- Reading
- Consider checking in around the missing-camper and zombie-survival scenes, then leave space to discuss the camp’s claims separately from its horror plot. The story combines survival peril with humour and satire.
- Themes
- Body image and the camp’s cure: Vivian is sent to a weight-loss camp, where she and other campers reject the claim that they need to be cured. The camp’s supposed miracle cure is presented as dubious. The contrast between the campers’ self-understanding and the camp’s premise makes body image part of the story’s conflict.
- Horror, humour and satire: A zombie outbreak and blizzard turn the camp setting into a survival thriller, presented as a blend of horror, humour and satire. The contrasting genres frame the plot as both frightening and comic, while satire is part of how the camp’s premise is presented.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes a camper going missing, frightening non-human figures, a zombie attack and an explicit expectation that not all campers survive. Its horror and survival peril may feel intense.
