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 tennis, 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 entire camp and further. Events involving the entire camp are worth 5 points, others are worth 3. As of 2006, the Wams have won 42 seasons, while the Ags have managed 36, with one year being a tie. The Wams, a historically better team, are on a run of sorts, having won two of the past three seasons.
