Camp Timberlane will try to improve
its second place finish of last year and finish first this year
in the upcoming Kawaga Ski Tournament.
The Kawaga Ski Tournament is skiing competition for camps and those
what will be there this year will be Camp Agawak, Camp Fiesta,
Chippewa Ranch Camp, Camp Red Arrow, Camp Jackpine, Camp Timberlane,
Camp Nicolet and Camp Kawaga.
Camp Kawaga will host the tournament for the second year -- and this
is also only the second year of the tourneys existence.
Last year Timberlane took second in the tournament. Skiing were Bob
Heilbronner, Mike Rolnick, Bill Fried, Robby Bond and Joel Brazy, and
new entrants Larry Fuhrer and Gary Garten. Accompanying the campers
will be Randy Wynn, head ski instructor, and skiier for the Min-Aqua
Bat Waterski Club.
I feel this years team is stronger overall than last
years, said Randy.We should come out on
top.
Each camp will send our five skiiers to compete in three events. The
events are trick-skiing, the skiiers will accumulate as many points
as possible by doing as many tricks as they can do in two
twenty-second passes. For slalom skiing, the skiiers go through a
slalom course and accumulate points according to the speed of the
boat and the number of buoys they round. Barefoot skiing involves
getting points by the start the skiier does, the number of wakes he
cuts, and whether or not he lifts a foot. The camp with the greatest
number of points between the top three finishers wins the
tournament.
The tournament is August 8, starting at 9:00 a.m. It lasts all
day.
