Challenging limits at Winterfest

Take out a dollar bill, and hold it vertically. Now imagine an opening 3 feet wide and as tall as your dollar. Could you fit your whole body through?

That’s the challenge facing Venturers and Explorers who have entered the Squeezebox competition, one of 70 events at the annual Winterfest in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. These teens will compete in law-enforcement, firefighting or outdoor-skills events where the best take home awards. But win or lose, everybody gets to hang out with new friends and test their limits.

Take a look at photos from Winterfest below, and find out more about the event in the December 2014 issue of Boys’ Life magazine.
