Summer Camp 2011, part 2

From Marcus D.:
The Award for the most organized camp site is (currently) in our hands.
It is a golden plunger. The boys decided to dress it up a bit before they bring it back to the whole camp tonight.

Here are a couple of photos from camp.

Looks very neat and tidy: award-worthy?

And the boys likewise look fairly neat and "presentable!"
