Team Camp, Week 2

Week Two of Team Camp held more conditioning, of course, but there was more working on the skills necessary for moving up to the next level. From the upper level optionals to the youngest Level 5s, the new skill requirements pose a serious challenge. This was the week to start the scary stuff.

On the lighter side, the skit theme this week was "Infomercials". The teams treated us to: Zit Zapper, Walk-No-More Shoes, Book-Reader-Box (shown in photo), and Scare-Free (now in aerosol cans!)-- just what you need if those next-level skills have you all scared.

It was a very hot summer week at the gym. The pool breaks were especially welcome.

Team Camp, Week 1



The first week of Team Camp is usually a bit tough. All that conditioning and drills? Came as a bit shock after two weeks off. However, by the end of the week, most of the sore muscles were tough again. Let the working on new skills begin!

This first week wasn't all drills and flexibility routines. At the end of the day, there was the pool to relax in. That was especially nice during the 90 degree days at the start of the week. On Friday, the girls put on their skits. This week had a fairy tale theme. In the photo (thanks Gail!) you'll probably spot 3 pigs and 7 dwarves. The other characters need a bit more explaining. Once upon a time, there was much silliness...
