SPECIAL EVENTS

The normal program of activities and trips is enhanced by a variety of special events which add to the liveliness characteristic of Wachusett.  Vigorous games of Capture the Flag, even in rainy conditions, are a periodic source of excitement.  Cabin skits may not be Broadway productions, but they seldom fail to entertain and amuse; they also provide an excellent opportunity for the camper whose bent is theatrical.  Weekly movies and campfires help to maintain a high level of enthusiasm, as does the reading of the Logs which the boys write about each day's activities and about overnight trips.  Tournaments in tennis, ping pong, and horseshoes are voluntary, but there never is any shortage of volunteers.  The Fourth of July parade and fireworks come early in the summer, and there are special trips for Super Early Birds and Early Birds.  Junior Nights and Senior Nights allow boys an opportunity to get away from the property.  In a word, things are never dull.
