Capture The Flag
Capture the Flag is a CLASSIC camp game – nobody would dispute that. Even a classic can sometimes do with some spicing up however…
We’ve created 6 exciting and uniquely-themed versions of the game to keep your campers enthralled and energetic! From Kingdoms working against each other, to the 4 Hogwart’s houses fighting to be the best, these 6 variations offer different ways to split the groups, powerful skits to excite your campers and themes which carry throughout the game, each with different items as their “flags”.
Fantasy
“Two kingdoms, built side by side and having been in existence for hundreds of years, are ignited into a land war. In order to prevail over their rivals they must retrieve the armor of their prospective founders – twin brothers, spawned by power and fueled by rivalry!”
This is a fantastic run-around game, highly energetic and effectively capturing the imagination of all.

Fire & Ice
“The lord of the gods, Odin, has two offspring, a son and a daughter. They couldn’t be more different, as one was gifted with the powers of fire whilst the other was given the powers of ice. As they grew so did their powers. They fought constantly, much to the dismay of their father, who grew old and tired of the arguments. He decided it was time for one of his children to take the throne. Each claimed to be the most worthy and they are both equal in power, so Odin decided that a contest was in order. A contest that would take place not in the heavens but on earth. Both gods will be sent to earth in the body of a mortal, where they will lead a group of their mortal followers in a battle without bloodshed to determine who will sit on the throne of the gods.”

Conquest
Conquest is a run-around game that involves 2 teams competing for the title of “Funniest Clowns that Ever Lived”. The game is run in a capture-the-flag style, only without team boundaries and with slightly different rules.
“The Russian Traveling Circus is the greatest circus in the whole world. Unfortunately, the circus’s troop of clowns that were the funniest in the world have retired. The ring master and boss of the circus now has to hire another troop of clowns to entertain the children who come to be entertained. Two rival troops have applied for the job, both led by a clown captain – but unfortunately, neither of them are funny. So there is only one thing left to do… both troops travel to the sacred land of slapstick hoping that if they pray at the six shrines of the clown gods they will become clowns of such skill and such funniness that they will be hired by the amazing world famous Russian Traveling Circus.
If the team captures the six shrines of the clown gods then they will become the funniest clowns that have ever lived, but only one troop will be hired so they must compete.”
Conquest is a fast-paced game with innovative rules to keep both campers’ minds and bodies active…
Statistics:
Conquest is an innovative version of Capture The Flag, very unlike the others, and is still very much in it’s developmental stage. We currently do not have enough statistics collected for this program, however we include it in this package as a varied alternative to the standard format and aim to assist you with ironing out any issues as you begin to plan implementing it at your camp.
