Ben had a totally awesome week at Rockclimbing camp. It was completely physically challenging and exciting. It was a small group led by two great guys from Lifetime Fitness. It only met for 2.5 hours on MTThF, so he didn't get burned out or pick fights with the other campers (yeah!). Here are two short videos of a couple of the games they played ... I kept forgetting my camera each time he climbed to the top of the walls, so these two are low to the ground. He's going to advanced rockclimbing camp next week, so I'll try to get more 'up high'.This game is called bouldering - two kids start at opposite ends of the wall and race sideways to the X ... Ben didn't win this race, but he's getting faster at moving and jumping his hands and feet, and he was able to shake off his frustration easily (yeah!).
This game is called Cliffhanger, and the leader calls out the hands/feet to take off the wall. Last kid hanging is the winner. Again, Ben didn't win, but he handled it well. I can really see his calf muscles developing this week ... he's getting so strong!
