FOR BOYS AND GIRLS ONLY

For Boys and Girls ONLY!!

This week was a rivalry week between the boys and girls. They each had their own mascot to protect from each other; Molly Dolly was the girls mascot and Skeeter was the boys mascot. During the week the boys and girls both built their own clubhouses and painted them, competed in games against each other, learned how to make 4 different kinds of trail mixes, memorized the camp cheer and made flags for their clubhouses. This week was full of fun, and competition! Molly and Skeeter were taken time and time again, but it seemed that the girls always had to pay a ransom (m&m's or licorice) to the boys to get Molly back. At one point they were both in the hospital for sustaining injuries that needed TLC. Molly's back was torn and Skeeter's leg nearly fell off. A doctor sewed them up but they had to stay overnight at the hospital where they became good friends by morning. They were even caught holding hands!
