Color War break out is filled with weeks of anticipation and excitement just waiting to explode at that very second when the packets are thrown and the banners are presented. However this summer, break out was about the fake outs. Yes, we started off with some small smoke bombs outside the dining hall, then one night I told you all to sleep with flashlights by your bed, and some nights I wandered boys and girls camp to stir up some suspicion that something was going on. Before we all knew it, we were packed into the rec hall for the first half of the talent show. While the acts were going on, I spent time walking in and out of the rec hall, and going back stage. I watched the Jr. Camp counselors and campers start to chatter and smile big because they all thought break out was coming. It was time for the last act and out came our division leaders and some circus staff performing a mining act. Each time a banner was hung up, a squeak of excitement and gasp of breath was taken as the banner was read. With each banner campers crept closer and closer to the stage, and alas after an amazing 5 minute skit, it was over, FAKE OUT!!!! Campers and counselors left the rec hall headed to canteen with a hope that at least they still had the firework fake out to look forward to! More
