Kelly's Camp Olympics VIDEOS

Here are two short video clips that my Mom took of Kelly at the Loras All-Sports Camp Olympics.
**The first one is of her swimming the 25 backstroke during Swimming Majors
**The second one is a clip of her during the cheerleading routine at the Closing Ceremonies (Cheerleading was one of her minors)


Kelly's favorite stroke is backstroke
Kelly was SO excited to be lifted up for a "stunt" during the cheerleading routine!!!

Loras Sports Camp - Day 4

Kelly is truly loving her first experience at Loras Sports Camp!  Tonight was the paddle branding ceremony....which is what the campers work for all week long!
 Kelly was REALLY excited about this "stunt" in cheerleading!  She took her camera and asked her coach to take a picture of her!  LOVE IT!!!!
 Kelly also took her camera to ice skating....where her coach took this adorable picture of the 4 girls in her huddle group!!!!
(Kelly, Caroline, Ellie, Tabitha)

Kelly loved ice skating!!!
 Paddle Branding Ceremony!
 All 8 girls in Kelly's huddle group were first time campers.....so they all received paddles for the first time!
 Kelly getting her ATTITUDE brand!
 You can see Kelly smelling the wood after it was branded!
 Kelly received ATTITUDE and Ellie received LOYALTY along with the paddles.
(You can earn two things per year.....either a paddle and a brand or two brands)
 Kelly proud of her paddle!
 Camp is tiring!!!!
 Kelly received the same FIRST brand that I did as a camper.....ATTITUDE.  You can see that the paddles have changed a little in the last 25+ years.....but the brands are still the same as when the camp started 31 years ago!
