One camp highlight I thought I'd share with you was our camp point system. Every single camp you go to divides the campers into teams and you compete all week for points to see who wins. On the first night we did the typical come up with a team name, cheer and boy band routine. On a whim we decided to award the best team a crocodile if they were the best (any Arrested Development fans out there) Before the next day was over we had totally gotten rid of the traditional system and replaced it with the platypus, guinea fowl, crocodile, emu, kitty cat system. All week we awarded animals. The winning team ended up with 1 platypus (only 3 awarded all week) 16 guinea fowl, 45 crocodiles, 6 emus, and 4 kitty cats. We also gave out armadillos and Mr angry faces to teams that showed poor effort. It was fun all week hearing campers say things like "C'mon that has to be worth a Guinea fowl" and "I'll do it if you'll give me a crocodile." One of our finest and most entertaining ideas ever.
