We had a BLAST at camp = my girls can't stop talking about it! When we arrived on the first day, my "little middle school girls" we so intimidated by the very large, experienced high school squads. By the end of camp, they were right up with the big girls trying to keep up. It was awesome to watch them grow so much in 3 days!!
