180 Campers and 40 counselors descended upon Water Country USA. I hope the park was ready for our crew because our crew was ready for the park. There was so much excitement and anticipation at the morning meeting. The kids rode in style too. We hired tour buses for the two hour trek down to Williamsburg.
Before departing Coach had to go over some ground rules and the candy schedule. What's the candy schedule? Well, the candy schedule was created a few years ago when we found the need to create one. Sports campers traditionally would stop in the candy store at the end of the day causing a large back up. The store was unable to handle the pile up and the buses were always late departing for home. Stopping at the candy store was necessary though(?) The kids think they need nourishment on the way home! It made for a good story for a few years but now we have a schedule. Starting at noon, each team has an assigned time slot to hit the candy store. If you don't make your assigned time, you are out of luck. If you are one of the teams going early to the store, you are allowed to go back to the bus, deposit your stash and then go back into the park. It's a great system and has worked well for the last few years.
After a sack lunch in the parking lot, the teams went into the park. What a glorious day for the water park. The temps were in the low 80's. Monday is a light day at Water Country so it's the perfect time for us to bring our gang.
There are a variety of rides at this park. The kids enjoyed Aquazoid, Big Daddy Falls, Colossal Curl, and the Jet Stream just to name a few. One of my favorites is the Hubba Bubba Highway. This highway is a river type ride where you sit on a tube and just go. The water carries you and in the meantime you see a lot of the park!
I didn't go to the park this year, but Coach Colin Gay did and he was a good sport. He helped me out with photos and snagged some really good ones. Thanks Coach and Enjoy!
