Week 1 of the Boys & Girls Clubs Summer Sports Camp has just wrapped up. Youth athletes received a Personal Fitness Journal and defined their baseline “personal best” sport numbers.
Throughout the summer athletes will work towards a goal of setting new personal bests by the end of camp. Every sports camper was measured in broad jump, sit ups, push ups, jumping jacks and flexibility.
Once the initial measurements were made, it was on to the competition. Other things that were recorded in their fitness journals include: their resting heart rate, favorite games that were played, and the scores to each game.
During week 1 of Sports Camp, campers were divided into two separate teams. The teams then came up with a team name and cheer. All games and challenges were played against one another in an effort to earn points toward a team total. With an emphasis on “teamwork” sports camp is designed so that there are no captains of the teams.
The children were encouraged to work together and utilize every team members strengths. Campers also exercised their brains with the help of the Teen Camp and the Teen Camp Director Ms. Marguerite. After a week of competition including sports games, “Minute-to-Win” it, and mental challenges…Team Sports Agency edged out the Silver Titans to take the trophy until next weeks champion is crowned.
As a nice break from the fierce competition, Sports Campers visited “Vertical Rock” where they were introduced to a whole different type of exercise, Rock Climbing. After receiving some professional instruction, the campers attained new heights as they over came their fears and reached the top of the wall. The week wrapped up with a few awards that were voted on by the campers themselves. Here are a few notable winners:
Future LeBron: Rock Loving
Future Athletic Director: Christian Sandaval
Future President: Abby Morris
Camper of the Week: Adam Corbett
Coolest Camper: Mr. Mike
