Sock War

Are you ready for it?!What to Wear: Campers can dress in camo to “disappear” in the woods and brush throughout the playing field; or you can bring plenty of red and blue to support the team your Cabin is assigned to.

Campers can come as a life-sized object, or they can dress as their favorite toy character.
