Session #1: 4th of July CARNIVAL!




You've read the theme!

You know the drill!



It's 4th of July...

Carnival Week...

At 4-H Camp...

Which means...


We're obligated...

To host...

A 4th of July Carnival!

And like anything else we do here...

Our carnivals run...

On our creativity...

Our energy...

And on...

Stuff we just happen...

To have...

Lying around.

Hence:

Slide Ball!


Yes,


Waste not, want not...

And an old waterfront slide saved...



Is an...

An old waterfront slide earned...

So we repurposed ours...

Into our very own...

4-H Camp...

Skeeball Machine.

"Don't stay inside, y'all!

Play some Slideball!"

(Carnival barking is, of course,


Also a crucial component.)



But there was more...

Than shouting...

And Slideball!


Every cabin...


And every counselor...

Had their own booths...

To run...

So EVERYONE...




Also had to...


Run...

To visit them all...

And try our hands...

At each...

And every game...

Before...


The evening...

Was through.

There were...

Races!

There were...

Mazes!

Games of...

Chance!

Games of...

Skill!

There were...

Wild...

Characters...

And...

Wild...


Campers.

There were...

Feats...



Of guile!

There were...

Feats...

Of...

Accuracy!
There were...


Feats...

Of art!





Feats...

Of...


Daring!


Feats...
Of...




Snacks!

Feats...

Of...



Strength!

And of course...


There were...





Plenty...


And plenty...


Of...


Feats...


Of...
Laughter.




Really,

No shortage...

Of...






Feats...

Of...

Laughter...
At a...


Good ol'...
