camp.

RiverClan is, like ThunderClan, located in the heart of the forest. Their camp is not dry and barren in any sense; however. They are located right near the riverbanks, hence the name. On a well-drained island, there sits the reed-encircled space. To get inside, one must slip underneath the low-hanging willows and trudge though the wet soil that holds the reeds together. The central clearing comes into view and the first things seen are sun bathing elders and queens sharing tongues. Generally the most peaceful of all Clan camps. A tangle of reeds to the left indicates the warriors’ den. The roof of which has feathers woven into it. Along the walls, shiny stones and shells from the river sit. The den seems to shiver; especially at dawn. Located right next to the warriors are the queens and their kits. This den, too, is decorated quite nicely for the youngsters entertainment. The river extends across the nursery’s entrance, but the water is shallow and there is very little current. Safe for kits to practice swimming. Across the clearing is the medicine cat’s den. With herbs stored safely in small caves of earth, it’s less of a mess when unwanted paws trample through. On the other side of the island, a couple rocks jut out of the river when it’s not too high. Perfect for basking, but the senior warriors and elders get priority. Apprentices sleep in a cleared space under the trees with plenty of shade. In the cooler moons, they sleep in makeshift dens underground which are highly uncomfortable and tight-fitting. The leader calls announcements from the Fallen Willow. Beside which, she has a den in a hollowed log.
