#yatesevent006

Last year, when Yates Junior Darren McLeod decided to rent out an entire summer camp on the coast of Maine, everyone was excited for a unique experience. They had assumed it was a one time thing, the boy whose family could buy the entirety of New England buying out the grounds for students to run wild for a summer week. And they did make it an unforgettable week. It was less Walden Pond and more Wet Hot American Summer. 

The Yates students singlehandedly cleared out the only liquor store by Camp Laurel. Clothes laid strewn along the sandy beaches all week as students skinny dipped, much to the chagrin of the camp’s neighbors. Rumor says twenty students participated in an orgy in Cabin Hydra, and everyone claims they were part of it.

It seemed like the kind of week you couldn’t recreate, a perfect encapsulation of all the societies that was bound to live on like a legend. But then Darren popped molly with his friends by the campfire, and after a bottle of champagne he quickly called the owners. The next day he woke up with no memory of permanently purchasing the camp in his family’s name and forty missed calls from his parents after realizing a couple hundred thousand had been drained from their bank account.

While the camp still operates as a retreat for youth most of the summer, for one week in July the place is cleared out, and Darren’s determined to make the events of last summer happen again. So pack your bathing suits, your bug spray and lots of ibuprofen for your inevitable hangover. It’s time to go to camp again. 

This year, the students of Yates have been divided up into two teams. Team Nebula and Team Supernova. You will be sharing cabins with your teammates, as well as participating in Camp Wars together. IC, the winners will be determined by a series of games, including beach volleyball, three legged race, canoe race, and a sandcastle contest among others. However, we the admins will determine the winners by how many tasks are created from the list below. The team with the most points at the end of the week will be crowned the winners. Winning has little reward except for bragging rights among your fellow society members and a secret reward that I will not reveal yet. Each of the following activities is worth A POINT EACH. We’ve created a tag, #YATESPOINTS, for you to post these. Good luck!
