Green-White Competitions

During their first summer at North Star Camp for Boys, each camper will be chosen to the Green or White team. This will be their team for as long as they attend North Star Camp. Throughout the session, there will be Green-White events where campers can gain points for their team—smaller village activities like softball or flag football games or larger all-camp activities like North Star Ball or Capture the Flag. The highlight of the Green-White Competition each session is a Green-White Marathon, a multi-hour relay race through camp where each camper participates in at least one wacky event. The Green-White Marathon culminates in “Boil Water Boil” where two participants from each team build a fire to try to be the first to boil over their team’s bucket of water.
