Friday Night: Opening Ceremony for London Color Wars, fires lit on the athletics field. Team cheer offs. Plus the typical Color Wars pranks overnight on Friday!
Saturday Morning: Color Wars kicked off with a new game invented by Stu and some of the Unit Leaders. It was a take on capture the flag- each team was given supplies to decorate a building of camp with their team color. Then, they had to get past other teams to take all of their decorations and move them to a different location, while simultaneously trying to stop the other teams for getting to their buildings. Does that make sense? If not, just trust me that everyone enjoyed it!
Saturday Afternoon: A few Olympic style races- canoeing and swimming. Then, thunderstorms rolled in and things were moved indoors. There were more Olympic events inside, such as shooting, rhythmic gymnastics and limbo (not Olympics, but still awesome!).
Saturday Night: Kind of a dance/paint party in the pavilion. Plus a traditional English meal for dinner: bangers and mash, AND fish and chips!
Sunday Morning: Lazy breakfast and chapel, led by the CITs. This was followed by a much needed all camp clean-up.
Sunday Afternoon/Night: Clever all camp activity prepared by the CITs- a version of "Apples to Apples", but using counselors as the playing cards. Dinner was unit cookouts and then the CITs led us in "Extreme Construction Craze".
A great weekend to say the least- thanks to all who planned these special events. Oh, almost forgot--- Deacon, our Nation Unit Leader, dressed as the Queen of England to kick things off. That explains the photo of him in the group picture posted to Sunday's photo gallery!
