kids climb on counselor

Literally.

For Hemlock and Sacky last evening, it was time for Challenge Night. As usual there were a number of fairly crazy events. And some stand-bys, such as the annual "Frost Valley History Quiz," with one lifeline. One question: there are 3 (actually there are 5) buildings in which people live, eat or do activities here that do NOT bear the name of a person (a donor usually). Can you name one of them? See below in italics for your answer(s).

Two teams were to win prizes (one a home-cooked dinner served to you in the Castle dining room) and there was a lot of energy in the air.

One event: a counselor (Nathan) volunteered to be the stationary strongman. One small, agile, quick camper from each team was to climb up and over Nathan and down the other side of him. A contestant in this was so good at it that we asked him to do it a second time and I captured this short video.

Buildings not given the name of a person: Biscuit Creek Lodge, Pigeon Brook Lodge, Friendship House, Lakeview Lodge, Arts & Crafts.
