I often say that I am a camp director because I LOVE COLOR WAR!! Color War can “breakout” at any time during the summer at Camp Canadensis, and it’s sometimes very suspenseful while we are waiting for it to start. Something crazy happens every year…like a helicopter landing in camp, sky divers jumping out of a plane, or the Rec Hall getting lit up with different colors. When Color War breaks out camp is divided into the Blue and Gold team, and it starts a week of spirit and sportsmanship. It’s five amazing days that everyone in camp gets excited about, and I can go on about it forever!
One of our staff members from last year, Jye Freer, is returning from Australia for his second year being a counselor and working at the lake. He caught the “Color War Bug” last year, and this year he ordered “Color War Sneakers”!!! He went on www.nikeid.com and made a Blue and Gold sneaker that was even personalized with the words “Color War”. He think he’s going to be able to save them until Color War breaks out, but I have a feeling he’ll be wearing them from the first day of camp…
