Capture the Flag at Plantation

Posted By: Kelly Marston

GAME ON! GAME ON! GAME ON!

With less than a eighty days until the start of camp my excitement to hear these words ring out in the Baseball Diamond, or “the BBD” as it is more fondly referred to, indicating the start of another game of Capture the Flag is growing with each day!

Unlike any other game of CTF, this one is played in the woods around a clearing, the BBD, and the flags are not placed in clear view of the opposing team. Oh no, far from it! These flags are hidden in the nooks and crannies provided by the gorgeous Redwood trees, and using great stealth you can try to find them. But watch out, because that hollowed out tree trunk you are about to look in might just hide someone from the other team who wants to tag you out!

By far my favorite game at camp, I cannot wait to grab some water, slap on some sunscreen, put on some good shoes and head out with an amped group of campers to play a round of Plantation style CTF in the BBD! Summer 2011 is right around the corner here, and I could not be more excited!

See you all soon!
