Staff in front of the ship
All the pirates and scalawags gathered at Port Royal on Friday as the ship landed for an evening full of games, food, and fun.  Campers trekked through the side door of the gym to be greeted by all of their favorite mates and entered into a shipwrecked paradise.  There was all the yummy food you could imagine with booths serving pirate punch, mini corndogs and hushpuppies, fried Oreos, and much more, including one titled, “Float the Boat” for root beer floats.  If your hands weren’t full of food then you could participates in activities such as sword fighting (with noodles), or finding a hidden treasure in a sand box. The main treasure of the night had to be worked for, as the clue at dinner led many campers searching for the key to the chest.  But, in order to get the next clue, they had to identify the person with the correct key as Calypso, which Cabin 9 did.  The clue from Calypso led Cabin 9 to find the treasure chest hidden behind Gus’s to score 200 Highlander Bucks.  Other popular activities for the evening were hair wraps, the dunking tank, and jail.  Rebecca Silverman from Cabin 11 said, “My favorite booth was the dunking booth, even though I didn’t participate, it was still fun to see Cabin 34 boys fall into the water.  I also liked how everyone was dressed up, especially the ones who looked scary with dark eye makeup on.”  Cabin 11 ran “Pin the Patch on the Pirate” and said it was one of the best evening programs of the summer.  Port Royal was a huge success and all the hard work putting it together paid off!
