• Only at camp

   One of the things I enjoy about a typical day at camp is that so many odd and funny things can happen.  For instance, I'm at the salad bar and two campers come up to me and perform a song they have written about croutons.  No, it's a real song and it has a point.  Then I sit at a table with campers who have a pair of magical sun glasses (it did many very cool things).  Walking through the quad at Clubs there's a group playing the strangest version of Ultimate I'd ever seen and it had everyone assuming different names and laughing hysterically.  As I'm walking back later, by this same group of campers and counselors, I suddenly find myself at the head of a conga line, with the hysterical laughter continuing of course.  Then Dave Heath, who is walking along the path to Van Winkle, suddenly breaks into this "new walk" that is hard to describe but involves floppy arm movements and shorter steps and it looks very funny but isn't very practical.  And now as I'm finishing up my day and heading off to the dorm for some sleep and thinking, "All of this could only happen at camp," I see Global Rover signs all over the place.  What could this mean?  I can only guess, but I'm sure it's some other new, crazy, odd camp-type-thing.  And I'm more excited than ever to see what surprises are in store for me tomorrow.
