Gladiator
By: Zach Blaifeder
   
Unlike Gladiator in Roman times, the Campus Kids version is a lot less dangerous.
This combination of capture the flag, dodgeball, and flag football easily makes this game a camp favorite.  
Counselor Adam explained the rules, and picked the teams.
The rules are simple. Each team has a flag. The objective of the game is to get the other team's flag and bring back to your base, just like capture the flag. However, there are obstacles in the way.
Each side of the playing field has barriers in which players can hide behind. This can allow sneak attacks to happen.
The dodgeballs are used to get members on the opposite team out of the game.  However, team members cannot move with the dodgeballs. They can only roll the dogeballs forward.
Each team member wears a flag belt. If the belt comes off, under any circumstances, your out!
The games that were played were truly exciting. Each team gathered at its base to start.  
  Let the games begin!
Several techniques were used to get the other team's flag, like the army crawl.  
  Fortunately, this camper made a narrow escape.
Campers carefully defended their bases...
 
Until victory was acheived!
 
  Put simply, gladiator is great!
