The biggest announcement on the board is one from Herbert:

HELLO CAMPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has come to my attention that there are rumours of a so-called BIGHAND circulating around the camp. Indeed, BIGHAND has been a rumoured figure in Appalake District history. While BIGHAND's existence has never been confirmed, many individuals have testified to seeing BIGHAND in the woods near Camp Ohiocester. Should you be interested in perusing the transcripts of interviews with these individuals, please let me know.

I wanted to let all of you know that if you believe you have seen BIGHAND, you should report the sighting to the PodgeLodge immediately. FEEL FREE TO DO SO AT ANY HOUR OF THE NIGHT! IT IS NEVER AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME TO REPORT A BIGHAND SIGHTING. BIGHAND may pose a danger to our community if BIGHAND feels threatened, so it's important that you let me know right away so I can keep everyone safe and fully record your testimony while it's fresh in your mind as developing a clear record of BIGHAND sightings is crucial to local research efforts regarding BIGHAND which…

HELLO CAMPERS.

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO “THROW” A “PARTY” POTENTIALLY INVOLVING “ALCOHOL” [?!?!?!?!?!?] AT LAKE NELL EARLIER THIS WEEK. WHILE WE HAVE MANY EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES AT CAMP OHIOCESTER, ALCOHOL PARTIES ARE NOT AMONG THEM. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ALCOHOL PARTYING [OR DRUG PARTYING] WHILE AT CAMP OHIOCESTER. BIRTHDAY PARTIES ARE OKAY !!!!

Below another announcement is stapled:

SAFETY NOTICE:

Hello. I'm Ryder your Safety Advisor.

What you have been doing at the lakeside and around the camp violate many protocols. For example, protocol 203.A states that “Alcohol is forbidden on all camp premises.” Now as the party was on camp property-

The letter goes on for a bit too long, listing almost incomprehensible protocols and why you should take more care and prioritise safety. At the bottom is another announcement, however, this one has been scrawled on a post-it note:

Whoever is responsible for my damaged OSHET manual - you will be discovered.

Also a completely unrelated reminder: you need to ask permission for pets at camp.
