Category: About Camp

A great start today. All activities were in motion.

I got to watch an amazing soccer game after drills. Lax majors were working on stick handling, speed and accuracy in shooting.

Hockey majors got their lockers and were on the ice. Coach Ward was out there observing and demonstrating different drills. I heard there was really hard skating.

The rink was the place to be today. This was the hottest day of the summer. Happy to hear it’s going to cool off this week.

At the lake one of our campers demonstrated a canoe over canoe rescue. He won the lily pad of the day!! This drill can be watched on U Tube. Very impressive.

Line up is before dinner. This is where the camp gets to hear “shout outs” The campers are applauded for their accomplishments. We heard quite a few today.

A full day of color war competition. Warrior’s and Black Hawks played in their respective age division. They rotated between hand ball, soccer and basketball. I was amazed to see how a hockey major handled the ball on the court. These guys are truly all round athletes.
The final event this afternoon was a three on three half court played by the team captains. The entire camp watched and cheered their captains on.

The weather was perfect for a cook out. After dinner there was a full camp scavenger hunt.

Black Hawkes and Warriors will sleep well tonight and they cheered to have an extra hour sleep tomorrow morning.

We are in full swing with color war. A brief wrap up:
Baseball did a ground ball knockout followed by a game of wiffle ball.

Soccer did games and drills, one of which was a juggling competition between the two teams. The winner managed to juggle 115 times consecutively winning for their team.

Basket ball was a full court relay which the campers had to do push-ups to layups.

Hockey players were shooting for speed and accuracy.

Lax majors were scoring points for shooting accuracy.

In the afternoon there was a cook-off, banner making, and a jeopardy contest. Rookies, pros, and senior rotated to all three events.

At the end of the day their was only one point difference. Don’t ever remember scores being so close.

As I am writing the buses from Fun-town Splash-town just pulled in. The campers were all charged up. Talking about their favorite rides etc.. The counselors on the other hand looked exhausted. I’m sure everyone will sleep well and appreciate a late wake up.

White Water Rafting just called they will be back safe and sound shortly. They had an amazing adventure. Great time had by all!!!!

Tomorrow we have several campers going out to a tennis tournament. At camp the color war games will begin. Stay tuned.

We had an amazing Monday, Majors were in full swing. As a matter of fact that’s exactly what was happening at baseball. Major were in the cage getting instruction on their swings.

Senior hockey majors suited up in whatever. From no jerseys to sunglasses. They looked funny, but in no way did that carry over into their skating.

Eleven and under campers were out of camp. We had basketball and soccer tournaments.

There were worms to go around and plenty of fish coming out of the lake.

At line up we heard every-ones accomplishments and there were many.

As you read this blog …….. COLOR WAR HAS BROKE

A picture perfect day at BSC. Hockey majors took over the lake this morning. Free swim at the lake.

Our 15 and under campers went to a basketball tournament. It was a buzzer winner!!!! They lost in the finals but played hard and made us proud.

Hockey skated hard this afternoon. They rotated in five stations with a shoot out in the end.

Campers cheered to be having a movie night. This Sunday campers definitely will be taking advantage of lazy bones Sunday. They played hard all week.

A picture perfect day. The 13 and under basketball campers left first thing this morning for an inter-camp tournament. There were tryouts for an upcoming baseball game this afternoon.
We are making bull-eyes in archery, catching fish in the lake, getting up on ski’s, celebrating camper birthdays, and capturing the flag for an evening activity.

Big sports day at BSC. I spent the morning up on the fields. I never expected to see Coach Ward on the field with hockey majors. They were doing dry land training. Amazing drills and the if the boys keep it up they will surely see an improvement in their strength and endurance.
In baseball the campers were timed for a 60 yard dash, followed by a game of outfield knockout.
In lacrosse followed by some stick work drills, the campers got their shots timed by a speed gun.
This afternoon we hosted a basketball game against another camp for 15U campers. We played extremely hard and the crowd was going crazy the whole game. The team fed off of the energy from the crowd. We lost the game 52-46 but the campers had a lot of fun.

A great day on and off the fields. Majors and minors were in full swing. Just our baseball majors were out of camp today.

Everybody has been waiting patiently for this evening. The Wolverine Den was transformed once again into The BSC casino. Staff was dressed for the occasion. From bouncers, dealers, to cocktail waitresses. We had cotten candy, popcorn, soft drinks and more. There were games to suit all gamblers. Campers were each given camp money and off they went to try their luck. We even had a high roller game of poker up stairs. Winners will be anounced at lunch tomorrow and prices will be given to the big winners.

Good Evening Parents,

There is a lot happening in the second week of camp. Everyday we have different age groups coming here to or we are leaving to play at other camps.

This morning the rookies left camp to play in a kickball inner-camp tournament. We lost all 4 games and decided this is not a major at Bridgton. They are still trying decide if they should include kick ball as a minor next yr.

This afternoon we hosted a 13 and under basketball game. No problem here. Final score 52 to 35. Our players were amazing. Great shots and defense was right on.

The 15 and under boys left camp for a street hockey game. The game was 2 all and was called for rain. Looking forward to a rematch.

That rain gave Koop the chance to see if anyone wanted a bingo.

While all this competition was going on we still had a full schedule going on here.
