Knight Lights students had a Rowdy reception Wednesday morning when they arrived for camp. Rowdy the Rumble Pony greeted campers as they arrived at Palmer Elementary.
The campers went on to participate in various activities, including making their own super bounce balls using Borax, corn starch, and glue. They also heard from high school students Ava Platner and Charlotte Hanyon about the high school’s agriculture program. Teacher Mikayla Anderson also helped the students make sunflower plants to take home.
Windsor Strong Academy students continued to build their cardboard boats for Thursday’s race at the Windsor Central High School pool. Each of the four teams instituted heightened security for the builds, with blacked-out windows, special knocks for entry into rooms, and bouncers at the door.

Tennis, track, swim and dive, and volleyball camps continued on Wednesday

Tennis campers reviewed the scoring and rules of the game. They also participated in forehand and backhand drills, practiced lobs, and played matches.

Track athletes learned how to throw a discus, using a Frisbee instead of the field implement, adding to the events they have learned this week, the 55-meter sprint and long jump.

Swimmers reviewed freestyle strokes and practiced kicking and backstroke. Divers worked on their front approaches.

Volleyball players worked on defense and communication.

“You really can’t have defense without communication,” said volleyball coach Kassi Hastings.

Players also practiced diving drills, using the mats in the wrestling room.
