Minute To Win It

Hello all! Summerscape RA Elizabeth here. It's been a busy and fun-filled couple days over here at Wallace Hall, with our most recent event being the Summerscape edition of Minute To Win It. This was a new event that we introduced this year, but judging from the kids' reactions last night we're sure it'll be a tradition that will continue for future sessions!

For the days leading up to the event, the RAs were hard at work planning and picking events for Minute To Win It, making last-minute Walmart runs for supplies (you get some weird looks buying tons of bulk packs of yo-yos, tissue boxes, cookies, ping-pong balls...), trying out the events... All of the RAs will admit that we mainly chose events based on the entertainment value of watching the kids do them. But judging from this preview movie we made, the RAs had fun trying out the events, too -

But trust us, the kids definitely had even more fun than we did. Our personal favorite event was "Bobblehead," in which players had 60 seconds to reach 75 steps on a pedometer attached to their heads. We had such a hard time keeping quiet during our late-night duty because we decided to watch some of these clips in the hall. Dare you to watch this next clip without laughing...

The night also included each activity group showing off their group chants and a camp-wide Rock, Paper, Scissors battle. More posts to come about the Messy Olympics we had on Monday and the service project we'll be doing tonight!
