	As far as advertising strategies go, this is not a good one. It has neither the name nor the logo of the complex in it. But despite an inside-the-box approach to signage, the roller rink of Skate 57 made for a wonderful day trip.
(Once again, I am confused)
	Upon entering, campers, counselors, and web photo people donned their roller skates or blades.

And from there, there was little to do but take on the hard wood rink, one push at a time.






The staff of the roller rink organized two games (well, three if you count the game that I like to call "How many four-year-old Blink 182 songs can we possibly play"). First was a game called four corners. Campers would skate around while the music played, and when it stopped, make their way to one of the four corners. Then, dice would be rolled, and the number that came up would correspond to a corner--that corner was eliminated.
	Corners began being eliminated...
...and campers began to vanish from the game.
	Eventually, after many intense rounds, the winner was Lindsey J.

They also organized rink-wide dances, including those to the electric slide and apache (two CK favorites).


Some of the maneuvers (i.e. "Three hops this time") proved too difficult for some.

There were those who felt more comfortable in shoes that could keep them still at the top of a steep hill, and for them there were many options.



	And as per the usual, upon returning to camp, campers who went on the day trip thanked Ryan at announcements.
