color war

Summer camp rivalry

Color war is a competition at summer camps where campers divide into teams identified by colors and compete in athletic events, games, and challenges over several days.

The event typically marks the climax of the camp season, with elaborate rituals around team selection and fierce but friendly rivalry: Color war starts tomorrow—I hope I'm on the blue team.
