JSM Middle School Winter Camp - Saturday Wake Up!

Good morning from Winter Camp!!
We've been taking a poll on who got the most sleep last night and the answer is NOBODY!! But that's okay because it's CAMP!!

Each morning we have a "Wake Up" session of funny videos and games to get the students going! (Although I'm not sure if that was necessary since half of them were up before 7am playing gaga ball!!)


In our first challenge students have to pull all the tissues out of their box one at a time using only one hand!















Here's how they finished:

Since our theme this weekend is “Vote” we’ve decided to adopt a “cat” and decide as a group how to raise it! For each decision 4 different students each choose one of the options have 20 seconds to give their campaign speech and convince everyone else why we should vote for their choice…

Our first question was about what we should name out cat…





Whelp. Looks like this weekend's cat is Poop Nugget!


Our next question had to do with what to feed out cat when we realized we have no cat food…



And of course Pop Tarts would be a good choice! Apparently little Poop Nugget even asked for seconds!


But unfortunately this fella has developed quite a stench and we're not sure how to best get rid of it...




Sounds like bathing him in hand sanitizer is a good option! 
He's all clean now but got a little freaked out in the bath, ran outside & stuck in a tree! How should we get him down??





Well who'd have thought having an eagle swoop down and pick him up wouldn't end well?!


Dead Cat!!
Oh well! Maybe we'll try again tomorrow!



And to wrap up the morning, a little trivia challenge!
