Cabin night is a night when, instead of having dinner in the lodge or in the grove, cabins go to fire pits around camp and cook hot dogs and, of course s'mores for desert over an open fire. Sometimes, as a special treat, the boys will get a soda with their meal. Cabin Night used to be a weekly event but now it happens every other week, starting in week two, during the season. Cabins in Lower Camp usually pair up for cabin night to save fire pits.
The food used to go out to firepit sites in camp wannigans but over the years the wannigans have fallen apart and there are now too many cabins. Now the food goes out in a common milk crate. Each crate has a label with the cabin name on it. The crates are normally stocked with hotdogs, rolls, condiments(usually a little of each in a paper cup or in plastic squeeze bottles), Hershey bars, graham crackers, marshmellows, drinks (soda, juice or milk), and of course a garbage bag. After flag-lowering one member of each cabin was sent to the kitchen to get their cabin's crate.
For Evening Activity the cabins choose with their counselor what they want to do. Most Cabin Nights everyone gathers down on the waterfront for a swim or some will kayak out to Seal Rock, sail, canoe, whatever. There have been summers where every Cabin Night the Eagles and Buzzards guys will compete cabin against cabin in a game on the field, usually baseball, basketball or soccer. Orb is also played often, usually by Lower campers.
