Circle F Feud

Howdy Circle F Family,

We had our last day of activities today :(. We are going to miss all of our friends. Tonight's evening activity is a camp favorite: Circle F Feud. It is kind of like Family Feud but the questions are about camp and there are consequences for getting the answer wrong. Questions range from favorite food to favorite activity area. There were three rounds, campers vs. campers, campers vs. counselors, and counselors vs. counselors. The game ended with the boy counselors beating the girl counselors and giving the girls a pie to the face. You have to love camp.

I have to share a story with you that just happened to me. This story really captures how amazing Circle F can be. I spend a lot of time outdoors; it is my favorite thing to do. I have seen a full Moon rise many times and I was super excited to find out that I was leading the Wrangle 4 Girls, Wrangler 5 Girls and Wrangler 3 Boys on the hay ride and campfire tonight because I knew I would get to see the moon rise. During our s'mores and storytelling, we looked over and saw this magnificent moon rising in the East. Everyone dropped everything to go and look at the moon. However, and this is where it got kind of weird, there was a small object in the sky with the moon. The best way to describe it would be a star on fire. It was much bigger and brighter than a star, it pulsed like a star, but it was certainly not a star. Of course this led all of the campers (and staff) to start guessing as to what this phenomenon was. Just when I thought people would get bored with the fire ball and the discussion would change to something else, it disappeared. Whoa, I have never seen anything like it. The ball of fire just disappeared into thin air. Again the campers (and staff) starting guessing as to what it was. Just when I thought the campers were going to get bored again, it came back. This is truly the strangest thing I have ever seen. And it all happened at camp. The best part was that we got share this experience with each other. We did not run to the computer to see what it was, we did not turn on the TV, we only had each other to share this moment. No one else in camp even saw it. It was a unique moment just to that group at that time. Those campers will always remember the night when they saw the ufo/blimp/gas/satellite/star/planet/etc... That is the cool part about camp, all the unique moments that shape who we are and bring us together as people.

Just another reminder. Pick Up time for session 1 is from 9am-12pm on Saturday. Drop off for Session 2 is from 10am - 2pm on Sunday. For more information on pick up please see my previous post.

I can't believe that this is my second to last post for session 1. I will miss all of the parents, friends and families of our session 1 campers. Please check-in on this blog from time to time as I will continue to blog everyday of summer camp and throughout the year.

Fantastic Wishes,
Roger and the Gang
