Mr. Wiff is forever hollering “photo op” to capture the perfect snapshot to share with parents. Ah, but there is a method to his madness. He is forever thinking of winter days when many of us are tiring of the bleakness of the outdoors, and can be uplifted by the sight of Kingswood campers in large groups — gaggles! To heck with winter and on with summer! In this special Blues Buster, Klaus has taken the role of caption-maker for the photos. He tries to sound like Mr. Wiff but could not resist temptation (of inserting Klaus-infused sarcasm).
Counselor introductions are the first full-camp gathering of every session. Surely some poor staff guy is making a fool of himself trying to make you laugh…This was probably Farrar smashing something (always a crowd-pleaser)Perhaps this is a Johnson intro skit. The Legend lives onNothing brings people together quite like that first dip in Mother TAll are welcome on the tennis courts, from beginner Henry (the counselor) to more advanced Thomas.Next, the counselor with the hat will demonstrate proper heading techniqueInter-camp games and tournaments always bring people together.Crosbee, a camp staple. Klaus said one meeting “if you haven’t played crosbee then you haven’t been to Kingswood!”Packerball, a senselessly complicated game with crazy rules….sounds like many a camp activityAsk not what your country can do for you, paddle your own canoeGetting all the gear together is the most important pre-hike meeting, especially when Natan is in charge.Looks like the intrepid hikers have conquered the behemoth Mt. Mist, which stands at 2,237 ft.We get some of our counselors from Camp America, but on July 4th this is the real Camp AmericaCapture the cumbersome object never fails to attract nearly everyone, though rarely is the object ever “captured”It must be a sparkler on the waterfront (Klaus has no idea how else to describe this since he is rarely in the lake)Free seating at cookouts always brings different ages togetherThe lethargic stroll up the hill is a must-do after guest chef night….how else will you have room for dessert?Cabin unity is best achieved by building an Egg Drop contraption that will ultimately be destroyed in a fiery, watery, aerial, or otherwise creative way.This is Mr. Wiff’s worst nightmare… a real gaggle. I think I see them on Lake Tarleton!!!
