Here at Campus Kids the camper choice system is organized in the following manner: on the y-axis of a grid are the campers' names, and on the x-axis, the activities. Most periods get a range of activities chosen, as you can see from the left hand side of the photograph. But in an unprecedented event, 64 of the 74 Super Seniors, 86%, chose extreme duck-duck-goose.
	This amount of campers signing up for one singular activity.
Like Rob-Lou-Jen, extreme duck-duck-goose is a Campus Kids NJ original. Created by Adam A., Danny S., and Counselor Alex R., this game is loosely based on the childhood game of duck-duck-goose.
	Before the games began, the creators explained the rules and demonstrated how to play. Like in the actual game, everyone sits in a circle.
One person walks around the circle tapping people on the head saying the word 'duck'.
	When someone is tapped goose, the extreme aspect of the game begins.
A ball, either a rubber ball or dodge ball, is placed in the center of the circle, sometimes on the ground, sometimes held by someone.
	The person dubbed 'Goose' must pick up the ball and try to hit the person with it before he or she returns to their seat.
If they hit them, the person hit is out. If they miss, the thrower is out.
	If the ball is caught, the thrower is out.
Once people are out, they can do little but watch as the mayhem of pelting balls goes on.
	Last man or woman standing wins.
