Every morning after breakfast, our campers start their day off with Team Competition, AKA “Team Comp”. This friendly competition includes games like kickball, mini soccer, O-Ball, Nuke Em, and Steal the Bacon. The winners of each game earn their respective teams (Rough Riders and Silver Spurs vs. Texas Rangers and Lone Stars) points toward a head start for our highly anticipated Amazing Race at the end of the term.
Our current team competition score is:
Texas Rangers and Lonestars: 6
Rough Riders and Silver Spurs: 6
And our teams are tied heading into our third day of team competition!
Water Aerobics is an iconic activity here at CBS! Created for Women’s Fitness major girls, this once-a-term workout is always a coveted favorite. At our seafoam green pool with the sun shining and oak trees overhead, our Women’s Fitness girls jumped, high kneed, grapevined, and splashed their way through the workout to some songs of the summer! This Term’s playlist included Ladies Room by Olivia Dean and Lush Life by Zara Larson! A perfect mix of movement, music, and poolside phun!
Everyone has a little hero inside them, whether it’s Batman saving Gotham, Mr. Rogers changing hearts, or the teacher who declares no homework Fridays! However you define courage, last night, all at CBS grabbed their capes, badges, or everyday clothes and took a walk on the brave side, stepping into the shoes of their heroes. One of the features that makes Camp Balcones Springs so special is our nightly evening programs, especially our dances. Every term, we bring three original and unique themed parties to life, complete with decorations, food and snacks, side games, and most importantly, plenty of dancing.
Last night, we hosted our first theme night of Term 3, “Once Upon a Hero”. Campers came dressed as their heroes, and boy did they impress! We saw superheroes, princesses, nurses, athletes, doctors, celebrities, and even Dolly Parton and the Lorax!
Set at the Thicket and overlooking the lake, the night was full of phun from start to finish. Campers played operation at “CBS Hospital”, scaled their way through a Spider-Man web obstacle course, shot hoops at the “Athletic Hall of Fame”, made felt superhero masks, decorated Nobel Peace Prize cookies, and “dunked” out the fire at our firefighter-themed dunk tank.
We ended the night as campers danced under warm string lights, our very own Gotham City glowing in the background, and a smoke machine setting the scene. Classic camp dances fueled the crowd, with “Cowboy” “Breathe In, Breathe Out” “Church Clap”, and “Firework” drawing campers to the dance floor to show off their super moves!
We cannot wait for your campers to share all the phun they had emulating their heroes, celebrating courage, and saving the dance floor!
