Ice Cream

The game of camper trivia works like this- counselors start out asking if they can have the Camp Director help out with a little game they want to play.

Camp Director acts shocked and excited to be invited.

Counselors explain the rules- for every trivia question campers get correct, the Camp Director will get a prize!

Camp Director gets SUPER EXCITED and cheers! The counselors go on to explain that the prize is an ice cream sundae and Camp Director licks her lips shouting, "ice cream is my favorite!"

Camp Director is further excited when the trivia questions are super easy, like "what state are we in?"

When it comes time for the first prize, Camp Director is SHOCKED and her eyes bug out and she screams when ice cream is DUMPED ON HER HEAD!! She continues to FREAK OUT as chocolate sauce, whipped cream and sprinkles are also added.

The kids go WILD. WILD like you can't imagine. They have never seen anything funnier. Even the counselors watching are pretty amused. When the game is finished, campers take pictures and try to take swipes of chocolate off of the Camp Director's arms and they go on and on about how amazing it was and how shocking it must have been and how well the counselors pulled this off.

Camp Director continues to act amazed as she squishes to her house, fights off a puppy (who follows her into the shower, desperate for a few more licks of drippy sugary goodness) and shows up to dinner with a full head of chocolate sauce (which I stand behind as the best plan because it took 20 minutes and two washes to get out, and I didn't have enough time before dinner, so I simply dried the mess off of my body, changed clothes and left my head a sticky mess until I could deal with it in peace after dinner).

Campers don't realize that this whole thing was the Camp Director's idea, that the Camp Director drove the hour round trip to town to get all of the supplies and also suggested that they leave the ice cream out for a while so it would be extra drippy. Somehow those details make it all a little less fun, so Camp Director will continue to shake her head all week and agree when campers say, "those crazy counselors are hilarious!" Because they are, and making kids laugh is by far the best part of my job.
