As Campers Dreamed, Counselors Dribbled

Canteen had ended.  Bunk meetings were drawing to a close.  Campers were going to bed.  Unbeknownst to them was the fact that as their sleepy eyes closed for the night, their counselors would not be following suit.  No, instead, they were heading off to the gym (those who had the night off) for a little game of basketball-Staff only.

After sides were chosen, and warm-ups completed, the game was on.

Now, I am not a sports writer.  I never have been, never will be.  So from my standpoint, when a shot looks good and doesn't go in, I still think its a good shot.  I'm probably not the best person in the world to cover a basketball game, but there I was, camera in my hand, watching an intense game of basketball between counselors.  So in that spirit, I present to you, the staff basketball game.

Thanks to DJ Josh Katz, whose expertise extended as far as putting the Bruce Springsteen disc in the disc player, eager fans, not exactly on the edge of their seats, but nonetheless interested, the gym was alive with music.

                                   
     

In the end, the team (for lack of a better name, because neither team chose one) lead by Floyd (with several slam dunks) won it.  It might be hard to determine if the popular phrase "Everyone's a winner at Campus Kids" extends to counselors off the clock, but it seems fair to say that everyone, at the very least, had a great time.
