Friday June 26

Whew! Friday was a hot one. It was by far our hottest day. The campers took it in stride though.

The morning games were played with enthusiasm and then it was time to break off into age groups for individual instruction. The groups that were indoors were definitely happy to be there.

Yesterday's lunch offering was the WFS "Rib-B-Q Sandwich". After enjoying an ice cream dessert the campers headed to their dorms for rest period.

Sign up clinics were offered in the afternoon. Strength training is one of the clinics again this year. There was a big crowd indoors for that yesterday. The campers are learning technique in order to build their "core" strength. This is such an important part of athletics and will help the kids tremendously when playing upper level sports. Having proper technique and knowledge will put them a step ahead of other athletes when they reach the high school level. Good core strength helps alleviate injuries. It's not easy though. Check out the blog pictures of the group holding their "squats"!

Thursday evening the fellas adopted a mascot. "Camper" the kitten was found abandoned outside of the Griffin dorm. He was quickly scooped up by the guys. One of our faculty families offered to foster him temporarily. This cute little guy needs a home!

Friday night would normally have been a "campfire night", however moments after dinner a storm came through. We were unable to play the evening games. The campers were held up indoors either at The Cage or The Barbee Center. By 8pm they were on dorm with emergency lighting and battery operated lanterns. They held their values meetings and then went to bed early. The power finally came back on at 11:10pm. After a sweltering day, these boys needed a rest, so we're thankful for that. The games will be made up this morning. I'll update this blog mid-day to bring you yesterday's scores. Tonight we'll head down to the campsite for the ceremonies. Today promises to be a beautiful one. Enjoy!
