Hello! Day seventeen recap.

The weather was perfect for our first day of Color War! The kiddos had a late wakeup followed by breakfast. We did some cleanup and majors.

For Color War, the camp is divided in half and assigned to two teams: Nuggets and Kights. It’s been a camp tradition for the last three days with lots of fun. Campers can work on their skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Afternoon activities included handball, soccer, basketball, and kickball. After dinner, the boys had ice cream night. The highlight of the day was the Senior and Counselor hockey game! Counselors got the win. It was a good time for everyone.

Hello! Day sixteen recap.

We were overcast all morning here at BSC and still managed to finish all the majors. In the ice rink, the boys did offensive and transition defense drills. Basketball worked on passing ball handling drills. Baseball players watch the greatest hits.

After lunch, we had a rookie hockey intercamp against Camp Wildwood. What a game! Kiddos were excited to get on the ice and show their skills. Pros and Seniors came to watch and cheer.

We also had a visit from Kent’s Hill girls to watch an exceptional show that revealed the beginning of the Color War. Campers got hyped. Let the games begin!

Hello! Day fifteen recap.

Lazy Bones Sunday! The boys slept an extra couple of hours after a week of hard work. We had our classic Dunkin’ Donuts in the cafeteria. It was a chill morning for everyone. Pros did a hike to Hawk Mountain. They enjoyed exploring nature outside of camp.

After lunch, the pros and rookies got their phones back to call their parents. Seniors played corn hole out on the football field. Getting ready for our last days here at BSC!

Hello! Day fourteen recap.

It was an active and sunny morning here at camp. Kiddos had majors and minors. A lot of fun playing on the football field and enjoying a hot day. For choose-up, campers tested their skills with baseball, tennis, and soccer. And fishing crew had 14 catches and releases. Boys can do anything!

At the lineup, we gave special prices for our casino night winners and best outfits. After dinner, we had an underdog-win game at BSL with Coach Markus. I loved the celebration photos. These memories will last forever.

Hello! Day thirteen recap.

Incredible Friday back at camp! The morning was quite normal, everyone went to their majors. It was a hot day, so campers were exhausted by noon. Although they had lots of water, Koop and Jacob wanted to freshen things up. So we ate lunch and had a water day!

Kiddos had time to be at the waterfront and the rink. My favorite part? The slip and slide! I’m sure you’ll laugh when you see all the photos. They even grabbed the GoPro to record some funny videos. All smiles for this summer.

That’s not all. Our 13U Kickball team won at intercamp! For dinner, we ate barbecue chicken, mac and cheese, and broccoli. I know some of you were worried about picky eaters but everyone has been doing a great job eating healthy! The weekend is looking good.

Hello! Day twelve recap.

Funtown Splashtown Day! We needed a break from all the hard work everyone has been doing. Early morning we had breakfast and jumped right into the busses. Kiddos spread into groups of five with two counselors just in case anyone wanted to skip a ride.

Once we settle into our tent, the fun started to kick in. Some campers went to the splash park first and others went to the amusement park. The boys tested their fears on some of the rides.

Lots of water and sunscreen! After that, we got a last splash and campers got to buy some snacks. Then pizza for dinner! By this time kiddos were tired but their happy faces said it all. Just a few days left of camp. I’m going to miss all of them!

Hello! Day eleven recap.

It was a gorgeous sunny day at Bridgton Sports Camp! We had majors all morning. Hockey players worked on puck control and some drills. Basketball practice offense and defense. Soccer majors focused on passing and making plays with minimal area.

The highlight of the day was our baseball teams 15U and 12u won at intercamp! To top that, Sam Broder got a no-hitter when he was pitching. Love the talent and skills campers are getting every day.

I also went back to the waterfront and fished with the boys. Being out in the water was so relaxing on a hot day. After dinner, we played BSL games. And to end the night seniors took off on their rafting trip!

Hello! Day ten recap.

What a 4th! Early morning a group of campers and counselors competed in the annual Bridgton Four on the Fourth race. All of them did great. Back at camp had a regular day of majors and intercamp games for basketball and flag football. BSC won with our incredible team of football. We had lots of picks and touchdowns.

After snacks and lineup, we head into dinner for some tasty chicken wings. The night was still young because we had a surprise for the kiddos. Casino night!

They went back to their dorms and got some outfits on. Rookies came in first. Security staff was ready to check ID’s. Once they got in, we gave them chips so they could try their luck at some games. Pros and seniors joined for more fun.

Make sure to view photos of the night at Campanion!

Hello! Day nine recap.

BSC had a bit overcast during the morning. Majors took place as they usually do. The hockey majors worked on their release and battle drills. In soccer campers met their new coach for the next two weeks and had a senior tryout for intercamp.

During lacrosse, the boys worked on position drills focusing on timing and creating space. Lastly, the baseball majors practiced in the field, ground balls, and had a scrimmage.

For choose-up, I went to the waterfront for the first time to snap some shots. The boys did some tubbing. They had a great time. I walked to the field to capture more free-play moments. Kiddos asked me to show them how to take photos. So I showed them how the camera works, and they did a great job! I uploaded some of the pictures to Campanion. Could you tell the difference?

After dinner, all BSC campers head to the gym to witness the Basketball intercamp. The entire campus was thrilled. The team lost at home, unfortunately. Energy hyped the kiddos for our next games. GO Bridgton!

Hello! Day eight recap.

Our very first “Lazy Bones” Sunday! Kiddos got their classic donuts for breakfast and then met for the lineup. After that, they had a free period to play before lunch. The pro and rookie divisions got their phones back to catch up with their family and friends.

I loved to see all the smiles and happiness. The international campers from Spain had their families cheer them up. They are doing a great job here at camp. Most important, having fun!

Following the day hit the road so we could meet our sister camp at Kents Hill for carnival day. We had free skating on the ice rink, trampolines, and a yummy chicken burger dinner. What a day!
