Special Activities

 The special activities class had the objective to come up with two fun activities for the whole camp on two separate days. The first thing that the class came up with was to have a water slide. When we first started this adventure, we tried going down the 100-foot black tarp with only water going down it. The problem that we ran into was that the tarp was not slippery enough. We then started to add dish soap. Wow, did that make us go! Although then a problem arose, and people started getting soap in their eyes. After going down quite a few times the slide was just right. The only other problem that we had was there were rocks under the tarp that gave some of us scrapes. We had so much fun doing this that we were not sure if we were going to go swimming, but after many scrapes and bruises we decided that we wanted to cool off another way so we ended up going swimming.  

The second event that we did was absolutely, grotesquely, and horridly disgusting. That is honestly the best way I can describe that event. It was a six in one event called ‘Red, White, and Puke.’ The first thing that took place was an ice cream eating contest. This wasn’t your normal ice cream contest though; the toppings were ketchup and jalapeños. Stephanie was the winner of this event. The next event was an egg toss, with two eggs at the same time. This event was a tie between two teams (Andrew F. and Alton, Cindy and Jamie) because we ran out of eggs. The third event dealt with vinegar and baking soda. The object of this event was to hold a spoon of baking soda and a swig of vinegar in your mouth without spitting it out; this was very hard. Andrea won that competition despite Jordan cracking up and spitting in her face. The fourth event was shaving a balloon without popping it. It seemed difficult until the girls realized that with the razors given it was nearly impossible to pop the balloons. I guess years of shaving legs paid off because Stephanie won this event. The fifth event was a napkin-eating contest, which Steven Glaser won. The last event was gravy spoon bobbing. This was the nastiest thing that anyone could ever think. You first had to bob for a spoon in gravy and then had to eat a bowl of vanilla pudding mixed with corn, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, and cereal. Paul even described it as what he had seen when they changed diapers. Brian Twombly conquered all opponents and finished the nasty concoction. Perhaps it was Josie’s bib that gave him the super human gag reflexes to keep it down. This class was a blast and I would do it all over again if I could.
