Current Entry: Capture The Objective
Winter Camp's variant on Capture The Flag is a continuously evolving Winter Camp activity. When two teams play, Cow Camp and Highland are the home bases; when three face off, the third is based at Treasure Oak. In its first incarnation, at Winter Camp II, the objective was called the "Oatley", was human, and could evade its pursuers. Over the course of successive Winter Camps, numerous rules experiments have been tested (see accompanying table, next page), many inspired by arguments which arise after the game. Indeed, post-game arguments over rules interpretations are something of a CTO tradition. The game took a three-year hiatus during Winter Camps XV-XVII as the variant known as Predator took its place, but the game and the argument returned at Winter Camp XVIII.
