Mid-Morning of the Paintbrush Rebellion

Our first BIG event of the Color Wars was upon us right after breakfast, it was L.G. Cook 4-H Camp's very own one-of-a-kind patented capture the flag extravaganza...BATTLE FOR THE ISLAND!



The teams gather...

In our Lakeside Amphitheater...

And anxiously wait to hear the current standings...


To find out where the teams are ranked once the  pre-breakfast scores are counted.

Oh no! Orange is in fourth place!

But that means Orange gets a leg up for Battle for the Island by spinning the WHEEL OF PRIZES!

Go get em, Orange team!

You've got flags of brand new colors to capture.

And the battle begins!


The Maroon team plans its defense.

And heads off in search of flags.


The Violet team is engaged in an exciting tag!
An Orange/Maroon stare down.


Despite a valiant effort...



Navy ends the 1st round in 4th place. But don't worry, that just means they get to...

Spin The Wheel of Prizes!



Where they won Woodrow as a team member!

He was even clad...

In an adorable Navy bandanna.

Round #2 saw some twists...

As each team could paint...

And install...

Their own safe zones...

All over Camp.


And then the teams were off like a flash...



To capture...

And defend...

Some flags...

Yet again.

Maroon team implements it's secret offensive strategy!
On to the final round!

The slow motion round!

Where the rules are the same...

But everyone must move...

Very...
Very...



Sllooooooooooowwwwwwllllyyyy...



Slow motion flag grabs...

Slow motion defensive maneuvers...
Slow motion tags...


And sweet slow motion dives and rolls.

The slow motion was so nice and slow, we slowly realized...



Our Color Wars day was still just beginning because we hadn't even made it to lunch yet!
