Paint Wars

Certainly the most iconic of our Color Wars games is Paint Wars. Campers carry around cups of their team’s color paint and dump it on each other in games such as time trials, capture the flag, and free for all. Campers start the evening with a plain white shirt, but after paint wars, they are covered head to toe in red, blue, green, and orange.

Here is a look at each team’s activities today.

Explorers

We welcomed a new group of Explorers to our camp this afternoon. They made it just in time for some swimming and group games.
