This week at camp there was a color war breakout! For those of you that don’t know what a color war is, it is the most hilarious and fun series of games, ever. The campers were split into their teams with Georgia leading the blue and white team, Lo leading the pink and black team and Joseph leading the red and yellow team.

The teams battled it out, to be claimed the 2016 color war champions (part one). Check out the video below to see who was victorious!

Wrap the cones in tin foil.
Place on a campfire (or in the oven if you don’t have a camp fire handy) for 1 to 2 minutes.
Let them cool for a few minutes, so you don’t burn your fingers unwrapping the foil.
Enjoy!
