Session #3: CHAOS Choice

Y'see, we just wanted to have a nice, calm, orderly week at Camp.

In fact, it wasn't even supposed to be Chaos Week! It was supposed to be Library Week. A week devoted to shushing, alphabetizing, and quiet sitting. It was going to be wonderful. But due to a clerical error, last year's theme was re-scheduled (I don't know HOW that happened...) and Chaos Week was officially on the books again.

However! This year we as a Camp resolved to battle against the Chaos, and keep a calm, orderly, serene week where nothing wild at all happened. Library Week in spirit, if you will.

We started with Cabin Choice, where quiet sensible activities were everywhere.

(*Warning - A super sweet rainbow over Lake Shawanni WILL be featured later in this post. If you have an aversion to beautiful pictures of natural wonders, avert your eyes.) 

See!?

We started out calm and library-esque.

With fun in the craft shop.

Eh. I don't know if you're supposed to toss water balloons in any libraries I'm aware of.

Looks like enough fun we'll make an exception though.

Nice catch.

Tie-Dye! Ordered Chaos. We'll take it.

Smiling is always fine.

Quidittch? That game is fictional!

But there is a fiction section in the library, so we'll let it slide.

That face is bordering on Chaotic.

But the lake looks just as it should.

And parachute games are beyond acceptable.

  

Here's where it gets nuts! This rainbow was neither scheduled nor approved!

This rainbow was Chaos!

Well, they say you can't have a rainbow without the rain. Further proof of Chaos. It hadn't rained!

Chaos with a pretty good arc to it though.

All the cabins took a break from their chosen activities to enjoy the view.

And as the rainbow faded...

We were left with some pretty good clouds.

Then, surprisingly, all cabins were invited to attend some "Late Night Archery."

Sure! We'll go. Who doesn't love late night archery?

Uh-oh! This isn't Late Night Archery. This seems to be...

A hastily assembled library on the Archery Range.

Our librarians welcome the Camp...

Apologies to all librarians.

And that's when Chaos truly struck! 

A vehicle tore through our beautiful banner!

And out stepped the Chaos Management Expert, Dr. Husqavarna.

He announced that Camp had a Chaos Containment problem, as evidence in the supposed "library" right in front of them.

This was not a man reading a book! This was Chaos in disguise. 

A chicken costume disguise, to be accurate.

Husqavarna let us know that while we were distracted by a fake Library theme, the agents of Chaos had acted, our Group Animal Signs had been stolen, all sorts of various "Ch-ow-se" was afoot. We'd all have to work together to stop it.

Stay Tuned. I don't think we're done (or even really started) with the Chaos yet.
