The last full day camp is always bitter-sweet. For LITS, the last day of camp is a very exciting and eventful day. The LITS were split into four teams where for the entirety of the day would compete against each other through various activities. after breakfast the teams gathered in their assigned area where they were assigned a team color. It was up to them to come up with a team name, team flag, team song or chant, and a team slogan. They were very creative in their efforts. From this point forward they participated in the following activities; archery, human knot, limbo,GaGa Ball (form or dodge ball)and the final activity was a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt instructed the campers to find their activities all over camp. At each location they were to accomplish a task which was given to them by a counselor. This scavenger ended with a large mud pit in the GaGa pit. Then it was off to showers to get cleaned up and dressed for Formal Dinner. After dinner, we have a mini dance and camp slide show. Campfire was next on the agenda. Friday night campfire is more unique than any other campfire. This campfire is a little longer than usual and leads us to our Vespers. Vespers is a time where we have campers and counselor from each camp ready poems, verses, or stories from our YMCA books. Director Rick Shima, also pays thanks to each of the volunteer staff by calling them down and giving them a candle in which he light as a sign of his appreciation. Each year our volunteer staff grows larger and contributes to yet another amazing year at Camp Oakhurst.
