More clues were revealed that a group of undercover operatives were trying to steal the hatchets for someone known only as “Command.” The villains schemed to unbury the hatchets and get them off camp. Over the last week, the characters from past Color War themes began to reveal themselves, telling campers that they needed more spirit, more songs and more cheers to survive because it seemed like some of the characters were losing their power - and some had even disappeared completely! Led by Captain Hook (from the Notorious Villains backdrop), a series of characters such as Pippi Longstocking (Unaccompanied Minors), Winnie the Pooh (Bedtime Buddies), Rainbow Brite and Doc from “Back to the Future” made appearances as the problem became clear: Someone was trying to steal the hatchets. Should the hatchets be removed from their proper place, the backdrops would lose their ability to come to life, and the spirit of Bryn Mawr would be trapped for the rest of time. In the Fieldhouse and the Dining Hall, where the backdrops from Color Wars past are displayed throughout the summer, something magical happens every night after Taps: Powered by the spirit of the Color War hatchets buried on camp, the characters pictured in the backdrops come to life. This year’s Color War break had a “Night at the Museum” theme based on a mystical Lake Bryn Mawr Camp legend. Even Dan and Jane are surprised every year by the way Color War arrives! Our top-secret Color War planning team seems to have a bottomless bag of break ideas, and we never know what they’re going to dream up next. For our Bunk One campers, Color War is the culmination of all the leadership skills they’ve been learning during their years at camp and for every camper and staff member, it’s a chance to celebrate the summer through fun, games, and lots and lots of cheering!Įach year, our Color War “break” - the event that signals the beginning of Color War - is more creative and spectacular than the last. Color War 2015 broke on Wednesday night, and already camp is overflowing with spirit, friendly competition, and intense Green and Gold pride.
