Winter Carnival 2013 was a blast for all involved. Events ran the gamut from the traditional - Polar Bear Run, Figure Skating, Skoro and Broom Ball - to some of the new favorites - Dodge Ball, Big Hill Relay and the Lip Synch contest. Share the fun with this film by Vermont Academy filmmaking instructor Conor McArdle ’06.
Congratulations to the Day Student Girls and Alumni 2 for their wins!
