| Overview |
Ribbon Winning Events - In this camp we are not teaching any of the sports. We are going to divide the Campers/Olympians into age groups and then have them do various (simple) events, skills or drills related to the sport. To see examples of the types of ribbon winning events involved in many of these sports - Click Here. Campers/Olympians will be divided into separate, small, age and size related groups 8 to 10 campers maximum for each ribbon winning event. Multi sport events will be occurring at all times during the camp. It is planned to make each sport event a Olympian might be interested in competing in available over the five days for the Olympian.
Rain, extreme summer heat, and camper fatigue can all lead to a video
being shown at any time in our camps. Sample videos used include:
Sandlot, The Big Green, Kicking and Screaming. Like Mike, A Kid In King
Arthur's Court, Rebound, etc. |
