Ok my cabin mate and I played "games" on are campers.

[code3cadet]

So is there any "games" that you paly on your campers. i bet you are thinking what dose code3cadet mean by "games" well like at night we would yell out "thing" to see if the camper would wake up. the first staff would say it quit and then it would get louder and louder. or in line to see if are camp director would get it.

[camper]

when we come back from our nights out we go into the bunk and say, "what do you want for options?" b/c that's what the counselor in charge of taking options says during the day. it's like a tradition, all of the campers know that we do it and they love to hear what they said in the morning. it becomes something that's passed down from year to year as campers become counselors, and it's really funny!

[code3cadet]

that is funny.

[code3cadet]

NO one have any "games" they paly on there campes :(

[Dave]

I'm sure I have some, I just can't think of them right now. :)

[speedx5xracer]

we do there is another thread called jokes.... u should search the site before starting a new thread

[code3cadet]

This is not a joke. This is a game.

[KiwiCRB]

Not a jake???? No i know what you meant but maybe you should edit what your little voice recognition thing inputs before you submit.... seriously.... you would sound a lot more intelligent. That was not intended to be mean.

[camper]

haha i don't blame him for trying to get something cool like that to work...but i do agree that it's getting a little hard to read, haha. also not intended to be mean. this could probably go in the joke thread...but on the other hand i see how it's different than a joke...i don't see the "what do you want for options" thing that we do as a practical joke, it IS more like a game.

ya i need to read what I put on the post. i just have ten thing that I am doing at a time and it is not alway on the post. I was talking about one of my friends named jake when I was tipping this.

[Dave]

Okay guys let's just let this go.

[code3cadet]

[Dave]

This thread? Yeah, it's still open. I'm just saying to stop arguing.

Not from me; but from the Boys LIT Director this season - a constant theme that ran for the summer was finding new ways to get them out of bed each morning!

There was one particular day where they managed to sneak in a 3v3 Basketball game (including hoops) and airhorns for the subs.

Others involved our musicians playing as majorettes for the morning, marching all around camp.

Rubber chickens that clucked.

Leaving a CD playing on loop with the "Most Annoying Sound in the World" (Jim Carey) playing constantly until they could find the CD player.

Infact there were a few interesting samples they put on the CD to play to the boys. I believe the sound of a road construction team was played to them too !

Very often the boys got to breakfast on time!!!

[code3cadet]

Y I bet they did

[camper]

haha right before color war my friend who was a couple of bunks down from me had a hard time getting her kids out of bed, they were 11 years old, too big to just say "get up!" and still too young to do something really harsh like pull their blankets off. so my friend and her co, right after reveille, got whistles and started blowing them. the rest of the camp got up and ran out onto their porches b/c they thought color war was breaking, but it worked to get that bunk up!

ha ha ha :D

I used to do that when I was a counselor! This brings me back to the good old days.:)

This, not so much staff vs campers, but staff vs staff.

So it was Orientation week, and the rest of the staff on Boys camp and Girls camp were meant to join us over the in the Senior Village where our Head Counselor was going to guide through a section of the staff handbook on general rules in the cabins / health and safety.

This meant, that we, being the Senior Village (SV), were already at the location of this meeting, a sundeck, having had our morning line up there.

Imagine the scene, sundeck - basically a parting in the trees, and rows of bench things in the style of half tree trunks, the Lodge and the lake in the background, and the flag pole in the foreground - the SV-HC would stand in front of the flagpole and deliver his speech - to the rear the front line of cabins, and the SV Notice Board.

With the Main Camp deciding to make us wait, we decided to see if they'd be totally foolable.

So, bit of history, normally at our lineups we'd have the sports results (no other part of camp delivers that to staff in their lineup), the Ent's news, and the weather - normally in the form Visibility, Wind, UV, and Temperature.

We decided that today, we'd face the noticeboard - the SV-HC would still be at his usual place, we just wouldn't be facing him - that would look strange enough.
We then decided on a code-phrase, it happened to be "I wish I had a toboggan" - on which, we'd turn a right angle to the left, and cross our legs - compliance test anybody ?

So (eventually) the rest of the staff saunter across from main camp, obviously in awe at the shear beauty of our location, and you can hear murmers amongst them "pssst, why are they facing the wrong way", "dunno, probably been told to sit that way, better join um". A little puzzled they were, but bless um, they joined us.

"GOOD MORNING ECHO LAKE STAFF" (from behind us),
"GOOD MORNING JP" (shouted back).
"Before we get on to this mornings riveting session, and because I hadn't had time to finish our lineup (we had), I'm going to give you today's weather forecast. Visibility, 15 miles, no problems on the Lake and no excuses for drop catches on the baseball diamonds, Winds; north-easterly 2 mph - great for boating on the lake, UV index is high at an 8, so plenty of sunscreen, temperatures at 91 degrees, so I wish I had a toboggan."

*swish*
Senior village staff got their cue, turned to their left, and cross their legs.
"What the....."? - a few giggles from Boys and Girls camp, but we kept our poker faces. At this point some of them followed suit with the turn but not legs, a few kept facing towards the back of the sundeck.

"Okey, so now the latest on CrazyWatch, and for those of you from across the road there, CrazyWatch is our going to be our summer long tracker of the gossip relating to Tom and Kate (later in the season this was to become TomKat). Apparently they've been attending a movie premiere in London this week......"

The next thing we hear, "Jacko to JP" - (our SV Prog. Director over the walkie, he's standing about 2 rows back in the bunk line), "Yeah", - us knowing that this was JPs walkie, we stopped, looked at him, and he turned away - what he was doing was turning up his walkie a little, and after what seemed to be indistinguishable murmuring for a while you suddenly hear quite faintly "...wish I had toboggon..." over Jacko's walkie (obviously up on full volume).

*swish* another turn to the left, we're obviously now facing front, legs unfolded, and once again the rest of camp left totally dumbfounded by whats just happened. Sure enough though they comply, turn to the front, some of the doing a full 180 degree spin from back facing to front facing, and they get a round of applause, while they and their HCs are left shaking their heads saying "something mad going on in Village".

:p

that is good i like it when you can do that to other staff :D
