The Timberbat Waterski Club is one of the
many outlets for campers to enjoy themselves at camp.
The club was started about nine or ten years ago by Bruce Wynn,
because we has been watching the Minocqua-Bats for many years
and felt we could adapt this to our own camp, on a limited basis,
according to Director Harold Hiken.
Club directors Mark Abrahams and Mike Ukman, along with Randy Wynn,
head-ski advisor, organize about six shows per year. The main and
most important of these are two parents weekend shows. The
highlight of the show is the five-man pyramid, presently put together
by Maury Hecht, David Goodman and Josh Taxman holding Brett (Jock)
Samuels and Jeff Kollinger on their shoulders.
Other acts include Larry Fuhrer doing the shoe-ski act, which has him
doing an impressive back-swan on only one show-ski. Bob
Komisar, Ronnie Ravkind and Craig Glick comprise the triple slalom
shoe act.
Probably the most difficult acts are the barefoot run with John
Hanover and/or Joel Brazy and the backwards barefoot finale by Randy
Wynn.
