Wow it seems Marbehsholom has attended every single camp!
Does that include day camp?
So no one should play sports….there is always a loser. (sorry OBBL)
Schools shouldn’t have spelling bees…there is only one winner.
I was in camps for 15+ years….sometimes I won color war and sometimes I lost. It was fun being part of a team. Winning and losing color war (or a league game, or any other contest/event) means a lot less than learning team work. It has to be put into the proper perspective.
Now as an adult, whether at work or recreationaly, i know the concept of “team player”.
There are groups that play sports with children, and everyone’s a winner. Kids hate it. Most kids like competition.
It’s part of the game.
Marbehshalom you make broad statements that all camps have lousy color wars and then when most people who comment seem too have had positive experiences you get upset. You then write only people who comment in the coffee room enjoy it because they have issues and need to be heard ( don’t you also comment?)
And now you say we are distorting your words.
Face it most kids enjoy color war , if they wouldn’t the camps wouldn’t have them since a camp is a business like everything else and they need to keep the consumer happy, and you went to a camp where they don’t and for some reason u send your kid to a camp where they do the same.
I am not sure what you are referring to about poking fun. In the camp I went to the teams actually helped each other with ideas for skits, songs and plays. The highlights of color war were both teams dancing together after the marches and both teams singing and dancing together at the end of the grand sing. I feel bad you missed out on positive experience that manyof us had by going to the wrong camp and now sending your child to a bad camp. Speak with the camp your child goes to about eliminating color war or change your child’s camp. I am not sure why it bothers you that others enjoyed something you didn’t. No one is disagreeing with you that you hated color war. We are disagreeing with what you write about everyone else is feeling.
Are you trying to project that on the rest of us? Because some of us had a different experience than you did.
I loved color was as a kid, however,i you had asked me I would have said I hated it. The herd mentality had something to do with it.
This color war thing really bothers you a lot. Despite the fact that almost every poster claims they love color war you are so gung ho against it that you need to make up a fabrication that a camp with 600 kids will make a color war because 90 kids who control the camp really like it. Get over it and if it makes you feel good believe your made up ideas but the fact is in most camps the reason they have color war is because most kids enjoy it!
believe me, i’m a chananya. but i still loved color war
neither! just a normal kid who liked camp because I went to an awesome camp and sent my kids to that camp and they loved it as well. Obviously had I had such a bad experience like you had I would not have sent my kid back there.
P.S. I doubt any simcha shtark kid would waste his time posting on yeshivah world
Of course the camp is listening to Simcha Shtark. It’s all part of the unicorn conspiracy.
I don’t think the camps should be playing Lipa.
Camp is over for a week already. Your kid should have gotten over losing color war by now. 🙂
Not until the unicorns come out of hiding.
