A Typical Day at the Trent Summer Sports Camp
It’s a typical day at Trent Summer Sports Camp. The popular summer retreat for kids aged (6 – 14) provides three options for the hundreds of campers who attend each week: Multi-sport, Adventure Sport and Explorers. In Multisport, days are filled with both instructional and recreational sport activities. Campers choose three primary sports to focus on during the session, each with a strong emphasis on sport skill development, fair play and teamwork. Daily swimming, intramural games, and counsellor group challenges provide lots of opportunity to meet new friends.
Adventure Sport is a highly-individualized program which focuses on team building and personal leadership through a great variety of outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, snorkelling, and intramural games. Campers plan and participate in a two-night camping trip. Erica and Taylor use the archery range and are very excited about the camp. As Explorers, they can choose from a variety of sports to pursue in the afternoon. Snorkelling and basketball are two of their favourite choices. Taylor chooses a basketball tournament and leads his team to a 20-2 victory, sinking four three-pointers.
Like so many of the youth that attend Trent Summer Sports camp, Cameron, who is also in the Adventure Sport group, really appreciates the opportunity to choose his activities. So far, his favourite has been body surfing. Trent Summer Sports Camp continues until August 22. In total, the camp will see 700 participants this summer. Posted August 6, 2003 |
