The Spirit Shack
This is where camp spirit comes to life. The Spirit Shack is your home base for all things energy, pride, and connection. The more your delegation shows up and shows out, the more spirit points your team earns.
SPIRIT POINTS
Spirit points are a fun way to recognize student engagement and school pride throughout the conference. Teams earn points by participating in activities like engaging with our social media, decorating and trading clothespins, submitting a Camp Roll Call video, performing a Spirit Chant, joining the Swap Shop, and contributing to Camp Cause. The more involved and spirited your delegation, the more points your team scores!
Spirit Theme Days
10 points are awarded to each school that participates in the theme each day.
-
Day 1: School Spirit Day — Show off your school colors and spirit gear. Rep your campus loud and proud.
-
Day 2: Throwback Camp Day — Dress like you're at summer camp in the 90s. Think color war tees, tube socks, bucket hats, and all the nostalgia.
Look below for more ways to gain spirit points throughout the conference.
