Yesterday the camp traveled to Water Country USA. The group was bright eyed and eager to get on the buses and head down to Williamsburg, VA. Just prior to 9am they loaded up and headed out for the 2.5 hour drive southeast.
It was HOT down there. What a great day to enjoy the park. As the mid-Atlantic’s largest water park, Water Country USA has 43 acres of pools, lazy rivers and water rides. The boys had a blast at “Rock ‘n’ Roll Island,” which features nearly 600 feet of body slides, a 700-foot lazy river and a 9,000-square-foot pool. Rock ‘n’ Roll Island celebrates the music of the 1950s and ‘60s – the era that all of Water Country USA is themed after. They also took a “cruise” down Hubba Hubba Highway, Water Country USA’s radical river adventure.
In the late afternoon, groups gathered at the many eating sites to enjoy dinner together. If they were lucky with time to spare, they were off to visit the candy store. Traditionally the campers flock to the candy store loading up on the all their favorites. By the end of the 2.5 hour trip back to Woodberry, the candy is gone and the kids are peacefully catching some zzz's on the bus.
I bet they all slept well last night. It was another successful trip to the water park. Hopefully they are all ready to go today. We will have some make up games during clinic time again. That means some teams could possibly play four games today. Fortunately we're expecting better weather. Only 90 degrees today! Can you believe we're thrilled about 90? Tomorrow a major cool down begins.... 80 degrees or so for the next several days after. Whew... we need it.
Many thanks go out to Coach Nick Hahnenberg for taking photos yesterday. Great job Nick!
