Do boys gossip? Really?!

On camp we have two areas used as retreats – the fire pit and the IT tower. The boys like to head up to the fire pit, mainly after dinner. It has been heard that the girls in camp are curious about what occurs up there “Hmmm... are they gossiping? What are they plotting?” Soon the curiosity got too much for Bianca and Laura, and they decided to intrude on the boys private sanctuary and test their stealth skills.

The girls managed to sneak up the hill into hearing distance of the pit successfully and crucially without detection. The answer to their question... of course boys don’t gossip! All the sneaky senoritas overheard was movie-quotes, jokes, football and a humorous exchange of post dinner flatulence. However this act of intrusion by the girls could result in the “boys chats” evolving into prank preparation against them. .. when I say could, it already has!

Three weeks in and the boys are always looking for new ways to fill their free time. Can you imagine what happened when John got out his hair clippers? Of course you can – some truly butchered heads. Leeron acquired a kickass Mohawk, Rob a disgraceful mullet, Benny and offensive double Mohawk and James an attractive racoon cut! Perfect! You have to ask yourselves, if the boys are prepared to do this to themselves for amusement, what do they have in store for the ladies... TO BE CONTINUED.
