Just got back from The Wild Rumpus! Such amazing good times Not your typical summer camp
Went with a cabin full of awesome friends and made new friends!
Highlights:
Each night, 150+ ppl in costume, danced on a huge open grass field under the stars. On the first night, all 15 of us dressed up as a colony of raver bunnies with lit-up bunny ears.
First dinner, we ate at the mess hall, sitting with people we just met. At my table, two people dressed up as beers, two girls in kiddie swim tubes, plus about 8 others in all sorts of awesome. “Prince of Pitt Meadows” put his speaker down on the table, everyone burst into song, and girl from across the room hopped onto our table and burst into dance.
On Canada Day, we dressed up as lumbersexuals. Made friendship bracelets and badges. Played Zorb Ball soccer! (Rough game!) Chilled at the beach, went down a tiny but exciting twirly water slide. At night, we sat around the fire and played movie charades. It was the first time I played the charades, and first time seeing someone trying to literally act out the words “Coyote Ugly” because she hadn’t seen the movie
Third day was the funnest! We played slip and slide kickball, sling shot slip and slide, Hulk fists volleyball, tug of war, frisbee, and danced all night. Many of us were “super heroes on vacation”….Batman and Robin, ninja turtles, space cow boy and girl, the Mad Hatter, beaver, skeleton, and mermaid. We danced with tie dye Jesus, unicorns, some grapes, and many more amazing people.
Matt briefly caught on fire during his fire stunt, but was fine! Whew. You know The Wild Rumpus has a dedicated team when a host breathes fire and slightly scorches his beard
