The Spy-Jinks Conclude!

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.
