Let the Games Begin!

I have followed Curt 'Moose' Jackson's amazing blog, summercamppro.com, since becoming director of my day camp. His blog and the open forum he created on his blog meshed so well with the culture I was striving to create. For years, I had been attempting to introduce Color War to our camp, but it always seemed daunting and overwhelming, especially for a day camp format. This year, my assistant and I decided we would try it and when I came across this compilation of ideas from his website, I was overjoyed. It was a go-to resource for ideas to make the experience easier to plan to to make it memorable for our campers. Thank you, 'Moose'!

Reenergize your Lesson Plans!

Moose Jackson has been compiling the best of the best for years, and it shows! As a YMCA Camp Director in NH, I've been following and contributing to his blog for a long time. This book is great to reenergize your activities in color war - you can be a resident camp, day camp, facility camp, or after school program! If you work with children, you should have this book - the activities can expand beyond 'color war' and just be in your weekly lesson plans. Great large motor and small motor ideas, team building, relationship development... all important factors in youth development!

I have been running a color war theme week at my camp for the past 2 summers. I purchased Moose's book to spark some new and creative ideas to help boost our Color War! What a great book and since this is the camper's most favorite themed week...the book has been instrumental in keeping Color Wars new and FUN!!! Thanks Moose!

I was totally new at putting together a summer camp 'Color War'. This book was invaluable in helping me create the right atmosphere, plan out our days and come up with some great war games. I did a lot of searching the web and basically it was all in this publication.
