Ice Fishing Olympics

[guywhofishes]

My church group is hosting an event at Red Willow Bible camp in February. Everyone is welcome so let me know if you want more info!
The camp is a fantastic venue for faith, fellowship, and fishing. Except for the fishing consistency - some years it's a dead sea. Last year it was awful.

So I've been thinking about silly/fun games (wacky Olympics style) we might organize to make time on the ice more fun for everyone when the fishing blows. Does anyone have entertaining activity ideas for if/when the bite slows?

p.s. I read last year that Red Willow had very low oxygen according to NDGF. Did it winterkill? Did anyone catch fish there this summer???

I've played golf on the ice. Can be interesting and fun, dependent on the amount of snow on the ice. Scavenger hunt using compass directions and distances. Skiing behind horse instead of a boat? Has to be more with some discussion and thinking.

Is whiskey allowed? if I watch my language?

I thought that question would come up. As much as a guy would figure that's a great way to have fun, it's apparently frowned upon at events like this.

Broomball was always fun during high school in the winter, or Frisbee golf
