One camp tradition that ranks among my favorites is color war. A time-honored and universal tradition, color war just says ‘camp!’ It’s a great way to end the summer on a high note, and provides campers with the opportunity to use the skills they’ve learned or honed over the preceding weeks. I am reminded how far campers can come by one in particular, who was afraid of the water at the beginning of the summer. By the time color war came around, she jumped into the pool and completed the challenge with a huge smile on her face. We’ve started a fun, new tradition called ‘Sundaes on Mondays.’ We kick off the week with build-your-own ice cream sundaes, which kids love to create as much as eat!
