Current Entry: Curling
Winter Camp XIX saw four teams take to the ice in an approximation of this Canadian sport. Plastic milk jugs, filled with water and frozen, served as stones until the sunlight began to melt them. The team of Dan Bollman, Tim Hunt, and Tom Ray, representing Calgary, triumphed over Winnipeg in the first round while Josh Davis' Boys of Belleville squad knocked off Alberta. The Canadian finalists made quick work of their American foes in the championship bonspiel, icing a shutout victory.
At Winter Camp XXII, the game returned as part of Canada Day, but not without controversy. Big Bro had promised to cast curling stones for the game, but failed to deliver. Fortunately, Ron Donohue had foreseen this possibility and brought a set of bocce balls, which substituted for stones nicely.
