Massey Place Presents
Many kids do sports camps during the summer in order to learn about a new sport, or to practise one
that they really enjoy. Talk about a sports camp that you attended/will attend this summer.

This summer, I went to the Spikes Beach
Volleyball camp. It was a great camp and I
really had a lot of fun at it. What I liked most
about the camp was scrimmaging against
other people and learning how to spike the
ball. The thing I found most challenging was
playing volleyball outside when it was really
hot and standing on the hot sand. I learned to
be a better volleyball player and to jump, set, serve, and
spike in the sand. Being at the camp with my friends made the
camp even better. I started doing the Spikes camps when I was in Grade
4 and I made my school volleyball team. Not many Grade 4s make the
team. The camp taught me a lot and being on my school’s team for the
last three years has been awesome! I think kids should try this camp
because they would get better at volleyball and have a lot of fun doing it.

In August, I go to a goalie camp run by Adam
Russo and Eric Salvail. It lasts for five days
and we are there for 8 hrs. a day. At the camp
we have different trainers: yoga trainers,
dryland trainers, skating trainers, and puck-
handling trainers. These different activities
help you improve your skills as a goaltender.
I feel like I do my best at hand-eye coordination
and movement drills. They help me move in my
crease smoothly and quickly. The toughest part of
the camp for me is power drills because they work your muscles to the
limit and exhaust you. But, doing them at camp every day improves
your strength, endurance, and ability and so you improve as a goalie.
Other goaltenders should go to camps like this because no matter what,
the trainers will encourage and teach you different ways to improve in
all aspects of your game so that you can be the best goalie you can be.

This summer, I went to the Benson Centre
for a Zumba camp. Zumba is good exercise
because it makes you move your whole body
a lot while you do different dance moves.
It makes me feel energetic and happy when
I do Zumba. At camp, I liked how we did
Zumba and went swimming every day. We
also played games like Pac-Man Tag and Man on
Mars, and lots more! What I found hard was that
some of the dance moves were tough and I couldn’t do them with my
right leg, but I think I did ok at most of the dancing and I was good at
the games. I think other people should try the Zumba camp because it
is really fun, and they would learn lots of fun games to play with their
friends. I want to do Zumba camp again next year!

I really like being active. I like swimming
and helping my sister’s soccer team,
running in races and playing hockey.
I go to Zumba camp too. This is my
second year at Zumba camp. It’s good to
go to Zumba camp because you learn new
things, and make new friends, and learn to
move in different ways. Zumba is difficult
because sometimes you struggle when you learn the new dance
moves, but by meeting new friends you can do it together and learn
it together and then it doesn’t seem so hard. I think other people
should go to this Zumba camp. It’s so fun!
