****THE 2025 MKN OLYMPICS HAVE BROKEN****

The campers had a great sunny day of regular program. Perhaps they all felt it in the air that something big would be happening that night...

We started evening activity with an all camp game of The Price is Right! Four campers were chosen as contestants to guess how much the prizes that they could win cost. But suddenly, eight of the Senecas came out wearing Squid Games contestant costumes, and then ran off. Everyone realize the game had been a ruse and Olympics 2025 was breaking out.

Bunk by bunk, the campers were sent on a wild goose chase after the Senecas, until they eventually went up the hill, arriving at upper fields. They were then instructed to find a bag with their specific names on it. There were lasers and fog, and four different stages. Campers were then instructed to open their bags, put on the contents of their bag, and make their way to their designated zone. Each camper wore full body jumpsuits and a mask, so that everyone was anonymous.

Then, the Seneca captains had to play a mini game before racing to their groups to make their team. Eight figures then walked onto the field anonymously, and were matched with a Seneca Captain. These were revealed as the eight Decathelete Senecas. The Decathletes have to compete in ten Olympic events for their teams. Earlier in the summer, try-outs had take place to earn this athletic spot. Senecas who are not  Decathletes are captains, so all Senecas have an important Olympic role.

Each team's country was then revealed - we change the countries every year - and the Staff Captains burst out of a big box in the middle. The campers then saw from their bags what team they'd been assigned to and after teams were locked.

Everyone headed down the hill, and TJC/LSR went to bed while USR ccampers competed in the first event. The decathletes of each team had to do a standing long jump. Then, they moved over to basketball free throws. After that, each team’s USR and staff moved over to playing 3v3 basketball.
