The Code

On Monday morning, we hung this enormous sign in the dining hall. Each symbol represents a letter and we planned to give two clues each day. On Monday, we hung the first symbol (the triangle with other lines) on a Tree and the fifth symbol (the 3 waves) on Indian Point Lodge. On Tuesday, for lunch, we served the Cookies pictured below and the last symbol (the five stars) was hanging on a Skychair. 

At dinner, 'A' wore a Hat with the second symbol on it.

The kids cracked the code and figured out that it spelled out 'The Five Cs" which are our set of values at camp.

So tomorrow, the girls cabin that solved it will be served lunch on the deck of the dining hall, so that will be exciting for them.

I was happy the code lasted as long as it did because Counselor M figured it out on Sunday without any clues at all. She is going to be an engineer, so she's good at puzzles and clearly much more advanced than the campers, but I was still nervous it would be too easy. Luckily it worked out well!
