It wouldn’t be summer camp without a game of physically-distanced Capture the Flag! Create a team flag and hang it somewhere publicly accessible outdoors that is NOT at your home or yard. Post the GPS coordinates on the GISH App or social media so other teams can locate it. Then go find at least one other team’s flag and “capture” it with a photograph. (No actual touching or taking of the flag allowed.) Make sure to include your victorious self in the picture.
(STOP MOTION) Plant a “seed,” and using stop motion, show us something unexpected sprouting from the ground. – Cass

The Ballon d’Or, France’s highest football award, will not be awarded this year due to COVID shutting down the season for so many players. But that never stopped Gishers! So we’re awarding the Balloon d’Or – a contest pitting teams from every cabin against one another. Over Zoom, each team member must attempt to keep a balloon suspended in mid-air without clever edits and without touching it – breath-propulsion only, please. The GISH Team to keep their balloons aloft the longest will win the 2020 GISH Ballon d’Or. Submit your video with a comment stating how long the balloon was held aloft by your best player.
(STOP MOTION) Ever notice that just after the warranty expires, your appliances break? Well, it turns out that after years of diligent service without recognition or reward, your electronics and appliances got fed up and were ready to revolt. In fact, while you were away yesterday, all your home appliances were caught having a conversation in which they were plotting to strike and overthrow you, the homeowners. (Hint: the appliance doors opening and shutting, or levers going up and down could be their mouths opening and closing and you will need to add the voiceover.)
COLLABORATIVE. (UP TO ONE MINUTE) Carry on and on and on, wayward son! Using the provided backing track, record yourself singing along to Kansas’ classic anthem “Carry On Wayward Son” while holding a sign with your team name on it. You should have at least 5 physically-distanced people singing along with you — the more singers, the merrier.
Just because you and your pet are stuck home doesn’t mean you can’t take a holiday! Turn a cardboard box into one of those ‘tourist’ photo stand-in boards with holes cut out for you and your (willing) pet’s faces. Poke your faces through and pose for a photo op.
It’s easier to express emotion through song. Show us a heated argument between two people in which you are both yodeling, not speaking.
Skittles are harder to come by in a pandemic. Create a portrait of Jensen Ackles out of LEGO.
Reports have circulated that NASA recently discovered a ‘parallel universe where time runs backward’. Let’s see proof. Let’s see you performing your household chores backwards. You are not allowed to submit a video in reverse. It must be you actually doing a chore that would be nearly impossible in reverse. (For example, washing dishes but they progressively get dirtier, etc. but now you can’t use that).
