At the beginning of our two-weeker campfire (a big deal), our program director was paddling the canoe that my camp director was carrying a torch in. Well, see, my p.d. and I had made the torch on an old tiki torch. Bad idea. Big heavy kerosene soaked towel on the end of a brittle old thing. Right. So they steer up to the dock, and as the camp director goes to get out of the canoe, the torch breaks and falls into the water. I freak, thinking it fell in the canoe for a second, but all I hear is laughing. It was most ridiculous. Ha ha ha I'm totally laughing thinking about it.
Oh we also had these little plastic chairs outside our office for our smaller campers (they were among plastic adirondacks). One Friday, one of our unit leaders was sitting in one when she was attacked by an assistant u.l. The chair completely broke under them and they rolled in the mud. Ridiculous.
