For the first time in recent history, rain hit King's Dominion - lot's of rain! The guys hung in there and made the best of it.
Teams took advantage of the hit and miss showers and ran to the rides they really wanted to get on. The upside of going to King's Dominion on a rainy day? Low turn out... there were no lines - the campers got right on - over and over again!
Some of the favorite rides include Drop Tower. This thing drops you 272 feet at 72mph! OMG... They love it.
King's Dominion is situated on 400 acres just north of Richmond, VA. It's filled with thrill rides, attractions for little ones and a water park. The water park didn't get much use yesterday. The list of Sports Camp best rides of all time include; Intimidator 305, The Dominator, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Anaconda and The Hurler (what a name).
The campers and their "drafted leaders" didn't let the rain get them down. They had fun in the game section and inside the arcades. There were plenty of prizes won and most of them were able to come him with the guys. If the prize got too big - Coach encouraged them to "donate" to a needy child they met in the park.
By the time the camp arrived back on campus it was bright and sunny. They still had smiles on their faces and of course bags of candy in their hands. The day was a success and all slept well last night. Today promises to be bright and beautiful. We're blessed, because we need to get a lot of games played today.
Today's lacrosse game is for the championship. The Ohio State Buckeye's take on The Cavaliers of Virginia. In the afternoon session Penn State and Ohio State meet up for the Softball title. It's going to be a great day. Have a good one!
