Hello! Lazy Bones Sunday Recap.

What a fun and exciting day. Kiddos got a late wake-up with Dunkin Donuts waiting for them. We had lineup in the morning and played some BSL games. The boys had some free play. Most of them went to cheer on our intercamp street hockey game, which we won in overtime against Camp Wigwam.

Campers ate some lunch and had their phones back. Some of the rookies went to Hawk Mountain for a hike. Seniors played paintball. After that, everyone had showers because we had Casino Night! You’ll love the photos I took of the greatest and funniest outfits.

Hello! Day eleven recap.

Can I say I have the best job ever? Walking around Funtown Splashtown to capture our Bridgton kiddos having the best summer of their lives!

Everyone had the best time. We went on some thrill rides to get our adrenaline pumped. Excalibur was a favorite among the campers. Although the day started a little cloudy, this helped us out with the waiting lines.

Some groups started at the waterpark. The boys loved Poseidon’s Plunge. A drop slide about 60ft high! So brave. They also tried other tube slides. The sun came out at the perfect moment. For dinner, we had pizza. After a long day, we went back to camp for free play.

Log in to Campanion and see all the fun we had!

What a wild wild Wednesday at BSC! Majors went full speed ahead under sunny skies all morning. After an early line-up, our seniors left on their rafting trip with Kents Hill while our rookies and pros took on Intercamp challengers. Coaches Bryce and Taidan led our 11u soccer boys to a convincing 4-0 soccer win at Camp Wigwam.

Meanwhile, coaches MacGregor and Metcalf led BSC to victories over Camp Winona and Wigwam in a round-robin on Koop Field. Jackson was the hero with 2 intense scoreless innings in game 2 with a walk-off to right field scoring John for the winning run over Wigwam.

Campers who were not competing split time between the waterfront and broomball on the ice rink. After dinner, the campers all enjoyed the lovely weather with free play on the fields.

The fun continues today as our seniors continue rafting and our rookies and pros head to Funtown Splashtown. We can’t imagine a place we’d rather be!

Hello! Day eight and nine recap.

We’ve had the most beautiful past two days at BSC. Majors are beginning to implement more teamwork into their practice. Basketball has been working on communication running through three-on-three games. Hockey players did some edge work and stick handling. Lacrosse campers split into offense and defense groups working on positioning and scoring. During baseball, the boys played a scrimmage.

For soccer, we had our first intercamp game. Kiddos came to cheer. We have the best fans. Also, down at the waterfront, we’ve had some incredible wake-surfing skills shown by our boys. The days are going fast! We still have a few days left to enjoy.

Weekend Update

Hello! Weekend Recap.

First Friday of the Session, you could tell the kiddos were working hard all week. We started the morning as with majors with classic Maine weather. Basketball worked on their 3-on-3 competitions. On the turf, Lacrosse and soccer majors. Soccer players did first touches and dribbling. Lacrosse majors worked on stickhandling and passing. Baseball majors practiced infield and outfield work. Hockey also kept things competitive with shooting games.

For the afternoon, we had a special snack surprise. Ice cream truck! Campers enjoyed good cones and sandwiches. After that, we had dinner and got some rest. For Saturday, we had a similar day but a late wake-up. The boys got to enjoy the waterfront on a sunny day. They did some kayaking and fishing too!

That takes us to “Lazy Bones Sunday”. Kids get to sleep longer than usual and get doughnuts during breakfast. We were also excited about this day because it was Carnival Day!

Where to start? So much fun around! Campers had cotton candy, slip, and slide (best one), mechanical bull, free skating at the rink, and inflatable games to race. For dinner, we had a cookout with burgers and hot dogs. I call that an incredible weekend at Bridgton Sports Camp!

Hello! Day three and four recap.

Days have been busy here at Bridgton Sports Camp. Week one is almost over. Kiddos are doing great! Everyone has been eating, getting good sleep, and working on their sports skills.

Every morning campers go to their majors after breakfast. At the rink, our hockey majors have been working on their release and participating in battle drills. The soccer players continued working on a power and finesse drill.

Basketball did a series of passing and offense drills. Lacrosse worked on ground ball drills and dodging. On the baseball diamond, the boys practiced ground balls.

That’s not all. I walked around with my camera and stopped by the boys doing archery, tennis, and the waterfront for the afternoon. It’s a good moment for them to relax and enjoy traditional camp activities.

Hello! Day two recap.

My favorite kind of day. Kiddos had breakfast and had their first period of majors! Days are going to fly away with the new schedules. Everyone was excited to get in the rink, gym, and field.

I got to visit all of them and snap some photos. After that, I went golfing for our first session. The boys did good! We then had a rest hour and snacks. For the evening, the weather was not as we wanted for our first day at BSL but we made it through. BSC staff knows how to be in charge!

Arrival Day Session Two!

Hello, who’s ready for fun content for the summer? If you haven’t been following social media, I’ll introduce myself. My name is Brenda Cruz from Cancun, Mexico. I’ll take photos of your kiddos during this session and create the most amazing memories.

Feel free to reach out on Instagram, Facebook or Tiktok. Make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out on anything. Photos will be available on Campanion. I’ll try my best to upload them every night. Also, I’ll write this blog to share our activities.

Arrival day was a bit rainy, but we got everyone to their dorms and started unpacking. Campers were excited to meet their roommates and see old friends.

On day one we did rotations for the BSL combine and swim test. All campers had Majors meetings. After the lineup, they had some free play. They had showers and lights off. We are ready for the best summer ever!

Hello! Last day Session One recap.

Sorry for the delay on this blog days just flew by after our last day. I wanted to write about our amazing campers for session one. Hard to forget the first day they arrived. Everyone was nervous and excited at the same time.

I’m so grateful for every single moment we spent together. You truly have the most wonderful kids. At some point, it felt like I had 140 little brothers. Talented at their majors and funny to be around. Meals were surrounded by laughter every day.

The last day was such a bittersweet moment. We had a special banquet, photoshoot, and a slide show with all the best moments of the past three weeks. Rookies called out every camper that showed up and cheered on all counselors.

Then we had pros and seniors. It was a great last meal together. After that, we had our closing campfire. Kiddos got to sing and win BSC merch. They had a good night’s sleep and got ready to leave.

The morning was full of happy tears, mostly from me. Glad I met some of you guys. Thanks for following our journey. Hope to see you next year!

Hello! Day eighteen recap.

We woke up a little late and had breakfast by divisions. The day began with a Pro/Senior Dodgeball and Hockey game for Color War. Nuggets won by 3 points.

Afterward came lunch and a bunch of activities for the afternoon. My favorite of them was the Cook-Off! Fun to watch but not to judge. Kids would get random ingredients to create a unique dish. Some of them were Twinkies, tortillas, jam, and cheese balls. Yummy right?

BSL Championship for pros and seniors was after dinner. Kiddos had a last day of free play. One more day left!
