How to Get More Acorns in Adopt Me |Summer Camp Event Week 1

On June 20, 2026, Adopt Me! officially launched its highly anticipated Summer Camp Event. Running for a full month until July 20, the event introduces a brand-new exclusive currency—Acorns—replacing the previous Compass Coins. If you want to get a head start during the first week, this guide breaks down all the ways to earn Acorns and the best strategies for doing so.

Event Overview

The Summer Camp Event 2026 is a major, limited-time event themed around summer camping. It introduces a variety of new activities, such as Fishing, Skydiving, and Water Balloon Fights. Five new pets debuted in the first week alone, including two Legendary pets: the Solaris Dragon and the Aestus Dragon. To enhance the fun and exclusivity of the event, a special currency—Acorns—has been introduced, which is the focus of this article.

Primary Uses of Acorns

Acorns are the event's exclusive currency. With the exception of pets purchased via Robux, all event-exclusive items must be bought using Acorns:

• Event Pets: such as Clubtail Dragonfly (13,000 Acorns), Rainbow Trout (70,000 Acorns + 1 Rainbow Karp)
• Bait: Karp Bait (500 Acorns)
• Toys, pet accessories, and furniture

Note: Acorns cannot be used to redeem the two pets exclusive to the fishing system; those are unlocked solely through fishing progress. Therefore, planning your Acorn spending wisely is crucial.

Key Items in the Event Shop

Core Principle: Prioritize purchasing limited-time pets; save toys and furniture for last. Acorns carry over from week to week, but once limited-time pets are removed from the shop, they do not return.

Earn Acorns During Week 1

Fulfilling Pet Needs

You earn 200 Acorns for every pet need fulfilled; bringing multiple pets along allows you to complete more needs.

Skydiving

Jump from the airship and fly through all the glowing rings to earn 2,000 Acorns. Hitting the exact center of the bullseye grants an additional 1,000 Acorns. This is currently the single most lucrative active way to earn Acorns.

Water Balloon Fight

Head to the Water Fight area located between the Vehicle Dealership and the Campsite. Hit other players with water balloons to earn Acorns—you can collect up to 250 Acorns per day this way.
