Day 1 - Camper Orientation

Rain, Rain, Rain...  It found us today.
But we're still happy.

The sun came out for a few hours through camp registration and camper drop-off, but as we were sitting down for dinner the clouds started looming again.  We were able to keep to the schedule for the most part, going through our camp intros, rules, and team building activities before dinner.


After dinner we had to adjust our schedule back slightly due to thunder,  but then we were off to the fields.  We like to use our first night to get our campers on their bikes to get used to some of the movements we are going to put into action tomorrow on the trails around Stowe.  Eric Barthold, our Director of Activities, did a great job mixing in a mtn bike obstacle course, an athletic game of speedball, and a ride down the rec path to a small ledge in the river for a swim.  Thunder returned and cut our evening short by fifteen minutes... but we'll be back out there rain or shine tomorrow.

Monday marks our first session with a featured coach.  Matt Maloney, former Director of Curriculum here at SDSC, will lead our introduction into Basic Athletic Stance.  While we prefer this to be on skates, the weather will dictate the surface and it will be just as productive and educational in sneaks. 

Please spread the link for the blog around to other parents.  I was surprised today how many didnt have the link or even know we blogged three times daily about our activities.  EVERYONE should share in the experience.

Here's to sun in our future,
Danny
