Today is our final Trojan-Spartan games of the summer. Last Saturday, we initiated our new campers into one of two teams, or tribes: the Trojans (blue) and Spartans (red). We then have two separate camp-wide competitions. The first was Sunday, the second (and last of the summer) was today. I am sharing a few photos of a new event we created this year. Each team creates a line between the lake and the fire pit at the Coliseum, a distance of about 150 feet. The campers then relayed 8 ounce cups of water from the lake to their respective buckets in the fire pit. The buckets are each connected to a large wooden scale we created for this event. ![IMG_8887](https://blog.campchampions.com/hubfs/IMG_8887.jpg) ![IMG_8885](https://blog.campchampions.com/hubfs/IMG_8885.jpg) After 5 minutes of relaying (and sprinting), we got the dramatic result – a Spartan victory.
