Sportsman Activity Pin

We worked hard on the sportsman activity pin during the 5 days of camp.  We covered a variety of games and the boys enjoyed learning new games as well as playing familiar ones (such as soccer).  Some overall notes:

• All of the sportsman sessions had both patrols.  Where appropriate, these groups/patrols should be set up as competing teams.
• For physically demanding activities, the boys should rotate equal time between playing and resting (and cheering on their team).
• The boys need to stay hydrated!

Each of the days is described below on its own page.  

• Day 1
• Day 2
• Day 3
• Day 4
• Day 5

Analysis (Start/Stop/Continue)

• Start: Sports worked really well in general.  The biggest thing we would add for next year is a larger area of shade.  We played in a large open area for many of the games (soccer, ultimate) and those days got warm quickly.  We have some specific other suggestions for each sport listed in the individual days.
• Stop: Worked well in general.  Nothing specific to stop.
• Continue: In general, it worked well.  See suggestions in start above.
