Camp Week 4: Finale

This last week of the summer camp saw many skills being honed. For the compulsory levels, this was the week to pin down the skills for the next level. Coach Paul has developed a first pass at the team lists. For the optional levels, there is still a couple months before competition, so optional teams are less set. For this week, however, it was still time for fun too. There were contests and challenges. This week's teams were: XYZ, Wouldn't-You-Like-To-Know, Say-Whaaat? and Hiya-David-M-N-O-P-Slippery-When-Wet-Lather-Rinse-Repeat-Padiddle-Padaddle-Padoink. This last team not only takes the prize for the longest name, they also won the week's competition. This week also had some added fun. The coaches got into the silly mood, dressing up as Flintstones and acting silly. The skits were to be news reports from the gym. Jamie recreated Jess's famous double-trip Beam mount. Kayla re-enacted her famous Grand Canyon Leap, for all those who didn't get to see it the first time. Allison acted out a "fisher cat" sighting. Ellie was a monkey on the loose. A hilarious end to four weeks of hard work.
Now we all await the beginning of the season. (with a diversion with the Olympics)
