Day 2 (continued): we got back, ate lunch, and headed over to the ropes course shack. We mostly went over rules and how to do stuff for the first hour and a half. After that, we headed to the ropes course and climbed up. I went on “old rickety” (a log running from one post to another) first. One of the counselors blindfolded me and had me stand on one leg, walk backwards and jump on the post. I ended up doing all of the rope course bits, and I did most of them twice. For me, the scariest one was the “flea hop” where you had to jump from one post to another.

We ate dinner and had a campfire, where we sang camp songs and such. Day 3: we ate breakfast and packed up our things to go home. We did some team building and played some field games. One of the games we played was “where’s my chicken?.” Someone was the “farmer” and had a small ball which was the “chicken” and everyone else were the “foxes.” The foxes had to run up to the farmer and steal the chicken without being seen. If the chicken was stolen it had to be hidden and brought back over the starting line. If the farmer guessed who had the chicken, it was game over for the foxes.

• Why not “where’s my duck??”
• Where did the idea for that game come from?
• Have chickens ever laid a triple yolked egg?
