A Canadian family's frantic search for their missing son ended somewhere they never saw coming. William Munro, 19, from London, Ontario, left home without a word and flew to Los Angeles for Clavicular's seven-day Camp Looksmax, spending about $7,000 without telling his parents. He now calls himself a "decent-looking guy" but wants a $40,000 surgery to change the shape of his face. A representative for Clavicular says the camp is not responsible for checking whether an adult "called mommy and daddy."

William Munro paid $7,000 for Clavicular's Camp Looksmax

William Munro spent $5,000 on his place at the camp and another $2,000 on flights, paying for it with money he says he earned from odd jobs. His parents only realized something was wrong when they noticed he was gone from the house.

They reached him by phone while he was waiting at the airport in Toronto. Munro gave them what he called a basic explanation of looksmaxxing, and told them he had won a giveaway from a YouTuber to attend. That was not true.

Looking back, he does not regret it. "It was a super radical decision. I just thought, I'm a young kid. Money comes and goes. So might as well get the experience out," Munro said.

William Munro wants a $40,000 surgery after the camp

Munro was one of 15 young men at the camp, which ran out of a mansion in Los Angeles and was streamed 24/7 on Clavicular's channel from October 1. He says it changed how he thinks about his looks.

He now wants to "put some more focus" on his "actual aesthetic face-wise," and has set his sights on surgery that would cost around $40,000.

He also says it changed how he talks to women. "You go see a hot chick. Go try to hit on her, like, it doesn't matter," Munro said. His friends back home, he added, "think it's real cool" that he went.

Clavicular's team says Munro is an adult

Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, built his following in the looksmaxxing world, where young men chase extreme ways to change their appearance. His first camp sold out in 72 hours, and a second one is being planned.

His representative, Mitchell P. Jackson, pushed back on the idea that the camp did anything wrong. "The student was a 19-year-old adult," Jackson said, adding that Munro "says he had a happy experience."

The camp went ahead while Clavicular faces charges in Massachusetts, including r*pe, over an incident from May 2025. He denies the charges, and none of them have been proven in court. Munro's parents have not spoken publicly about their son's trip.
