Swingin' into Session 6

As usual the summer is flying by on what we like to call "Knock Around time," and we're already heading into Session 6! Session 5 brought a lot of good memories including the election of the first Knock Around Presidential Cabinet...Robot, X-Factor, Flash, and Dizzy! In a landslide victory the team delivered on their promises of 2 days of otter pops for snack, 1 day of rootbeer floats, a visit from the only known Southern California wild guinea pig, and a chain of fully clothed counselors doing belly flops! The excitement was evident in the days leading up to the election and especially in the days following the election!

Session 5 was also the Media session for leadership camp where they develop and perform in their own original movie. The Rock had a great time directing the campers through the various scenes of "I Dream of Knock Around". Movie scenes included A Dog's Life, Gorilla Invasion, Liam's Dream, and of course Crash's Nightmare. The film debuted on Friday in Center Hall to rave reviews, with all of Knock Around and many parents in attendance.

Session 6 is off to a blazing start with the introduction of KA's newest camp...DR DR CAMP!!! The week's scheduled events include Dr Dr Circuit training and skills courses, DrDr camp v. leadership battles, and of course lots of opportunities for all campers to play Doctor as we explore every version of the epic camp game.

Murmurs have also started to abound about the summer's most anticipated event...the Carnival!!! This years theme will be Western and it's sure to be a rootin' tootin' good time for everyone there!
