NIGHTGAME!
One of the funnest parts of going to DVRC
are the nightgames. These are games that are played after chapel
each night in which campers are unaware of the game throughout the
day till it actually happens at night. The most popular of these is
Mission Impossible in which campers and counsellors
compete.
