Beginning with the silent anticipation of will it light, will it burn teams will erupt if their rope snaps first. And I’ve heard…Blue Knights are #1 and Don’t You Forget it! But then I’ve also heard…Dragons are Dynamite, Don’t Mess with Dynamite! With strategy, practice and the aspiration to conquer, each team will contest in the daunting mountain relay. The Knights still put their swords up, and the Dragons still put their horns up. A mascot for the teams is important because it provides a shared pride for the group working towards a common goal…winning CW! Fictional knights and dragons are a part of fables, fairy tales and legends and for us, will provide a representation of two teams striving, as a pack, toward victory. We will stay true to the colors from Color War, because when color war first began there were no mascots, only colors. So What Are the Team Names? Wearing the Red and Black, YOUR RED DRAGONS!!! And representing the Blue and White, YOUR BLUE KNIGHTS!!! While transition is hard, the friendships, life lessons and team loyalty of this amazing competition will not change, because Color War is not based on a name, it is all about the people. I think of all the cheers, songs, t-shirts and designs that have changed over the years for Color War, yet the essence behind the competition will remain always…Īs we begin a new chapter in Highlander history, we will uphold the tradition of Color War with fierce competition, teamwork and unforgettable fun. The truth is, tradition by its very nature is supposed to evolve constantly and meet the changing requirements of time and social context. This decision did not come easily or without thoughtful consideration of the many years and deep tradition that these teams have had at Highlander. After much reflection, we believe it is no longer honoring our mission for our Color War teams to be named the Red Devils and the White Knights. At camp we always strive to make our mountain a more loving, accepting and kind environment. Most importantly, Color War, like everything else we do at Camp Highlander, is a way to live out our mission of One Love.Īs a leadership team, we often gather to reflect on our mission, our camp programs and their relevance to today’s campers and staff.

Lessons about how to work with others towards a common goal, how to lose with integrity and how to build each other up in moments of disappointment. Color War is about teamwork, competition and learning lessons. They give spirit to camp and allow us to share our summer with generations that have gone before us.Ĭolor War at Camp Highlander is one of the most cherished and loved traditions of our summer. Traditions have a beautiful way of connecting our past to our present and even the future that is yet to come. They are the constants that we expect year after year, offering comfort and reminding us that we are home at Highlander. Traditions are one of the great gifts of camp.
