Tough Losses and Great Wins!

The campers have really learned a lot this week about handling adversity and success. Yesterday UNC went down in the first round of games. Notre Dame outscored them in softball 4-2. It was a great winning streak while it lasted. They held it together the rest of the day and came back to win their last two games. Notre Dame however couldn't pull themselves back together after the big win. They took it on the chin in their remaining two games.

Although the USA World Cup team couldn't pull off a win, the campers and counselors still enjoyed watching the game. Groups gathered in various areas around campus to check it out. The rest and cool air was a welcome mid-day treat.

Last night we were able to get back to camping. Did I mention earlier in the week that storms had damaged our tents beyond repair? The storm that ripped through brought high winds and hail. Although brief it really made a mess of the campsite. We were able to replace the tents and the site was ready to go. Penn State and Miami enjoyed a night under the stars while feasting on weenies and smores.

Today is sleep in day! The camp cheered during yesterday's morning meeting when Coach Alexander let them know they would have an extra hour to sleep in today. Everything until lunch time is pushed back an hour. We'll start the day with a warm healthy breakfast and then come together for fellowship on the steps of the Dick Gym. We're looking forward to some inspirational words from Coach Stowers and Coach Ryan Alexander.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.... Tomorrow is a special day at the camp... check out the blog on Tuesday for details!
