Giving it your All

11 days into camp and these guys are still giving it their ALL... Three games per day, individual instruction and clinics and our campers are as energetic as ever. They race up the hill at night to get to the Fir Tree.  I've heard more than one counselor comment on the energy level of this group. The counselors can hardly remember when they too had the same endless amount of pep. We're so proud of all of them. This is certainly a special group.

We had some great games again yesterday. UNC and Wake matched up well on the lacrosse field. The game remained tied at 4 until late in the 4th quarter when UNC scored 3 unanswered goals. That's lax for ya!
Texas Am is still improving on the gridiron. They continue to look for their first win in the football. Their players give 100% every play. They took on Virginia in the morning session. The Wahoos scored late in the final minutes of the game to go up 19-13.
With their endless amount of energy the campers are actively participating in their values meetings and earning Superman T-shirts. Like Coach Alexander told them yesterday, if they take anything home with them after camp, he hopes it's the values and lessons they've learned in their nightly meetings. He let them know that these are the things that will stay with them throughout life, not whether they won or lost a game during sports camp.

Tonight we'll host the second of three campfires. Four teams will perform their skit. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us this evening.
