While the 10 to 13-year-old girls are having free time in their homeroom, a counselor for the 7 to 9-year-old boys peeks his head in and proposes a capture the flag rematch, which, of course, the girls accept.
The corners of each safe zone are marked with buckets, and a ball is placed in the middle of the zone, with jails being designated in opposite corners of the gym. When the whistle blows, each team, including the counselors, lines up against the wall and runs to the line in the middle. As they wait for the second whistle to be blown, the boys huddle up and chant phrases that change with each score, such as “Boys are better!”.
A few of the boys stay by the zone to guard the ball while the rest stand right behind the line, leaving fairly little space between them. Similarly, the girls stand behind the line except for the few who stay close to the zone, but they are a little more spread out than the other team.
Some of the boys tease the girls on the other team playfully by putting their foot slightly beyond the line and retracting it before they can be tagged. When the girls near the line notice there are boys who are not blocked and are looking to dash, they move in front to prevent them from running.
The boy’s team takes more chances at running than the girls; however, this results in more boys in jail. The boys and girls both score points and free their teammates from jail. Both teams cheer and celebrate when their team scores.
About halfway through the game, the 7 to 9-year-old girls arrive to watch from the bleachers. Eventually, after a close game, the boys finally win the rematch. They celebrate, and the teams exchange jokes and say “good game” before sitting in their places for an assembly happening shortly in the gym.
The campers put in their best effort and treated the rematch as a lighthearted, friendly competition to ensure they had a good time.
