Badger Camp is a great way to get involved and volunteer. Each week camp has “Badger Olympics” where
campers play fun, themed games to go along with the week’s theme. This week was superhero week; the campers had
a Superman relay, a Flash relay, and an obstacle course.
Each
week a surrounding area Knights of Columbus group comes up to camp to cheer on
the campers, and they donate the ribbons that are handed out at the end of the
Olympics.
Cuba
City’s Knights of Columbus were a great group to have up at camp. They enthusiastically cheered on the campers,
talked to them, and got as involved as they could. They handed out the ribbons and held the
finish line ribbon at the end of the obstacle course, as well.
