What is the Camp Challenge??
This summer, Camp Wingra is challenging YOU to get out on the lake every week this summer to complete a challenge. We have 8 easy and fun challenges to do while you are out on the water. If you complete the weekly challenge and share it with a boat house staff, you'll receive a FREE small novelty ice cream for each challenge. Complete ALL 8 challenges this summer, and you'll have your name but on a plaque on the boat house.
Pick up a Camp Wingra Challenge brochure at either Wingra, Brittingham or Marshall to get a stamp and keep track of all of the challenges you've completed.
This challenge is open to kids preschool through 8th grade.
Miss a week- don't worry... you can always make up a week (as long as you only do ONE challenge a day) but you cannot work ahead.
THE CHALLENGES:
Week 1 (June 19-25): BE A LAKE STEWARD Pick up (and return) 3 pieces or more of trash from the lake, or things that don't belong in the lake.

Why the Lake Challenge?
We know that not everyone is able to attend Camp Wingra, and if they do, it may only be for just one week of the summer. Our goal behind the Camp Wingra Challenge is to help get kids out on the water EVERY week. To create a healthy habit of getting outside, exploring nature, learning something new, and giving back to our lakes. We hope that you will encourage your child to join us this summer, and complete this FUN challenge.
