Skating at the Johnson Skate Park

Today's alternate session was skating at the Johnson Skate Park. Skating provides a great opportunity to use balance and moves similar to skiing. Moreover, it is super fun! The campers practiced their skills, as shown here by Danielle using quick knees like slalom turns. (Also seen here - some campers had GoPro's to video each other's moves!)

Some showed off their impressive jumps and tricks on the ramps, rails, and pipes.

All campers pushed their limits. Just like skiing, sometimes it's the mental aspect that holds one back more than physical limiters. It was great to see the campers trying moves and skills they hadn't done before. And most of all, it was great to see their smiles after. 

Next up: Skit Night!
