Raze the Village

OriginWinter Camp XXV (2001)
The StoryWinter Camp XXV had a viking theme and this event might have been the most popular. Paul Kupser led a team which constructed a cardboard village in the area of the flagpole at the Beaver Creek Waterfront.

Vikings assembled below carrying spears, shields, clubs, and, of course, torches. At a signal they all charged forth into the village and began destroying the village.

The event, which probably lasted less than 10 minutes, was chaos and granted many campers a cathartic experience. It has also yielded a number of Winter Camp's favorite photos.
