Yes Smudge Olympics were a secert from campers and counselors-- AD staff like me kinda knew when it was coming-- the campers knew the AD staff knew so later on into the session the campers would keep bugging me and all I could say was that olympics will happen before camp ends. The breakoput was cool but the mask I was wearing for it -- I had a hard time breathing though it and I had a hell of a time seeing because I kept fogging up my glasses
ANyhow mail call-- letters should be done during rest hour and packages during dinner because parents use different methods ( Post office, Fed Ex, UPS) to get packages to camp. That way by dinner all the packages should be at camp and the waiter/waitress campers can deliver them to the kids and the staff can sing for theirs.
If they called out the names of the campers at my camp it would take too long-- 270 campers 1st session-- there would be days it would takes too long to do that.
counselor hunt or movie night
