Top Eleven Things To Do While Camping With A Large Group - Tents don't have walls...mua ha ha ha - Entertainment

This Top Elevens Category is based on a previous experience by Emz and I (Cozmo). Camping, with 12-16 year olds, an 18 year old councelor from England, a goofy mom, and a Komodo Dragon.
This is mainly what to do at night:
11. Wear your hair in dredlocks to the camp site on the first day.
10. The first night, start singing songs loudly, making sure you don't know all of the words, and that you clearly mumble (if that's possible), how you THINK the words go. For instance...I Am Henry the VIII.
9. If you are going to a place known for it's wild animals, (Assateague National/State Park, Wild Ponies), practice making that animal's sound. I (Cozmo), got quite good at pony noises. Which in the dark can freak someone out. Heh heh. Especially if it sounds like it's comming from within your tent. "Shh, quiet boy, you don't want to wake everyone up". Also, memorize the sign warning you about the animals:
WILD PONIES BITE AND KICK
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
DO NOT FEED
Add a rythm to it.
8. Do various accents (Cozmo again). Including Australian, Scottish, English (but only when Steve, the English Councelor isn't around), Brooklyn, Wisconcin, Minnesota, and anyother accent you are capable of doing.
7. At night when everyone is in their tents but still quite awake, yell "WHAT?". I garauntee, within 3 seconds, everyone will be yelling back "WHAT?". There will be much confusion...isn't it great?
6. Whenever someone makes a lame insult or bad animal sound or accent, applaud vivaciously, then yell for a speech. Hopefully, the rest of the camp will do it with you.
5. Insist on showing everyone the piles of pony droppings (animal).
4. When you visit Ocean City with the group, and have to carry around walky talkies to keep in touch with the other councelors, make sure you are on the same frequency as everone else in the park.
Actual Conversation Steve had with a ride director...unbeknownst to the director:
Director: Are you still there?
Steve: Yeah.
Director: Ok, just making sure you were still there.
Steve: Yeah, I'm still here.
Then go on to describe yourselves and tell him to let you have a free ride.
Or, you can fake the other councelors out like this, another Steve move:
"Uh, Mike, I'm gonna' need some back-up, it looks like there might be a riot." (Few minutes) "Uh, Mike, one of the rioters has a peice". () "Mike...uh, I've been shot." () "Mike get some paramedics down here, I'm in pain Mike". ()() "Mike where are you? I've arrested like 13 of these guys." "Mike, my leg is bleeding severely. My femur is severed, I think...yeah, I think I'm gonna' need a new leg".
And so on.
3. Give eachother code names. So that whenever you are in a public place and are calling to one another, it seems very strange.
For example: Cozmo, Emz, Superman, Puff the Magic Dragon...and so on.
2. When moving from one public place to another, move in a single file line chanting things like "I play dominoes better than you play dominoes". Then to complete the whole Monty Python look, beat yourselves in the head with a book or something.
1. Instead of yelling "Come on camp Putok, we are going here!" Give your camp a...stranger name. Like..."Camp DeweyCheatemandHowl, we're going here!". Or, "Camp Haywoodjabuzzov we're going here".
0. Talk, either in a made up language, or like a bunch of "Hep Kats". Say things like:
Can ya' dig it.
Crazy
Solid
What's swingin'?
I can swing to that beat.
Yeah man, I dig.
Call everyone "Kat"...not the feline variety.
Can ya' dig it kat?
