I just finished this game on Shockwave and I loved it. It's the first of the series that I've actually finished, although I have gotten pretty far on number 2.
There are 75 levels, with the first 50 being the training levels. You have ten levels on each activity then the last 25 levels rotate between the activities much like in Carrie the Caregiver 2. Campers range in age from seven to 13 years old with various patience and reward levels. In this games there are also times when you can pair up campers. The first camper at a double station will request a partner. You earn 300 points for a perfect match and 50 points if you match them with Peter or Safi, who are now teenagers and counslers in training.
The activities are tye dye shirts, friendship bracelets, growing flowers, birdhouses, and smores.
There is also an endless camper mode, but I haven't tried that.
In addittion to fast shoes, the guitar, and chairs to keep waiting campers occupied, there are up to three bunnies to play with and critters to be caught to earn up to four extra hearts at a time for campers who need a boost.
This is a wonderful addition to the series and it's great to catch up with Carrie and her family. The blog entries are fun to read and there's a surprise ending.
I hope Shockwave puts out more in this fun time management series.
Carrie the Caregiver 3: Camp Funshine is now available at Big Fish Games as well as Shockwave. It will probably show up at other sites soon.

Karmyn, you make it sound very fun

Thanks for the review karmyn. For those that want to try it out, it is available Here.

How long did it take you to finish it? Is it all timed?

There's no timer. I played off and on for about three or four days so I'd say it was about four to five hours total. The last five levels are all double tables. The training levels don't have color matching for putting away the t-shirts, plants, or birdhouses, but you do have that in the last 25 levels. For the friendship bracelets you only have to pick up the sissor (sp?) once. Same with the water in the flower level and the torch in the smores levels. In the last 25 levels you can carry three things at once. Going to play the guitar will break a chain, but other actions such as getting the shoes or getting a critter for a heart won't. I reccomend finishing a chain then doing the guitar between chains. You have other ways of keeping the kids in line occupied if needed. The brown rabbit lasts the longest. Seven and ten year old boys are the most impatient. If you put a teen boy and girl together, they will kiss. It's one of the distractions you have to deal with along with confused kids, sleeping, talking, or fighting.

I love the details these games give these days. It sounds like it would be fun to play, I'll download the demo and give it a whirl.

Thanks karmyn!
