Midnight Madness

A giant scavenger hunt around multiple towns.

Midnight Madness

People wait all year for this night. It is one night in week six of camp. A bunch of staff makes teams and each team puts in $40. Each team has to think of a costume idea, the more creative the better, and dress up on this night. i have only been working at camp for two years so this was my second year doing it. It is honestly the best night of camp. My first year I was in a group with lifeguards and we dressed up as the breakfast club but we called ourselves the lifeguard club. This year my team dressed up as Mario Kart. We used little bikes and tied balloons on them and made our own costumes. Other people dressed up as toy soldiers, trophies, ghost busters, olympic ping pong team, barbie dolls, a lot of them are super creative!

Midnight Madness is a giant scavenger hunt that takes place on a Friday night. The hunt starts at nine and ends at midnight. You have to drive all around a few different towns figuring out the clues.

Last year at the beginning of the hunt we got a giant list of clues and we have to drive around and figure out what the clues meant. We had to go to certain places and take pictures of certain things or bring stuff back to the judges. This year it was like the amazing race. We have route info and detours and when we got to our destinations there were road blocks. Almost all the destinations were staff homes and we had to do fun activities really fast. For example, we had to kick our shoe into a houlahoop, move ten skittles across the room with a straw, drink an entire slurpee and a bunch of other random activities. We also had to bring extra things back for bonus points. Some were riddles like "I have a neck with no head, but i wear a cap' (a water bottle) and 'I have a ring but no fingers" (a phone) so we had to bring both of those back. We also had bring back things like two pictures, one before puberty and one after, a towel, a leaf, a buy one get one coupon, a book with a verb in the title and a bunch of random other things.

Some of the detours also included some video making. We had to create our own olympic sport and video us playing it (my team did hair braiding), create a cheer for our camp tribal teams, sing the camp birthday song to a stranger, propose to a stranger, ask a stranger for some of their food at a restaurant, trick or treat at a strangers house and so many other embarrassing things!

The top three teams (costume points and points from the clues) get a cash prize! It is such a fun night. So many people participate and everyone gets really into it! I highly recommend people do this at school or work or just with your friends. It is definitely a night you will remember.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
