February Break Camp Recap
The February Break Camp unfolded as a true testament to what happens when kids are given the space to move, grow, and challenge themselves. It was a week that blended laughter with learning, games with grit, and most importantly, it helped cultivate both physical and personal development.
A Perfect Balance: Fun Meets Fitness
The camp itself was a mix of playfulness and purpose. Kids participated in games like Zombie Tag, Floor is Lava, and Relay Races, designed not just for fun, but to encourage teamwork, strategy, and healthy competition. These activities weren't just ways to burn energy—they were moments where kids learned to communicate, collaborate, and push their limits.
Building Strength Through Technique
The real highlights, however, happened when the kids were guided through key movement exercises. There was a wide range of skill levels among the kids, especially in the older group, with some already experienced in weightlifting through our regular LTAD program. It was amazing to see those kids step up and assist the newcomers, offering guidance and support, which created a fantastic sense of teamwork and mentorship throughout the camp. We also went over fundamental movements with the younger kids. Squats, box jumps, and jump roping weren’t just drilled for the sake of fitness—they were broken down into precise techniques that gave kids the tools to improve their form and build strength. As the week progressed, it was clear: each child was getting more in tune with their bodies, and that connection to movement became a source of empowerment.
Truth Reps: Feedback and Leadership in Action
One of the more impactful techniques employed was Truth Reps, where kids offered feedback on each other’s form during exercises. It wasn’t just about correcting posture—it was about fostering a culture of constructive feedback and leadership. What was particularly rewarding was seeing shy kids find their voice, offering tips or encouragement to their peers. The simple act of providing feedback became a powerful exercise in building confidence, self-expression, and camaraderie.
Transformation Through Challenge
Perhaps one of the most inspiring aspects of the week was the transformation that took place among the kids themselves. Whether it was on the rowers, during a relay, or while perfecting their squat form, children who were once hesitant began to step up. They learned not just to conquer physical challenges, but also to cheer on and support those around them. It was a rare, enriching experience where competition didn’t mean outshining others—it meant lifting each other higher.
Looking Ahead to April Break Camp
This camp was a great blend of fun and personal growth, and that’s exactly what we saw throughout the week. As the children bonded over shared victories and challenges, they also discovered the value of pushing past limits, speaking up, and learning from one another.
As we look forward to April’s vacation break camp, there’s a palpable sense of excitement. We’re ready to take the next step in the journey, armed with the lessons and memories from February. The combination of play, physical development, and teamwork will only continue to evolve. For those interested, stay tuned for more details on how your child can be part of the April Break Camp.
