Yesterday was one of the most anticipated days at Camp Discover 2… the day campers go to the Preston Center! The Preston Center is WKU’s on campus fitness center. Campers are given the opportunity to hang out with their friends and let all of their energy loose on the courts, track, in the lobby, and at the pool!
On the courts, the sound of basketballs and volleyballs bouncing, laughter, and cheering filled the air. There were some pretty intense games, and I think we have some pro athletes in the making!
At the track, campers walked around with their new friends and reminisced on the past few days of camp. There were also some track stars who, of course, took this time to race all of their friends.
For those that wanted more of a relaxing experience, the lobby was the place to be. Several campers took this time to beat their counselors in card games! Others caught up on their latest book, talked with their friends, and munched on snacks from the vending machine!
One of the busiest and most anticipated places to be was the pool! With the hot weather we have been experiencing, this was the perfect way to cool off! On one end of the pool, campers beat counselor Jack with their impressive pool basketball skills, floated on pool noodles, showed off their handstands, and even played mermaids! On the other end, campers were showing off their incredible diving skills. Everyone was very excited for the diving board to be open this year and it was the main attraction of the night. Their flips and dives left everyone in awe!
Overall, everyone had an amazing time at the Preston Center! Afterwards, everyone was exhausted and ready to climb into their beds and go to sleep. However, first they had to fill all of their friends in on the things they did at Preston, and laughter filled Florence Schneider Hall!
