Wrestlemania & Deep Space Battle!
Saturday at Camp!
This past Saturday had a packed schedule full of Tournaments, Deep Space Battle, and Wrestlemania!
We started the day with an extra hour to sleep in, like we do on all weekend days, to get some extra rest from a busy week. All morning we challenged each other to different tournaments around camp.
Below are the tournaments and activities that boys could choose from on Saturday. There were a variety of choices so boys could be as active or relaxed as they wished.
Deep Space Battle
Saturday afternoons are for All Camp Games! This time it was a new one - Deep Space Battle! The goal of the game was to compete for maximum amount of control time over the three zones scattered around camp (space!). The winner would gain control of the ship’s navigation. Station masters were keeping track of who was in possession of a zone, and for how long.
To capture the zones, teams had to get five players in a zone to transfer ownership to their team. This was hard to do, with the opposing team standing guard and defending the zone’s perimeter! Each team also had two captains, who were worth a valuable “15 minutes of control time” if they were captured by the opposing team.
Wrestlemania
We enjoyed a hearty dinner, which was a delicious Thanksgiving meal complete with turkey and stuffing with gravy, broccoli, rolls, full salad bar, and warm pumpkin pie for dessert! Finally, it was time for Evening Program.
After a long hiatus, Wrestlemania was back at Falling Creek! It was full of all the wacky costumes, theatrical displays, cheesy lines, and wild cheering that you would expect.
The Wrestlemania event took place at the Campfire area like it did in the 90s, and our facilities team did a great job building a wrestling ring for the event!
It started with a “Royal Rumble,” introducing the assorted cast of counselors. There were appearances by “Tony Pizza”, “Taps” (Day is done…), “the Lauve Machine”, and many more. The wrestlers went all-out with their wild outfits, walkout music, and signature moves. It was a hilarious way to end another great day at camp!
