Lake Week Planning

The planning for Lake Week took a great amount of time and effort, and involved most of the attendees. For 5 months leading up to the event, every aspect of Lake Week was discussed, including food, entertainment, costs, safety, timeframe, invited peoples, sleeping arrangements, lake week shirt designs, and transportation logistics. This was all done either during school lunch or in the Operation: Lake Week chat.

Notable events during this period included:

The council of two, which consisted of Will and Max. While the event was hosted at Tyler's lake house, Will and Max took the prerogative to plan much of the food and logistics during many late nite chats. Thus many of the decisions made by Will and Max were put into effect, such as having copious amounts of sausage, onions, and eggs.

The Lake Week Planner document. This shared google doc contained pages of flow charts that meticulously detailed the food and entertainment situation. However, much of the document was devoted to writing down hundreds of inside jokes and funny moments as ideas for the t shirt design.

The Lake Week Shirt 14 shirts were created for each of lake week's 14 members. Each shirt was plain white and black, and had a URL code, that, when scanned, directed the user to the Operation's now defunct subreddit. The back of the shirt said "Operation: Lake Week" and contained the member's designated nickname. The design for the shirt was a hot topic of debate, with many designs and nicknames being thrown around before the members ultimately came to an agreement.

The Nerfening Max came up with the idea of bringing nerf guns to Lake Week after he saw videos of popular Youtubers staging tactical combat sequences in remote vacation homes. The Operation members liked the proposal and plans were put forth to acquire guns and a shit ton of nerf darts. By the time lake week rolled around, everyone was armed to the teeth with high powered (and often modified) guns and collectively owned over ONE THOUSAND darts.
