Why are the junior counselors tying a camper to the flagpole? Maybe, just maybe, it's because he got out of his cabin the night before at about 2 AM and led said counselors/staff on a manhunt through the wet grass when they could've been in bed, or better, tossing around an ugly latex mask. So they sprayed his hair orange, tied him to the flagpole, got his mom to kiss him with and leave a bright pink lip print on his cheek, and dumped a cooler of water over him, while singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children". Welcome to Summit Lake Camp!
This was definitely not the only prank played this year. Last night, after the gigantic boys' pillow fight, we discovered that the boys of cabin 4 and the junior counselors had gone up on their roof and sprayed a little message to their counselor where everyone could see--using his own shaving cream. They also put his bed on the roof. This was done while he was away at the counselor's party. We the staff, patroling around the boys' cabins, found this hilarious, and so did their counselor. Here's a shot of the roof in the morning. It was much more dramatic at night with a spotlight on it and the bed on the roof!
One of the highlights of my morning at camp is doing the girls' cabin inspections. Sometimes they leave us or Blake (whom most of them believe to do the inspections) bribes. Blake's character this year was Willy Win (I'm so proud: I made up the name!), a guy running around in a toga, big glasses and an umbrella hat. (Our theme was the Olympics.) Check out some of the notes they left him!
Dear Willy (you sexy stud muffin), All of us in Cabin 12 love you, We love to sit and watch those crazy skits you do! You are awesome and deserve some hugs, Check our cabin, there are no bugs! Our bunks are very clean and neat, Please, stay a while and eat your treat! [They left him candy.] You are a cool and wonderful guy, And you alwasy remember to zip up your fly! Our cabin is clean from ceiling to floor, We really would love eating s'mores! [S'mores at a campfire was the prize for Cabin of the Day.] Everything is neat in here, even the shelves, Here is the final goodbye from Ghetto Cabin 12! I don't know if the counselor wrote that or what, but it's great. Here's another left with candy: W is for the wonderful ways your presence makes people smile I is for the way you are significantly imperior [sic] L is for your lovingly [sic] and caring ways L is for your super hott looks I is for your lovely eyes E is for your "easy-to-fall-for" body!

Kol-ya-ka; Viet-nam One-line movies game Passing food at the table Do you know the Muffin Man?
Who here remembers Victor Crowley? And the horror film? Well, chapter two is here! Because Liz survived last year, she had to die this year. So she and Sue (her twin) go off into the woods. One of them is killed and the other one is so traumatized no one can get out of her which twin she is. It turns out that it's Liz, who has taken on Sue as an alternate personality. The stress of taking care of Carol has finally made her crack. Blake actually didn't die in the first one; he only broke both legs so that everyone thought he was dead while he recovered for a year in the woods. Alaina/the female lifeguard goes off into the woods and thinks Crowley is after her. It turns out to be Blake, but he looks so wild from living in the mountains for a year, she mistakes him for Crowley and brains him with a rock, giving him a nasty concussion. So Blake lasts til next year. That's all we've got this year. So I never found out how I die! What're we in for next year? I know! "Summit Lake III: Bride of Crowley"!
