i never did get why they had to scare kids… worst color war breakout, or most traumatizing at least. On field day/sports day, at the end of the day of competition, the counselors were scheduled to have a short competition- jumpin rope, jumbo (long jump). During jumbo, one head councelor ‘tripped’ and fell hard. Some counselors ran to her and s/o yelled to call Hatzola. In that 3 minute wait, half the camp was crying hysterically, many called home crying and traumatized. 2 men from Hatzolah came in, looked her over and loaded her into a neck brace n stretcher. As they were leaving, she yelled hold on, i need to tell the other head counselor something. 2nd ran over and said what is it? And she yelled: its color war! It was NOT a fun breakout. I do not get the fear factor in the breakouts.
