<span style="color: #000000;">All the Big Dogs was so excited to be back at camp this week and what a hot week it was.  Playing our regular sports like baseball and soccer to playing scooter handball and you can not leave out DODGEBALL! On wednesday we got to see the bug guy and walk around Del Val's pond.  </span><strong>George </strong>kicked multiple home runs in kickball to lead his team to victory.  <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Tyler </span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">showed our new swim instructor, Lauren, his sweet swim moves in the pool.  <strong>Grace </strong>and <strong>Sarah  </strong>both did amazing in world cup soccer, winning at least one game each.  <strong>Nate </strong>won two games in a row during knock out! <strong>Bennett and Marshall </strong>both were the fastest kids in capture the flag and no one could catch them. Not even Kyle the all sports instructor.  <strong>Nick </strong>really showed how strong his arm was while playing wall ball and throwing the whole length of the gym.  <strong>Ryan </strong>amazing hockey in the APR and even played goalie and did not let puck in.  Last but certainly not least our Big Dog camper of the week is <strong>Autumn!!! </strong>She went from all time gator to trying the Big Dogs out this week. She was spectacular in every sport we played and gave 110% at all times.  We hope that she joins us next week in the Big Dogs again.</span>

We played a very large variety of games including Dodge ball, Capture the Flag, Knockout, World Cup, Scooter Handball, Hockey, and Final Four. <strong>Patrick Cooney</strong> and <strong>Zach Wohl</strong> were knocking people out in Knockout like crazy.  <strong>Hayden Clements</strong> scored 2 goals in Hockey and hit the cross bar on another shot. <strong>Josh Phillips</strong> was extremely sneaky in Final Four and won almost every time.<strong> Harris Lichstein</strong> was the star player in Scooter Handball with 3 goals.  Matthew Patrick was AMAZING in Dodgeball and pretty much won the game for his team! Overall this was a great way to start off the amazing summer! Even with a small group we managed to have a great time.</span>
