Camp Agawam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camp Agawam is a boys' summer camp located in Raymond, Maine. The full camper season lasts for 7 weeks. It plays host to the Annual Agawam Invitational Tennis Tournament, the Agawam Cup Sailing Series, and the Six-A-Side soccer tournament. It was founded by the Mason family and is currently owned and operated by the Agawam Council. Campers may attend until the age of 15. At 16, they are "Senior Club", and at 17 they are a "Junior Counselor". They become a full counselor for their 18 year old summer. The camp also plays host to the Ag-Wam competition and weekly Council. It is currently directed by "Chief" Garth Nelson.
[edit] Ag-Wam
The "Ag-Wam" competition is a summer-long event at Camp Agawam. The camp is divided into two teams, Ags and Wams. Throughout the year, Ags and Wams compete by age in events such as baseball, basketball, and soccer. Other events include volleyball, tug of war, scavenger hunts, sailing, track, base relay, swim relay, camping, and the closing event, the Pony Express. The Pony combines all aspects of athletics and knowledge into a giant relay race spanning across the whole camp and further. Events involving the entire camp are worth 5 points, except for the Pony, which was expanded to 6 points this year because the possibility of a tie arose; others are worth 3.
