Yesterday we blew out eggs and then filled them with paint. When the counselors announced their cabins, they got to break the eggs to determine what color their team would be. And today, the challenge began.
The first challenge today went like this-
Cabins had to choose 2 campers to compete in each of the following challenges. The entire cabin had to travel as a group from challenge to challenge. Once a challenge was completed, the whole cabin could move on. The cabin to complete the course fastest would earn 100 points, second place= 75 points, third place= 50 points and for completing the challenge, the last team would earn 25 points.
· 1. Mud Pit- 2 campers must dig through the mud to find two puzzle pieces
2. Boating Bay- two campers will canoe through the boating bay to retrieve two puzzle pieces floating in the boating bay
3. Volleyball Court- 2 campers must dig through the sand to find two puzzle pieces
4. Swim Beach- 2 campers must swim out to the floating dock to retrieve two puzzle pieces (only one camper per cabin can swim at a time)
5. Knots- Two campers will untie a string of knots to release two puzzle pieces (this leg of the race will be located at the friendship circle)
6. PUZZLE- One camper will assemble the puzzle while blindfolded. The second camper will be able to see and yell instructions at the blindfolded camper. No other campers are allowed to help! This leg of the race will be located at the field.
All of the cabins ended up at the puzzle (which was actually really difficult). The green team had been in last place the entire time, so when they finished the puzzle second, it was a genuinely exciting comeback. I found myself lost in the magic of the moment and jumped in the air with excitement when they won. I think it is going to be an intense week!
