Yesterday was the final day of the annual SMS camps. The first half of the week was a BKL camp for kids ages 10-14 and the second half of the week was a junior camp for kids ages 14-18. Both camps were huge successes and I really enjoyed getting to know so many motivated kids. The BKL camp is all about staying active and playing a variety of sports while the Junior Camp is more ski specific, including more rollerski workouts and training talks. Check out the
SMS Blog and the
SMS Nordic Facebook Page to see tons of photos from the week!

In addition to helping out with the camps, we hosted a Fast and Female power hour at each camp. The BKL Camp power hour consisted of a quick brainstorming session about negative pressures for girls to drop out of sports and positive reasons to stick with it. It was followed by a scavenger hunt around the campus where the girls had to complete challenges in order to reach their final destination and new Fast and Female buffs! The junior camp power hour focused on goal setting. We explained the importance of setting a goal, whether it is to complete two pull ups by the end of the fall or to go to the olympics. Once the girls set a results based goal, we had them complete a goal pyramid and fill out all the process goals they could think of that were going to help them meet their ultimate results based goal. We also explained to them the importance of sharing your goal with someone and therefore holding yourself accountable. After the goal setting, we went down to the gym and showed them the multiple ways to do an assisted pull up. Hopefully the girls enjoyed the power hours as much as the ambassadors did!
