Olympic Fest, Parades, & Fireworks!

Yesterday, Service Team and Activity Staff put on Olympic Fest for all of our Res campers. With the gigantic slip-n-slide, 4-way tug of war, greasy watermelon and more it was a great time! Captain Olympus started off the Northwoods Olympics Fest with a parade, complete with costumes and candy. Everyone was so pumped to start the games, especially the "Bison", as you can see below. 

 The girls pictured below just came from the four way tug of war, where four ropes are tied together with intertubes on the ends. But, it gets trickier - the four way tug is on a tarp of water and soap, making it super slippery! The goal is to be the first to grab the little yellow ball on top of the cone, seen to the right.

We had so much fun playing in the sun with the Res campers! Service Teamers, who were a big help to make this day great, had fun as well. Olympic Fest is a break in their regular schedule, where they usually can be found working around camp or in the local area. 

This morning, Service Team went into Three Lakes to help represent HoneyRock with a couple of floats in the Fourth of July parade. They left early to get ready in town, and will stay after the parade has finished to walk the route and pick up trash. Tonight after dinner they will make their way back to town to watch fireworks (and maybe stop by Lick-a-dee Splitz?!) - we're convinced Three Lakes has the best fireworks show around!
