They also wanted to report some incredible Leagues performances turned in by their friends, such […]
Campers were told to get dressed in their division colors and after breakfast, the famous theme came over the loudspeaker, signaling the first Survivor event of the summer.

Special things happen at camp all the time. You’ve probably heard about how the land between the arches holds a certain magic, where these incredible little moments happen all the time.
