What is Color War?

Color Wars is one of the most anticipated and memorable traditions at many summer camps. It's a multifaceted event that typically spans several days, bringing an explosion of energy, enthusiasm, and healthy competition to the campgrounds.

Campers of all ages are divided into teams, each represented by a color, and they compete against one another in a wide array of activities. Color wars is a time-honored summer camp tradition that helps campers develop teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship skills as they encourage each other toward victory!

Color Wars Games

Every camp will have different sports, games, and activities for their color wars competition. Campers can expect to compete in a wide variety of different events like:

  • Tug of War
  • Relay Races
  • Dodgeball
  • Swim Races
  • Canoe Races
  • Pie Eating Contest
  • Egg Toss
  • Archery Competition
  • Rope Climbing
  • Chess Tournament
  • Spelling Bee
  • Ping-Pong
  • Flag Football

While campers are cheered on to do their best in color wars it is always in the spirit of healthy competition and a celebration of every camper’s skills. Often summer camps will give out winning badges or ribbons to the different teams for their highest-scoring events.

Color Wars Gear

Of course, part of the color wars is teams wearing their colors! At Everything Summer Camp we have color wars shirts, socks, and bandanas for every camper to celebrate their team while they compete.
