ORCA Summer Camp #1!!
WOW!! What an incredible week it has been!! With 12 swimmers at our first EVER Orca Summer Camp, we wanted to share a couple things that have been going on, a few pictures, and everyone’s favourite parts of camp this week.
Coach Olivia, with the help of Coaches Ryan and Rhys, have been leading the kids through two informative swim sessions, a couple outdoor games-based dryland sessions, and even a bit of in depth technical stroke learning each day. We had camp members from our Junior Orca Pods all the way to some of our younger Age Group swimmers. Please enjoy the goofy pictures and videos attached!
When asked what their FAVOURITE parts of the camp, these are the responses we got from the camp kiddos:
- Emmerik: “The team event games, especially capture the flag”
- Liam: “Free time!”
- Little Isla: “Going outisde!”
- Emmerson: “The relays in the water”
- Tia: “Hanging out and water balloons”
- Claire: “Water balloon fight, dives with Bea, and hanging out with everyone”
- Kendra: "Hanging out with everyone and the dive chain”
- Yaniv: “EXACT same as Kendra’s”
- Big Isla: “Avengers edit and dryland”
- Vivian: "Bea helping me with dives, the avengers video, and hanging out with friends”
- Nolon: “Diving for toys in free time"
We also asked our leaders to name their favourite parts:
- Coach Olivia: “the Team Building!"
- Coach Ryan: Being an awesome coach (Ryan was out of town today, so we are writing it for him:))
- Coach Rhys: “The Dryland games, especially Bacon"
- Coach Bea: “Helping everyone"
If you have kids interested in attending any of our remaining camps this summer, please DECLARE for the events ASAP!
Reminder: if we don't have enough registrations for our next few weeks, we won't be able to run them! So please, sign your kiddos up and get them to bring a friend! As long as they can safely swim across the pool, we have something for every skill level from Junior Orca Pods to our 12&U Age Group swimmers! Check out Week #2 and Week #3 (open to swimmers ages 6-12) as well as our recently announced August Camp, open to all Sub: 4min 200IM Swimmers. DECLARE NOW!!
Looking forward to next week!!!!
