1 Common Egg, 2 Corn Seed, 1 Cacao Fruit, 40,000 Sheckles
Tier 2 (4 minutes each)
- Campfire Crate: 1 Uncommon Egg, 1 Recall Wrench, 1 Trowel, 20,000,000 Sheckles
- Common Summer Egg: 1 Common Egg, 1 Silver Ingot, 1 Pepper Fruit, 10,000,000 Sheckles
- Green Apple Seed and Avocado Seed, each costing 100,000 to 120,000 Sheckles plus Advanced Sprinklers and basic produce
Tier 3 (30 minutes each)
- Super Watering Can: 15 Watering Can, 1 Master Sprinkler, 150,000 Sheckles
- Areaclaimer: 1 Harvest Tool, 5 Reclaimer, 1 Recall Wrench, 50,000,000 Sheckles
- Banana Seed and Kiwi Seed, priced at 180,000 and 1,000,000 Sheckles plus produce
Tier 4 (1 hour each)
- Hearth Reed Seed, Smoke Stalk Seed and Prickly Pear Seed, each costing 5,000,000 to 15,000,000 Sheckles plus sprinklers
- Rare Summer Egg: 3 Rare Egg, 1 Gold Ingot, 1 Beanstalk Seed, 30,000,000 Sheckles
- Flame Bear: 1 Campfire Egg, 1 Polar Bear, 15,000,000 Sheckles
Tier 5 (2 hours 30 minutes each)
- Campfire Egg: 1 Rare Egg, 1 Mango Seed, 1,000,000,000 Sheckles
- Paradise Egg: 2 Mythical Egg, 3 Master Sprinkler, 1 Gold Ingot, 100,000,000 Sheckles
- Energy Chew: 1 Rare Egg, 1 Beanstalk Seed, 1 Grape Seed, 500,000,000 Sheckles
- Feijoa Seed: 1 Mango Seed, 1 Rare Egg, 3 Master Sprinkler, 1 Elder Strawberry Fruit, 20,000,000 Sheckles
- Pitcher Plant Seed: 1 Pepper Seed, 1 Grandmaster Sprinkler, 1 Burning Bud Fruit, 10 Magnifying Glass, 30,000,000 Sheckles
Two things stand out. First, Tier 5 recipes ask for rare gear such as the Grandmaster Sprinkler, so the top tier was a way to convert stockpiled gear into seeds and eggs. Second, the wiki's Campfire Egg article gives a craft time of 45 minutes, while the Workshop table says 2 hours 30 minutes. The two pages disagree, and this guide uses the Workshop table.
Feeding Bearnaby
Bearnaby accepted a plant only if it matched three conditions at once: the requested trait, one of five mutation requirements, and a minimum weight.
- Trait: it changed every 30 minutes and followed a fixed order, not a random one. The sequence was Woody, Tropical, Flower, Berry, Leafy, Prickly, Vegetables, Fruits, then Stalky, which means a full loop took four and a half hours. An earlier version of this guide said the trait rotated hourly and at random, and the wiki says otherwise.
- Mutation: the possible requirements were Normal, Wet, Chilled, Shocked and Frozen. The requirement rose with the player's progress level.
- Weight: the minimum grew from 0.2 kg at the start to 25 kg at the top of the range.
Each submission filled one step of a 50-step progress bar. Every submission paid out one Campfire Seed Pack, every 25th submission also paid out an Inferno Shard, and finishing all 50 paid out one Exotic Campfire Seed Pack.
Because the trait order never changed, the next request could be predicted from the current one, and a garden with several crop types could cover the whole cycle.
Campfire Seed Pack odds
The Campfire Seed Pack held six seeds:
| Seed | Chance |
|---|---|
| Bear Claw Flower | 40% |
| Venus Beartrap | 25% |
| Flame Berry | 20% |
| Smore Suckle | 10% |
| Campfire Clover | 4.5% |
| Mallow Melt | 0.5% |
The Campfire Clover is a Divine, multi-harvest crop. A 4.5% chance per pack means about 22 packs for an average of one Clover. Treating each pack as independent, the 50 packs from a full Bearnaby progress bar gave roughly a 90% chance of at least one Clover. The same 50 packs gave only about a 22% chance of a Mallow Melt, which shares the 0.5% slot with the Fire Wisp.
Campfire Egg and its pets
The Campfire Egg was a Mythical egg with a 4-hour hatch time, added on June 6. These are the pets and their hatch chances from the wiki.
| Pet | Chance | Ability |
|---|---|---|
| Cicada | 55% | Summer Buzz: lands on a plant and makes it grow extra each second for a time |
| Newt | 35% | Renewtal and Summer Harvester: a chance to duplicate harvested plants, higher on Summer type plants |
| Nightjar | 9.5% | Call of the Night: consumes a Moonlit fruit to boost a random pet, with a larger passive boost if the fruit is also Bloodlit |
| Fire Wisp | 0.5% | Heart of Fire and Fireheart: can apply the Ember variant to a plant, and can apply the Ember pet mutation to a random level 100 pet |
The Fire Wisp ability has a cost. Fireheart can reset the level 100 pet it targets back to level 0. Anyone who held a maxed pet next to a Fire Wisp had to weigh that risk. Hatching 50 eggs gave about a 22% chance of one Fire Wisp, and the average cost to see one was around 200 eggs.
Campfire quests and the Inferno Ritual
Players received three quests at a time, one Easy, one Medium and one Hard, and the board refreshed every hour. Finishing all three let the player pick one reward. The listed reward chances were Campfire Crate 23%, Campfire Seed Pack 19%, Areaclaimer 19%, Campfire Egg 17%, Campfire Fence 13% and Flamebud Seed 8%.
The Inferno Ritual used the Ritual Altar. It needed a lit fire at Tier 1 or higher, four Inferno Shards placed in the slots around the altar and one pet on the podium. The duration depended on the pet's rarity and ran from 15 minutes up to 18 hours, and the campfire's speed bonus kept applying while the ritual ran unattended. Completing it gave the pet the Inferno pet mutation. Since a shard only came every 25 Bearnaby submissions, one ritual meant 100 submissions.
Reaching 80% of the Campfire Collection let a player claim the Campfire Shovel skin.
Common mistakes
- Feeding the fire only when the progress bar looked empty. The tier duration is short, so late-tier crafts needed steady submissions.
- Bringing the wrong crop type for the current half hour. Check the requested trait first, because it moves on a fixed 30-minute schedule.
- Using a maxed pet as the target for Fire Wisp without reading Fireheart.
