all-camp program: Battle of the Themes Day

Session 3's all-day all-camp program. Today. Well, imagine Olympics pressed into a single day, where the teams are not countries to thematically broad popular movies. So one team is Star Wars, another is Harry Potter, and so on. It's easy to see how the head coach (or "producer") could get somewhere with this idea: costumes are a cinch, music and cheers/chants readymade, lots of familiarity among the campers. Instant all-camp program! That's not to say it won't take tons of energy, but...well...here we go!

Last year the winner was the Pirates (more specifically Pirates of the Caribbean) and so this year's host team are the Pirates. This morning before 8 I ran into three growling pirates on my way to breakfast and snapped this photo of them. One of them, Shelle Edge, at right, is the assistant program director running today's event. Good luck to her!
