Carnival Day brought extra excitement to camp as campers stepped right up for an afternoon filled with games, prizes, temporary tattoos, and plenty of laughs. The event transformed the camp day into a lively carnival experience, complete with ticket-based activities and a raffle-style finale.
Campers tested their luck and skill at a variety of carnival game stations. Duck catching was a popular stop, with campers selecting floating ducks and hoping for a winning match. At the Find the Gem station, campers searched carefully for hidden treasures, adding a fun mystery element to the day. Bean bag toss challenged campers to aim, throw, and score, while ladder ball brought out friendly competition and plenty of cheering.
Temporary tattoos added to the festive atmosphere, giving campers a chance to show off colorful designs throughout the day. From fun shapes to playful artwork, the tattoo station quickly became a favorite part of the carnival setup.
One of the biggest highlights was the chance to pie MaryGrace. For five tickets, campers could take part in the crowd-favorite activity, creating lots of laughter and unforgettable camp memories. The pie station drew excitement from campers and staff alike, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the day.
Throughout the carnival, campers collected tickets from games and activities. At the end of the event, those tickets were entered into a tricky tray-style raffle. Campers placed tickets toward the prizes they hoped to win, adding suspense and excitement as names were drawn.
Carnival Day was filled with energy, teamwork, laughter, and camp spirit. From classic games to silly surprises, the day gave campers a memorable experience and a fun way to celebrate together.
