First Day of Camp!

What a great Opening Day! After preparing for so long it was great to finally have the kids arrive.

After a group stretch in the gym, we split into five groups and headed into the Eliteam Woods. Each group had five challenges. 1) The Triangle- get your team of 9 around the suspended wires, working together to help everyone balance. 2) The Nitro- imagine 9 kids swinging over to a 2x2 platform and trying to all balance on it. 3) The Spider Web- passing 9 team members through the spider's web without touching the web or dropping a teammate! 4) The Ladder of Doom- use the tools you are given to get your team over a 5ft wall. 5) The Boot Race- big boots and lots of piggy-backing!

Next came the Obstacle Course, which parents will see on Saturday. One inspection run, then one race run. Fifty seconds of anaerobic fun! … 5 steps, 7 gates, 8 bunny hops, 3 hulas, 1 swing, 14 tires & 1 log jump. Memorization is key.

After a pasta load and salad fix, it was back to the field for agility work. High knees, grapevine, jumping and more. That was followed by relay races involving balloons, bandanas, and Mad River Rockets. Finally it was relaxation time on the soccer field while the sun set. 50 kids quiet, lying down, focused on their breathing, and reliving the day in their minds. Awesome.

On tap tomorrow- Ropes courses & leg routines in the morning. Cooking, dancing and more obstacle action in the afternoon. Rock Wall at night. Can't wait.
