GAMES AND CONTESTS

Games of skill with your pet!

Hide and seek; Musical Chairs; Concentration; and other games that Jenny (shown above competing in the best sloppy kiss contest with Patience) dreams up!

Best Sloppy Kiss
This will be a timed event.  Yes - the prize goes to the dog who kisses his or her guardian the longest, without interruption!

Longest Ears
Floppy or straight up, doesn't matter; length does.

Shortest Legs
Easy, if you're a Corgi.

Go Long!
How's that eye to mouth coordination (the dog's, not yours)? If you toss it, can he/she catch it? Distance over form wins this contest.

Most Energetic and Most Laid Back
I'll be watching.  At the end of the weekend, I'll award prizes for these "best of camp" categories.

Best Trick
Have you and your canine companion come up with a unique trick, dance, conversation?  Show us!

Costume Contest
Like to play dress up? Too shy to strut your own stuff, but willing to have your dog show off? Great! Start creating now and pack your best doggie costume. The competition gets more fierce each year! The only limit is your own imagination and your dog's willingness to participate.

Limerick Contest

Create a limerick about your dog, or dogs in general; read it at the evening campfire.  Best limerick as determined by the audience wins a prize. Examples:

All the best dogs go to camp

And run up the agility ramp

     then dash to the beach

     and swim out of reach

Of those humans who hate when they're damp!

Camp dogs all go with the flow

And bask by the campfire's warm glow

     after all of the play

     during the long weekend's stay

They go home tired and moving real slow!

Let those creative writing juices flow! Let your dog inspire you!
