* ActionGirl: All of the girls, really. It IS a camp for Hardcore Lady Types.
* AttackPatternAlpha: When fighting the magic wolves, the girls decide to do the “Little Red Formation”, with the battle cry “To grandmother’s house we go!” Subverted, because Mal quickly calls them out on not actually following the plan.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Molly is blonde, April is a redhead, and Mal, Jo, and Ripley are all brunettes.
* BloodlessCarnage: When the magic foxes are defeated, they poof into dust.
* BraidsOfAction: Molly wears her hair in a single braid.
* BuffySpeak: And a lot of it.
* CloudCuckooLander: Ripley, but also camp director Rosie.
* CollectiveGroan: When Jen decides to take the girls to see Rosie for punishment for sneaking out at night.
* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: Subverted; when Mal drowns, the girls have no idea what to do to save her, and Molly gives up after a minute of mouth-to-mouth. Ripley just gets a running start and kicks her in the stomach, forcing her to eject all the water.
* CrazyPrepared: April writes down the foxes' prophecy after hearing it, to the bewilderment of the other girls.
* DangerousWorkplace: When the girls get caught up fighting a river monster, their camp counselor, Jen, acts more like it’s a hassle to have to call in the CIA and a SWAT team more than anything out of the ordinary.
* DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat: In the very first scene, when Mal and Molly find April in the woods.
* ExtraEyes: The foxes in the first issue, and the river monster and eagle in the second, all have three eyes. When defeated, the eyes seemingly turn into gold coins that Jo collects.
* FaceYourFears: A minor version when Mal confronts her fear of the river to go canoeing with the other girls.
* FantasticFoxes: Of the supernatural variety. They have three eyes, and collapse into dust when defeated.
* FeministFantasy
* FieryRedhead: April and Rosie.



* ImprovisedWeapon: Lots. Notable is April using a hair scrunchie to slingshot into a river monster’s eye.
* IncrediblyLamePun: April wins her Pungeon Master badge in the second issue for making one of these.
* MeritBadgesForEverything: In the first issue the girls earn the Up All Night badge, for y’know, staying up all night. In the second, April earns the Pungeon Master badge for a wonderfully groan-worthy pun.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: the magic foxes in the first issue, the river monster in the second.



* OverlyLongName: Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types



* PowerCrystal: The weird glowing crystal in Rosie’s bathroom looks a lot like the weird glowing crystals in the secret cave the girls later discover.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Camp leader Rosie. She doesn't punish the girls for sneaking out, and warns them that they're going to encounter even more weird stuff before the summer's over.
