This is the first ever session of NUTC Gold in celebration of NUTC's 10th Anniversary! The campers are ages 17 and 18 most of them either entering their senior year of high school or will be out in the world whether it be college, work or time off. The campers are going to learn a lot about how to be leaders in whatever capacity their next year of ultimate takes them. By the time they leave camp they will know how to run a solid practice (including stretching, drills, assessing situations, group dynamics, etc.), prepare their team for a game or tournament, proper nutrition and how to be a (better) captain or improve their current team. This is going to be a very fun and exciting week as the campers who have been here previously have no idea of what is going to happen next. We have been planning some new and incredible things for them to do over the next several days which I know will leave a lasting impression upon them.
This evening, the campers scrimmaged for a little while to get their legs underneath them before heading to the dining hall for our first meal together. After dinner the campers were able to meet each other on the disc golf course as we played a tournament which involved us pairing campers and counselors at random through the use of pulling names out of a hat. The winning team shot a very impressive 5 under, winning themselves some sweet disc golf discs. After the tournament we had an all camp meeting then broke out into smaller groups to further discuss camp, their backgrounds and to ask them what they hoped to learn over the course of the week spent with us. Right now, the campers are in their floor/suite meetings which will continue nightly to allow campers to further get to know one another and start to create bonds among the people around them and to ask questions about anything. Without further adieu here is the a few photos from today's scrimmage and disc golf tournament. Enjoy!
