Last Badger Olympics for 2012

Our last Badger Olympics was Wednesday night. The weather cleared up just in time for the Olympics to be held outside. The counselors and campers were having a great time. A big thanks goes out to the Lancaster Knights of Columbus for coming up to help for the night and their donation to WBC.
