Week Two Begins at Session III!

This past weekend was a blast. Arete classes performed for the entire camp Friday afternoon. We were lucky enough to capture a couple of the performances on video, so check out stage combat and step class performances at the end of the post.

The kids had their first opportunity to sign out and take in a bit of  Nashville on their own. Several students explored Hillsboro Village and ventured to nearby stores such as the Great Escape and Pangea.

Saturday night, the entire camp went to a Nashville Sounds baseball game. It was fun while it lasted, but sadly, in the sixth inning, the sky opened and rain poured as students and proctors alike ran for shelter. With time to kill that night, an impromptu dance party started in Sutherland and lasted until everyone had tired out and happily obeyed curfew.

Sunday afternoon was the proctors' personal favorite activity in all of VSA -- the Goofy Olympics. The three houses competed against one another in field-day-style in a number of events throughout the afternoon. Team events like the hula hoop chain and tug-of-war brought house groups together while individual events like chubby bunny and the water balloon toss were big hits with everyone.

Below are some photos from the goofy olympics. Take a look and check back later this week for another update!
