Loras All Sports Camp

Connor and Carter, his cousin, had the opportunity to attend Loras All Sports Camp this summer. They were both winners of a scholarship that was offered through school. I was excited for them because I had worked camp for many years before having kids, so it was fun for me to go back and see some of the new changes and relive the memories!! They had a great week with great weather!! They attended the first week of camp which was June 19-24. This was there first experience of staying over night by themselves. They seemed to survive alright!

Connor's major was basketball, minor 1 was golf and minor 2 was baseball. He said he enjoyed all of them and learned a lot of other sports also they they would play with their huddle group. Both boys were on the Gold team!

Checking in (They were roommates also!)
The girls were excited to see his room and help him unpack.
The girls were busy all week also but were glad to see Connor again on Friday and I think Connor felt the same!!


Friday is camp Olympic Day where the parents have a chance to see their kids with their huddle group and compete in some activities.

The kids set goals for themselves for the work to earn. Connor earned the paddle and the brand of Love. There are certain rules they need to follow throughout the week to earn the paddle for the first time and then they can start earning the 8 different brands. This is a great camp that teaches a lot about sportsmanship and values.


Everyday ends with the kids yelling: "WHAT A DAY!!!"
