Ck brings back the hippie days, with one of its' most popular activities- tie dying!
			So, how does one end up with a beautiful creation like this one right here? It's easy.
It all starts with a 100% cotton white t-shirt.
			Campers let it soak in a bucket of water and soda ash, to retain color.
	After 20 minutes in the bucket,  campers wring their shirts out and can start!
			The technique to make a spiral tie dye is quite simple, all you have to do is pinch the shirt in the middle and twist it, so it turns out like...
...this!
		Campers rubber band their shirts differently, depending on what kind of design they want.
		Next comes the color!
	When the shirt is completely filled with color, some campers like to squeeze their shirts so that the colors seep closer together and there is less white on their shirt.
Then, they unwrap the shirt from the rubber bands and admire their beautiful creations!
			Special thanks to our Team B staff assistants who work extremely hard to refill the bottles so that tie dying is possible!
