And now, for the THRILLING Conclusion of Spy Week 2016:
|
Oh no. |
|
Even more areas of Camp have been contaminated... |
|
Infected... |
|
And quarantined! |
|
Even our prized possession, The Dining Hall, is off-limits! |
|
We were forced to meet on the corner of the flagstones... |
|
Until even THAT area became contaminated with anti-Camp-Spirit! |
|
Oh no! That's all of Camp Central! |
|
Thusly, we had to flee down to our last refuge, the shade at the edge of the bowl... |
|
Where our Double Agent Counselors were finally revealed! |
|
No! Not you three! We trusted you! |
|
But our Double Agent Counselors revealed there might be Double Agents among our campers as well! (*Gasp!*) |
|
That left only one last ditch activity to pull out to try to save the infected locations on Camp, and our Camp week itself! |
|
It was time for Protocol 1-9-5-1. |
|
The Camp Spirit Test. |
|
A series of tests... |
|
Challenges... |
|
Tasks... |
|
And puzzles... |
|
To fuel our Camp spirit... |
|
And prove our love for 4-H Camp! |
|
Yup. It's a handful. |
|
What's the final step of this station in the Spirit Test? |
|
If you've been paying attention to this blog... |
|
You knew what was about to happen next. |
|
Each successful challenge was checked off on each camper's handy-dandy-Spirit-Card. |
|
Friendship Bracelets were made... |
|
To help win back our quarantined locations! |
|
I.D. Thumbprints were placed... |
|
Underneath picnic tables with care. |
|
Speed was tested... |
|
In a wet way... |
|
On a hot day. |
|
Art appeared on the walls of the White House Bathroom! |
|
Convenient, easy to remove wall art. |
|
Who could steal a flag from these two? |
|
Pretty much everyone. |
|
Beneath the bridge... |
|
There was target practice. |
|
And across the bridge... |
|
There were waterfront challenges! |
|
Challenges! That sound serious. (Even if this guy was dressed as a taco.) |
|
Don't worry. They were fun challenges. |
|
Like down-the-slide... |
|
Find-the-splash-ball... |
|
Save-the-flamingos-outside-the-swim-lines-challenges! |
|
And, |
|
In the end... |
|
We answered... |
|
The age-old... |
|
Question... |
|
Of... |
|
Who's... |
|
Got... |
|
Camp Spirit!? |
|
Turns out. |
|
It was all of us. |
|
Yup. |
|
We all... |
|
Had more than enough Camp Spirit... |
|
To pass the test with flying Camp colors. |
|
(Counselors too.) |
|
And it even seemed we got enough Friendship Bracelets to save our Off-Limits locations! |
|
But we needed to test the areas and discover if they were indeed safe! |
|
So we raised up... |
|
Our completed Spirit cards... |
|
And sent out our counselors... |
|
To test our beloved locations! |
|
Founder's Rock is hospitable again! |
|
The three trees are lovely!
|
|
And the mood at the Dining Hall is terrific!
|
|
We can even get firewood from the Wood Shed again! |
|
Tear down those barriers! |
|
Take off the tape! |
|
Remove the signs! |
|
Camp is safe, happy, and positive once more! |
|
We can all finally sit and enjoy the view from Lakeside again as we prepare for the end of the week. |
|
Plus, having some sweet Camp Spirit Card souvenirs... |
|
...doesn't hurt either. |
