For health and strength (for health and strength): If you tell me you didn't start singing this in your head, you're lying. 
BOB Time: Though different for every group, BOB time can be one of the best parts of the day.
French braids: They're harder to do than they look, huh?
Reuben: To some, a sandwich; to others, the craziest cabin in the existence of Camp Okoboji.
Froot Loops: The community cereal box of greatness.
Morse Code: Bracelets and necklaces with secret words and inside jokes, AKA one of the coolest crafts ever.
Rubber chickens: What is Youth Week without them? Also, their song was amazing.
Circle up: *cries all of the tears*
Nametags: I'm at home now without it, and I feel sort of lost.
Storming the court...the basketball court: HERE WE GO CAMPERS HERE WE GO *clap clap*
Greatest friends I've got: you guys are the best people.

My small group was fantastic. We had awesome conversation, and worked as a team. Our skit was a ton of fun, though I think we can hand that to a few people who can do improv. We didn't win survivor, but we did have a ton of fun. Best small group I've ever been in.
I also have to write about my favorite camp memory to date:
Soon after I got to camp, I walked into the Mark gazebo, heard "1-2-3-GO!" and was attacked by about 15 people in the best group hug of my entire life. If that alone doesn't explain the people you meet at camp, I'll say it again: you're the greatest friends I've got. ❤️
