One of the campers’ favorite optionals is to play some local multiplayer games on counselors’ Nintendo Switch consoles.
Â
We played Just Dance earlier in camp and at the Olympics on Saturday. In Just Dance, four animated characters dance onscreen to a popular song that plays over the speakers. Each camper who is participating holds a piece of the console that tracks their movements so they can score points for how well they replicate the dance. Four players can play at the same time, and it’s a great spectacle for those watching.
Â
Another great option with the same console is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It’s a game that many of the campers already play, but they love the opportunity to compete against their new friends at camp. We held a 16-camper tournament on Tuesday, and while we have some pretty skilled campers, nobody can quite compete with our head counselor Wade V. (More to come on that soon!)
