Land Shark!

For the past three years at camp, JT and his buddy D have played a game with the dreaded - but rare - Land Shark.  Land Shark is known to appear in Cape Cod, usually in the bay, and she claims ownership of the oceans for herself.  Most-often sighted in the month of July, she seems quite threatening, though observers of this rare predator suspect she has a soft-spot for little boys.  In 2008, those boys found that she was a fierce opponent.  But perhaps her bark was worse than her bite?

 In 2009, the boys were a little more well-equipped for taking on the Land Shark......though safe money was still on the Land Shark herself.  This is due to her swimming prowess and the fact that taunting, loud boys don't much frighten the Land Shark.

This summer, the boys were ready for the Land Shark and more than equal to the task of splashing her.  Despite the fact that these boys can no longer be described as "little", the Shark can still inspire a healthy dose of fear. 

 Which, of course, is the very purpose of this game.  It's one of the most-beloved traditions of camp, the Land Shark attack.  Thanks, Miss S.
