In the afternoon, our Saturday Mystery Central activities began. To introduce the theme, two pirate crews stormed the dining hall during lunch. The competing crews were the “Jollys” and the “Rogers,” led by two fighting brothers. Alec, our Craft Shop Director, was Captain Jolly, accompanied by his crew, Scallywag, Cannon Ball, and Landlubber. Stephen G, our High Ropes Director, was Captain Roger, accompanied by his crew, Roger Roger, Roger Dodger, and Rogier. The Carmine Kids ~ the gang that’s all true blue ~ asked all of camp to help solve the mystery of why these two brothers were fighting.
After lunch, the groups received a clue leading them to their first location on a circuit of Minute-To-Win-It Games and various riddles. After decoding these riddles, they travelled around camp to get more clues. They were directed back to their sites, where they found their final clues left by the pirates. Each group was given puzzle pieces and sent back to the dining hall. Once they arrived, the Carmine Kids asked them to put the puzzle together to figure out why Captain Jolly and Captain Roger were fighting. The puzzle revealed a giant joy jar, which had been broken by the brothers. The brothers were trying to find their joy!!! Thanks to the Carmine Kids and the help of all the campers, the pirate brothers ended their long feud! After the mystery was solved, the campers headed to the pool to cool down. Then everyone met on the beach for a cookout with hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice cream!
