The Summer Camp event arrived in Grow a Garden on June 6, 2026, bringing a central campfire, a crafting Workshop, a fruit-hungry bear NPC, six exclusive crops, and a Mythical event egg. Whether you are farming for the Divine Campfire Clover or chasing the ultra-rare Fire Wisp pet, understanding how each system feeds into the next is the fastest path to the best rewards.
How the Campfire Tiers Work
The Campfire sits at the center of the event area. Every fruit you submit to it converts into Ember, a shared pool that advances the fire through five tiers. As the Ember total climbs, the fire grows stronger and grants a stacking Crafting Speed Bonus inside the Workshop:
| Tier | Ember Required | Crafting Speed Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 300 | +100% |
| 2 | 2,000 | +200% |
| 3 | 8,500 | +300% |
| 4 | 12,600 | +400% |
| 5 (Super Fire) | 20,700 | +500% |
The entire server shares one fire, so coordinating with other players significantly speeds up tier progression. Once you reach the Super Fire at Tier 5, Workshop recipes craft in a fraction of the base time.
The Campfire Workshop
Interact with the Crafting Bench near the campfire to open the Workshop. It holds around 14 or more recipes across all five tiers, and the higher the current fire tier, the faster every recipe completes. Lower tiers unlock foundational items; higher tiers gate the most valuable ones:
- Tier 1: Firepit Flower Seed, Cauliflower Seed
- Tier 2: Campfire Crate
- Tier 3: Super Watering Can, Areaclaimer
- Tier 4: Hearth Reed Seed, Prickly Pear Seed, Rare Summer Egg
- Tier 5: Campfire Egg, Paradise Egg
A few confirmed recipe costs give a sense of the economy: the Firepit Flower Seed costs 2x Daffodil Seed, 1x Uncommon Egg, 1x Advanced Sprinkler, and 100,000 Sheckles. The Super Watering Can runs 15x Watering Can, 1x Master Sprinkler, and 150,000 Sheckles. The Campfire Egg is the biggest ask at 1x Rare Egg, 1x Mango Seed, and 1,000,000,000 Sheckles. Additional recipe costs and exact tier slot counts are still being confirmed by the community — check the official Fandom wiki for the most current numbers.
Feeding Bearnaby for Campfire Seed Packs
Bearnaby is the bear NPC standing at the campfire. He will accept plants only if they match three simultaneous conditions: a specific trait, a specific mutation, and a minimum weight threshold. The required trait rotates roughly every hour, so check what he is asking before you harvest.
Each qualifying plant you submit counts as one of 50 submissions toward his progress bar. Every single submission — not just the final one — rewards you with one Campfire Seed Pack. Complete all 50 submissions and you also earn one Exotic Campfire Seed Pack as a bonus prize.
The six crops inside a standard Campfire Seed Pack and their approximate drop rates are:
- Bear Claw Flower (Uncommon) — ~40%
- Venus Beartrap (Rare) — ~25%
- Flame Berry (Legendary) — ~20%
- Smore Suckle (Mythical) — ~10%
- Campfire Clover (Divine) — ~4.5%
- Mallow Melt (Prismatic) — ~0.5%
The Campfire Clover is the standout: a Divine-rarity multi-harvest crop available exclusively through these packs during the event. Multi-harvest means it continues producing after each maturity cycle, which makes it one of the most efficient long-term crops in the game. At roughly 1-in-22 odds per pack, it is rare but not unobtainable with consistent Bearnaby submissions.
The Campfire Egg and Its Pets
The Campfire Egg is a Mythical-tier event egg introduced on June 6. Place it in your garden and it hatches in approximately 4 hours. It can also be crafted in the Tier 5 Workshop if you prefer that route. The four pets inside and their approximate hatch rates are:
- Cicada (~55%) — "Summer Buzz": lands on a nearby plant and accelerates its growth.
- Newt (~35%) — "Renewtal" + "Summer Harvester": chance to duplicate harvested plants, with a higher chance on summer-type plants.
- Nightjar (~9–9.5%) — "Call of the Night": consumes Moonlit-mutation fruit to gain XP and passive boosts, with a larger bonus if the fruit is also Bloodlit.
- Fire Wisp (~0.5%) — "Heart of Fire" + "Fireheart": applies the Ember variant to a random plant and can apply the Ember pet mutation to a random level-100 pet (resetting that pet to level 0).
Fire Wisp is the rarest pet in the egg and the most powerful for campfire-adjacent builds, but the tradeoff for its Fireheart ability — resetting a level-100 pet — means you should think carefully before triggering it. Exact hatch rates vary slightly across community sources; treat the numbers above as close approximations and verify against the wiki for precise figures.
The Summer Camp event is time-limited, so prioritize Bearnaby submissions early to stack Seed Packs and work toward the Exotic pack bonus. Pushing the server campfire to Tier 5 together is the best way to get Workshop crafts done quickly before the event ends.
