Week One Badger Olympics One for the Ages

     For some campers, lighting the torch may be the most exciting part of Badger Olympics, for others, it's the obstacle course. Whichever way you look at it, the Olympics is one of the most exciting parts of the experience at Wisconsin Badger Camp.
     To start, the campers get in groups with their counselors, come up with awesome team cheers, and yell them loud and proud to let everyone know their team is the best. However, the "best" team is hardly a concern. While one camper competes in the obstacle course, not only is his/her team cheering, but the entire camp population is cheering. The sight is breath-taking, and their joy is contagious. 
     Campers can choose to participate in an obstacle course, a relay, a throwing event, or all three. At the end of all of the events, the campers gather over by the Olympic torch to get their ribbons of achievement, all while a counselor walks out in the Badger Bill mascot costume to congratulate the campers.
