Newsletter Week 6 Chicago

Dear Game On! Chicago Families:

 

What a week it was!!! Water Wars, Carnival Day complete with DJ and dancing, all-camp cage ball, on top of sports-filled days. Can we ask for anything more? It just doesn't get much better.


 

We will be posting video of all our teams performing their Game On! spirit songs. The creativity, choreography, and Game On! pride were beyond impressive. Stay tuned

  

To enhance your feel for our week, view our video and photos and please read on. And remember calendar previews and reminders are summarized below so don't stop short.

CLOSING CEREMONIES ON FRIDAY AUGUST 8 - PARENTS, SIBLINGS, GRANDPARENTS, FRIENDS INVITED

 

Note: All 2014 campers and their families are welcome - campers do not have to be registered for this final week to attend

 

We like to end our camp season by inviting parents, grandparents, etc. to attend our closing ceremonies. We start off by inviting you to observe abbreviated typical sports stations from 1 - 1:30 in order to give you a sense of how we structure our mornings. We then invite you to our awards ceremony until about 2:30, followed by our NUT FREE sweet treat table compliments of our campers who wish to contribute baked goods (store bought or homemade and please know that contributions are optional). 
* Please park in the back lot or on surrounding side streets as per usual.

CAMPERS OF THE WEEK:

 

It is with great privilege and honor that we introduce to you our Campers of the Week, awarded to campers who display the attitudes and characteristics we emphasize each day at Game On! including though not limited to Effort, Sportsmanship, Leadership, Heart and Spirit that goes ABOVE & BEYOND:


 

Natalie Post

Cosette Benjamin

WEEK IN REVIEW: 

 

Skills of the week included:

 

Tennis: 

Volleyball: 

Basketball:                                  THIS WEEK OFFERED A REVIEW OF ALL SKILLS

Softball:                                       LEARNED OVER THE PAST 5 WEEKS

Lacrosse: 

Soccer: 

Fitness: 

 

Yes, we challenged the more advanced to go that one step further. Yes, we worked closely with the many who had not yet learned. Yes, we permitted all the opportunity to feel progress, thereby increasing confidence and a love for the game. 

 

Finally our Healthier Me topic and discussion revolved around being respectful of others. We are trying hard to encourage campers to become sensitive by thinking first about how they would feel if the roles were reversed. Think before you speak; think before you react. THINK FIRST. It feels good to be gracious and nice!

 

As always, if you think this week was great, JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK!
