After a good nights sleep, the campers awoke to a great warm-up session lead by Eric, where they prepared themselves for today's activities. This morning the younger kids were in the field with featured coach Stever Bartlett from Middlebury College, while the older kids headed over to Johnson Skate Park.
The skate park is always one of the campers favorite parts of the week. The park has come a long way in the past few years and the town of Johnson has done a great job taking care of the facility. We feel that the skate park is a great way to try some new things, work on balance (today's theme) and have a lot of fun at the same time. There are a lot of valuable skills that are learned rolling around the skate park, and we are able to apply them to skiing, which helps tie it all together at the end of the session.
The highlight of the morning was counselor Justin Sperry with his big airs, and sweet mini ramp tricks. It was great for the kids to see him skating around and Justin did a wonderful job helping get the kids comfortable on some of the elements in the park.
Lunch time again, look for Danny's post this afternoon where he will fill us in on Stever's sessions. Hope all is well, we are sure having a BLAST!
