Tuesday the 13th dawned warm, with clear blue skies and the smell of Messy Olympics on the air. The activity groups competed in a series of ooey, gooey, sticky, slimy, smelly, wet, and gross challenges that pushed their teamwork and dedication to the limits. Most of these were timed relay events, requiring speed and agility.
Events included:
Stick 'n' Slide
Shoe of Goo
Is that a Hose in Your Pants?
Pie the RC
Fireman's Pass
Spew the Blue
and the perennial favorite, Ben Waters is Lost in Time!
Another Summerscape tradition followed the Messy Olympics--required showers! Everyone smelled nice and clean and faintly of syrup before bedtime.
Wednesday, the 14th the camp was reminded with a rousing cheer by DLA that it was Bastille Day. A lot of the classes are picking up steam and the campers are getting involved in excursions into storm drains, traipsing through the woods, building models of the human heart, constructing marble works contraptions, and improvising great music. For the evening activity, we all headed over to the basement of the Student Center for a Rec Room night. There were old-school games such as Bingo, Pictionary, and puzzles, but the most exciting part of the evening was a Mario tournament on an original Nintendo set. Everyone met on Sunderland Field for a quick game of "Giants, Wizards, Elves," a full-body version of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
