Today started out as carnival morning. That alone was enough for the camp to begin buzzing. But soon after lineup started, it became obvious that this wasn’t just any carnival day. A fire appeared to break out as the Upper Seniors attempted to convince the entire camp that Olympics had broken. Campers and staff alike were concerned…until a clown troop showed up to put out the fire. Following some comical antics on the ground, a frantic “woman” appeared on the roof of the Dining Room asking for help for her “baby.” The clown troop was happy to oblige and, keystone style, held a blanket to safely catch the infant. It took a bit of convincing, but the woman finally dropped her baby, a toy pig. After the “baby” was safely caught, the Olympic banner fell, backups (a couple dozen more clowns) arrived on a fire truck and it rained silly string for several minutes.
After the excitement of the moment died down enough for David to end the suspense, this year’s teams and officers were formally
introduced. Leading Planet Blue are Generals Heath S. and Amanda F. The White Controllers will be led by Generals Kyle H. and Meredith P. Sing Leaders Banner W. and Dana R. are sure to put a creative spin on the earth theme of Planet Blue while White Sing Leaders Matthew P. and Katie. B. will almost certainly place lots of techno references to the White Controllers’ video game theme in their Sing tunes. With such contrasting themes and so many possibilities for each them, this year’s Sing competition is bound to be as amazing as always! Other Leaders of Blue Planet include Lieutenants Kurt P., Adam F., David W., Alex B., Elliott O., Tana M., Chloe N., Hannah P., Debbie K., and Karina G. White Controllers Lieutenants are Michael F., Robert W., Scott V., Alex G., Miles K., Emily S., Rachel S., Hayley M., Jamie L., and Renny M. Good luck to Blue and White in what is sure to be some great competition over the next several days!
