BUTLER TWP — The New York GOATS, Dino Nuggets, Hot Penguins and Savannah Bananas are taking over Camp Alameda this week, rain or shine, as campers enjoy the summer fun that Alameda Olympians has to offer.

Campers were divided into teams for the weeklong sports-themed session that began Monday, July 10, and selected the team names themselves.

On Monday, The New York GOATS dominated in a foot race, with the Dino Nuggets coming in second. The GOATS remained on top Tuesday as campers emerged from the sandpit in a variation of volleyball called Nuke ‘Em, and points will continue to be tallied until a champion is announced on the last day of Alameda Olympians on Friday, counselor Maddy Albert said.
