Watch us on KXAN and News 8 Austin scrubbing away!!!!

Great job guys, you don't need tv cameras or breakfast tacos to do a great job, but the tacos did help a little bit! wink wink!

Service, Fun in the sun, and Goal Setting....




Today we started off with a run to Barton Springs Pool where we did a service learning project with a few members of the House of Representatives, the Senator, and seemed like everyone official in Austin...

Then we went for a bike ride around Town Lake
and had a motivating talk with Jeremy Thiel to end the day...
WHEW! What a great camp!!!

Thanks Barton Springs Bike Rental, you guys were awesome the whole summer!!!!

We got "SWOLL"



Thanks to Michael Winchester, we did a workout today that he named "SWOLL"!! It was a great team challenge, that was very close!


Then, we went kayaking with Heather Reed (HJ) and Megan Parsons (Showout!)
It was hot, but we hardly even noticed, because we were having so much fun!!


One sinking kayak brought the group together like a real team!!

All in a days work...

CC Kids ROCK!






Yesterday was packed with team building, a challenging workout, and then some swimming...
You may say, why are you brushing your teeth in the park...Well that was our partner building activity. They had to feed each other bananas and brush each others teeth. It was hilarious!!
At the pool, we had the first game of the summer where we actually lost the "bacon" and the workout was a good one~!!!
150 m Row
15 kb swings
10 jump ups
AMRAP in 10 minutes

The boys rocked the workout with 3 to 4 rounds!!!!!

just 1 more


Only one camp left....are you in? August 9th -12th, 2010.

Its the kids that make the camps AMAZING>......














These are no ordinary people they are...
Kids that care, kids that challenge themselves, kids that push the envelope, kids that are leaders, kids that want to do more than what has ever been done before....

Individually we are just one body, but together we are like a machine that can do amazing things....






These kids cleaned up Barton Springs Pool by picking up tons of huge branches, stumps, and logs to move them out. After that they scrubbed the algae, or "allergy" according to FOX, off of the side of the rails to help people from slipping...
Our quote of the day was "Individually we are just one drop, but together we are an ocean." The kids re-wrote that quote many times with different meanings... If you remember one, add it to this blog as a comment. Lets make a compilation of them!


The coaches that helped to make our week special...

Thanks Crystal, Jeremy, Carey, and JDP...
Crystal challenged us with wheelbarrow's (how do you spell that word?), pull-ups, and team challenges.


Crystal and Carey led us through workouts that were really fun...


Carey led us through "Jeremy" and then read us a book... I don't know many crossfit workouts that get Dr. Seauss read to them afterwards by a coach like Carey?!?! It was awesome!
It was a great lesson and workout~!

Then JDP and Crystal joined us for the bike riding. We loved having them there!






Lastly, we had Jeremy come talk to us about our choices in life and it was a great talk. He spoke with us about who our friends are, what we choose to do, and how we are in charge of our own actions... powerful talk! Thanks JT!!!


More pics from our amazing camp last week...



Each camp has been completely different than the one before it. Each new personality brings a new spin to every thing that we do. Last week was such a great time!
There is one more week of camp coming up!!!!
