Virtual Evening Forum: Kick Off the Summer with Pictionary Fun

Welcome to Camp W*K’s virtual evening forum —an exciting pre-camp tradition designed to bring our camp family together, spark creativity, and set the tone for an unforgettable summer. This year’s edition features everyone’s favorite Aussie, Owen Cavanaugh, leading a wild and wonderful night of Pictionary, laughter, and connection. Whether you’re a new camper, a returning family, or a curious sibling, this interactive Zoom event is open to all and it’s one you won’t want to miss!

What Is the Virtual Evening Forum?

Our virtual evening forum is Camp W*K’s way of saying, “Let the countdown to camp begin!” Before trunks are packed and buses roll in, we’re inviting families into a fun, welcoming online space where camp spirit shines bright.

Hosted live on Zoom, the event brings together campers, parents, counselors, and staff from all corners of the Camp WK community. Through a shared screen, we reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new friends, and celebrate the incredible energy that defines Camp WK.

At the heart of the evening is our featured game—Pictionary, led by the ever-entertaining Owen Cavanaugh. It’s fast, funny, and full of surprises. No drawing talent required, just a good attitude and a willingness to guess wildly!

  We’ll walk you through both options!

• Log in a few minutes early.
  Get settled and say hello before the drawing begins.

• Turn your camera on if you’re comfortable.
