WE’VE GOT OLYMPIC SPIRIT – RED INDIA, GOLD IRELAND & BLUE ISRAEL

Posted on by Elissa

Today began like any other amazing day here at CAW. We played all day long but as 4th activity period started, the sound of the Olympics theme song played throughout camp. You could here the music from the Lake all the way up to Wiffle Ball and out of every corner appeared our Head Counselors dressed in their tracksuits and headbands. They stood united just outside of Arts and Crafts and waited for the last Head Counselor, Brian Leahy to arrive with our very own Olympic torch.  We all began the procession up to the Minor League Baseball Field where all of camp gathered for our opening ceremonies.

Each Head Counselor then took a moment and spoke about key components that are needed and necessary as we head into the next 2 days of Olympic Competition.  They are:

COMPEITION

SPIRIT

CAMRADERIE

TEAMWORK

SPORTSMANSHIP

DEDICATION

& HAVING FUN

Camp was split into three teams RED INDIA, GOLD IRELAND and BLUE ISRAEL and the spirit was insane. The chants and cheers began and it was off to our first Olympic battle, Tugs of War.  It was intense and the dedication was present. No matter if the team won or lost, there was support for the effort. True sportsmanship ruled today and it was an awesome sight.

It is not the end result we look for but the journey and how we get there that matters most. Everyone individual makes a team and everyone counts. We are entering these games wanting to win and playing them with respect and dignity.  To watch an entire camp give it all they got, to dig down deep and work towards a common goal is truly awe-inspiring.

Congratulations to all of our Campers of The Week. They deserved it and we are so very proud of them.
