The Olympics is a tribute to athletes, to sport and to fair play and honor. There is the chance that the camper you swim with this summer could become an Olympian. Maybe it is the kid who runs so fast they always are first when someone yells Popsicles. Well you have to have some incentive now don't you! Could a future Olympian be hanging out in the train after lunch or is that possible world class athlete biding time at camp while they wait for the return of all that snow?
There is so much info on the Olympics that its hard to look at just a bit. Wikipedia covers it pretty well with a few photos and some text divided by subsections. You can read about all or just a little part of the incredible history.

What is your favorite Summer Olympic Sport? It often has to do with an athlete whose personal story to attain the skills needed for Olympic competition have made them an instant celebrity. There are all those more obscure Olympic sports too, the TV stations just don't give them prime time coverage to allow a following to develop. Like archery, and the equestrian sports( the only sport where men and women compete on equal terms)
In 2012 the Summer Games will be in London all the pageantry and drama will come at us through every device the techies can muster and we will fill a couple weeks with Olympic Moments.
You don't have to wait though, come to Holiday Hill Day Camp in beautiful Mansfield, CT for a summer full of Olympic Sport!
