Yesterday I just happen to stop by the football field as I was heading up the hill. I'm so glad I did. This group was divided into defense and offense to compete using the skills they've been learning. The group in the picture was the offense coming up with the plan. Ryan - the other coach Alexander - looked at me and said, "they don't even ask me what they should run"... meaning by now, they had their own plays, everyone agreed and they're just going for it! What a hoot... Well, they ran the play and it worked beautifully. They were so excited and showed it in only a way that ten year olds can. It was priceless. BTW, thanks for trusting us with your little guys. They are precious and we are so lucky to have such a group here this summer!
The counselors are assigned to these activities based on their experience. So, if a counselor is or was a wrestler at WFS or college, he would be assigned to wrestling skills. The campers have been rotated through these activities several times throughout camp. Today they will come together with the other campers in their age group for competitions. Each boy is tested in the skill. Ribbons will be handed out to the top campers in the age group. The boys will see these ribbons in their departing packets. Every boy is recognized as having improved in the skill. Our counselors and campers are excellent at providing encouragement and praise of each young man during these sessions.
The campers and counselors are looking forward to the change in activities today. This will take place over the next two days during our regularly scheduled individual instruction session. The rest of the daily schedule remains the same with interconference games, meals, rest period, etc.. Tonight will be our second campfire night. We're looking forward to seeing some great skits and presentation of the camper of the week awards.
Today promises to be another beautiful one. Temperatures are expected in the low 80's. Enjoy looking over yesterday's scores and have a blessed day.
