<h2>Big Dogs</h2>
Red, White, and Blue! Rita's Water Ice! Hot Dogs! All were a part of our 4th of July celebration. This was a wonderful week for the Big Dogs in which the campers participated in a variety of sports. The best part of all was that the Big Dogs were the winners of the camp trophy on Cheer Day.

Now for the Big Dogs highlights of the week. First and foremost, <strong>Alex Bershtein</strong> was the Big Dog of the week in which he stood out in most activities and he showed a tremendous amount of sportsmanship. During football this week,<strong>Owen Petrich</strong>, showed off his hands in our long distance catching competition. The standouts in baseball this week were <strong>Nolan Petrich</strong> as well as <strong>Eric Gross</strong> in which they both hit with tremendous power as well as showed how flashy they can be in the field. The Big Dog standout in basketball for Red, White, and Blue week was <strong>Grace Cooney</strong> who showed the most improvement over the span of the week advancing her dribbling skills. The speedster of the week award goes to <strong>Sarah Cooney</strong>in which she was able to burn her sports instructor in the 100 yard relay race. The star of four square this week was Mellisa Mannowho was consistently knocking out her other campers. The Big Dogs had such a wonderful week and we hope to see everyone back next week with us at Future Stars!
<h2>Sharks</h2>
This week was red white and blue week at Future Stars in celebration of the fourth of July.  We had our main celebration on Thursday with a hot dog and water ice cook out.  The hot dogs were delicious and the water ice sweet and refreshing.  The sharks enjoyed picnic in the shade.

This week our Sharks proved their might in sports of all kinds. <strong>Zach Whol </strong>hit a grandslam during kickball giving his team a whopping four runs.  <strong>Zach Hauben </strong>excelled in a game of knockout and even beat out counselors to win.  <strong>Hayden Clements </strong>dodged his little heart out in dodgeball using quick feet and daring blocks to stay in until the end.  <strong>Patrick Cooney</strong> showed the Sharks how to make amazing diving catches during football.  <strong>Josh Phillipps </strong>powered through three games of world cup soccer,  making it to the final two each game, and coming in first two times.  <strong>Kenny Daughetry </strong>showed his skills during basketball, and ultimate frisbee, helping his team to a demanding 3 - 0 lead.  <strong>Evan Eissfeldt </strong>shined in the pool as he anchored his relay race team with his amazing speed.  <strong>Ryan Gross </strong>ran with the Big Dogs on Friday morning, showing that he had the speed and endurance to hang with some of the older campers.  <strong>Garret Sabol </strong>ran with the Sharks this Friday and did an awesome job.  To top off a great week, Drew Gazda won counselor of the week! We look forward to another great week of camp and hope to see all of our friends back at camp.

<h2>Big Dogs</h2>
It was a fun week for the older All Sports.  <strong>Harris Wohl</strong> and <strong>Myles King</strong> both won in an intense game of knockout.  In football <strong>Alex Bershtein </strong>confused the other team and had a nice interception to lead his team to victory.  <strong>William Masterson </strong>helped the All Sports beat the Gators in a kickball game by hitting 2 home-runs.  <strong>George Bershtein</strong> had a great time playing ﻿ lacrosse in a real helmet and gloves.  In dodge-ball <strong>Colin Cooney</strong> impressed every body by dodging almost every ball thrown at him.  <strong>Matthew Knight </strong>was great in wall ball and forced a lot of outs.  In soccer everyone knew that girls could play because they saw <strong>Michaela Trigg</strong> play  well in our soccer match this week.  <strong>Michael King</strong> gave the quaterbacks on the other team nightmares by rushing them as soon as possible.  <strong>Patrick Sullivan </strong>had a great time in the pool this week, playing with all his friends.  This week for the All Sports was great and we hope to see them back later in the summer.

<h2>Sharks</h2>
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Future Stars All Sports Camp, we were able to create a Sharks All Sport group this week at Del Val.  We had an awesome week in the Shark group.  We played lacrosse, polo baseball, kickball, soccer, handball, sharks and minnows, football, basketball, and wall ball.  We also had a great time learning new swimming strokes and playing games in the pool with swim instructor Chris Gazda.  This week we took a small break from sports and enjoyed an exciting presentation from the LehighValley Zoo with the rest of Future Stars Camp.  We were able to learn about, and pet a Bearded Dragon, Madagascar Cockroach, Python and Ferrett.  At the end of the presentation we laughed as a small penguin ran around with his penguin waddle.  The Sharks used their name for a great cheer on Tuesday and took advantage of an instructors birthday for Banana Dance on Thursday.

"I loved playing football and swimming this week!" says Michael Rose, a veteran All Sports Camper.

Evan Eissfeldt adds, "I think this week was fun, and we did not do anything boring.  I really liked swimming."

"This week was fun, exciting and my favorite activity was when we got to learn to play lacrosse" reported Zach Hauben.

"FOOTBALL" Hayden Clements yelled when asked about his favorite sport this week.  With further investigation we discovered Hayden also enjoys computers and swim time.

"I liked the pool, and I like to play games, especially sharks and minnows," revealed Josh Phillipps.

Crazy Pat Cooney tells us that he loves, "lunch and pool, and oh yea, sports!".

Zachary Wohl, unreachable for interview, had an awesome time playing lacrosse.  While the counselors and instructions thought he looked cute in a helmet for goalie, Zach argues, "I don't look cute, I look like a real lacrosse player."

Maddy Cohen, "loves pool," and, "dodge-ball is really fun."

Ryan Gross excelled in Polo Baseball, and helped lead the Sharks in sport activities throughout the week.

Overall it was a great week and we hope to see all of our campers back next week, or later in the summer.
