Camp Jaie Reau and the Sugan Arid
By Justin J. Rhodes
The summer of 1982 was supposed to be ordinary.
But at Camp Jaie Reau, nothing ever stays in the light for long.
When eight-year-old Kairo “Kai” Venn arrives at camp, he only hopes to make a few friends, survive swim lessons, and maybe win the archery contest. Instead, he stumbles upon whispers rising from Lake Jaiera, shadows that twist sunlight into strange patterns, and the mysterious—Sugan Arid.
With his new friends—Kellan and Bella Rann, Tarena Park, Jessica Carter, and Eliza Greaves—Kai begins to uncover the camp’s hidden history. Their parents seem to know more than they’re saying. The groundskeeper’s family guards a secret near the old barn. And every trail seems to lead toward the same unsettling truth:
Camp Jaie Reau isn’t just a camp—it’s a boundary.
As laughter fades into questions and courage is tested under the stars, the group must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect one another... and what it truly means to face the shadows waiting beneath the surface.
Camp Jaie Reau and the Sugan Arid is the first adventure in a nostalgic, emotionally rich series about friendship, mystery, and the magic of a summer that never truly ends.
