COACHES CORNER
Jess: In reference to his cooking partner Henry, Cooper said, “I have the best stirrer I could ever ask for”
I loved watching Doug put coconut oil all over Kelley’s face as a moisturizer.
Doug asked the campers today during our nutrition talk “What does protein build?” and Aiden replied “CHARACTER!”
Lucy: I laughed at the Bungee station when Henry said to me “I pump irons that are thirty five pounds… I should be fine”.
I was inspired when coach Conor told the camper on the bungee that, “Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards.”
Tasha: My highlights of the day…
When Alli said, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.”
I loved when Chloe creamed all the boys in the obstacle course.
When Henry said to his partner Cooper in the obstacle course “Cooper we are a great team because you are amazingly good!”
Excitement was at an all time high when the campers watched the counselors run the obstacle course.
Zack: Henry followed all his partners on the obstacle to cheer them on at each element!
Doug: I loved hearing Ben H tell me that “I was so sore I had to roll out of bed instead of sit up or use my legs” and Ben B. say that “Even the muscle that blinks my eye is sore”. Aiden chimed in by telling us “I have soreness on my soreness”
Also, loved it at dish duty when Logan said, “I would do the dishes a lot more if I had a sprayer like this at home!”
