Cheerleading! By: Jess Hoffman

Can I get a C?! Can I get an H?! Can I get a double E?! Can I get an R?! Can I get an L?! Can I get another E?! Can I get an A?! Can I get a D?! How about an I?! Second to last an N?! Finally a G?!
	WHAT DOES THAT SPELL?!
	Today there was an                   exciting activity period of                      Cheerleading with the                    Supers. (oldest campers)                 Luke, Becky, and Kimmie were                  the counselors in charge of                                 the period.
They headed off to the turf, and then started off the period by stretching and a quick cardio workout to get their muscles warmed up!
		Then they learned different positions such as moves called "Touchdown", "High V", "Candlestick", "L", "Clean", and many more.
Everyone proceeded to learn jumps such as "Toe-touches", "Pikes", and "Hurkeys".
The counselors led by excellent example, and the campers anxiously tried it with great effort!		After all of this, the campers began the part in which they were all looking forward to...Stunts!
	With a lot of                                     preperation, the                                     campers were                                  able to                                    participate in all                                    aspects of                                    the stunt- flying,                                  basing, and                                  spotting.
Everyone had a lot of fun at cheerleading. Both guys and girls were able to try out this cool sport! It showed that cheerleading isn't just cheering loudly and smiling big; (although that is part of it) it's also about strength, courage, flexibility, and many other challenging skills needed to be able to cheer. Once the period was over, the counselors cart-wheeled off the Turf and everyone headed to announcements!
