SEBRING --

Jamie Wilson, who is 8 years old, said she chose the Russian team "cuz it's big."

Jamie and 25 other children participated in the Kooky Krazy Kidlympics, a spring break camp offered by the Children's Museum of the Highlands. The children split into five groups that are identified by country. The week included games between the countries.

"We tell them they're playing, but they're learning too," said Linda Crowder, museum director.

Jamie said that she has met "lots of friends" and had a good time in the week-long event, over spring break.

Camp teacher Brenda Huggins said the China team won after Thursday's game at the city pier.

"But overall, Jamaica is ahead," Huggins said.
