![]() Instead, Color War offers campers valuable lessons in teamwork, support, resilience, and friendship - and we stress that the competition never overshadows the sisterhood that exists throughout our camp community. This is not an ultra-competitive event, though some of our campers certainly love to compete in weekly athletics’ games, or the regatta or swim meets - and our traditional Sing is always a highlight of camp. During the first week of camp, campers will elect Color War captains and be split into two teams, the Brown Teddy Bears and Blue Elephants, or the Teddies and the Ellies for short. Each summer, Pinecliffe campers participate in a summer-long Color War. Throughout the summer, our campers have numerous opportunities to compete. Cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings.Competition At Camp Pinecliffe, we believe competition provides an avenue for growth - we learn to be better teammates and competitors, pushing ourselves while respecting our opponents. From psych speeches to song practice – this experience transforms us and Day 1 is in the books. ![]() So for now our camp is Red and Gold and the pride runs deep. It allows us to be a part of a team, to fight for a common goal, to reach our own personal best, to support our friends, to celebrate our wins, to accept our defeats and to a part of something greater than ourselves. Wow is all we can say about what happened at camp today!Įverything about Color War brings out the best in each and every single person on camp. There is no doubt that from the physical energy your kids produced today, that at this very moment they are having a very deep sleep tonight. The vibe was just electric and the energy tonight was something I haven’t ever felt on contest night, EVER! It was a GIANT party where everyone was in the best mood to party and dance. Kids were going crazy with dancing and singing in between their games of hippity hops and relay races. After mass games, it was contest night and there was something in the air. It was fun afternoon of games and competition with steal the bacon, BBG, softball, basketball and soccer but what happened tonight was a night we will remember forever. The faces of fierceness and the grunts of grit, Tugs of War brought the spirit of the games to life and set the tone to what is looking to be an incredible War. They pulled hard and worked as team and showed a strength that they may not have even been aware they had. The battle was fierce and the kids dug down deep to do their teams proud. Kids got dressed head-to-toe in their colors and went right into Tugs of war. We have a true battle happening here at Camp Chen-A-Wanda and just like it’s Color War – Red DC vs. Captain America, Spiderman, Ironman and Deadpool came down from the sky and made there way to Chenny. As the kids followed Batman up to the top of the hill, they were met by 4 skydivers landing at Camp Chen-A-Wanda for a real Superhero battle. The car was insane but there was more to come. Out of nowhere came Superman, Flash and Wonder-women and the kids went nuts. where do they go? Everyone headed to center camp and in rolled the Batmobile with Batman and Robin behind the wheel. ![]() ![]() ![]() and just like that, the kids started to scream and run around wondering where. It was Batman music getting louder and louder and louder. IT HAPPENED! You could suddenly hear something, something that didn’t sound like a bugle. After a good cleaning and waiting for that moment…. You could literally see the disappointment on their faces as they headed back to the bunks. After line-up it was back too the bunks for clean-up and inspection. But they would have to wait a bit longer. Every bird that flew by looked suspicious, every announcement from Chenny Central seemed strange – everyone was anticipating that Color war was breaking at line-up. After they filled their bellies, it was off to line-up but it stared to feel like something was in the air. The day started like any day here at Chenny – everyone rolled out of bed and headed to The Lodge in their jammies, bed hair and all to eat some delicious chocolate chip pancakes. It is hard to put into words the feeling on camp today but I will try my best to relay how it felt to be part of this community who celebrated the beginning of Color War 2017. ![]()
