Getting pitted…so pitted! And dropping…dropping in!

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

The girls got so extreme this session!  Everyone had a blast at the all girl activities!  On day 3, we experienced one of the most progressive and fun gatherings at the foam pit:

Everyone learned how to throw front and back flips

Getting "flip certified", to be able to learn flips on the Bag Jump on hill

Launching a front flip off the mini tramp

Then, later in the session, all girls’ skate went down.  All girls’ skate has always been a favorite activity for the girl campers and staff!  Everyone learned some new tricks.  And more importantly, the girls that had never skated before can now go home with some basic maneuvers.  Maneuvers that will allow them to continue to skate and get better!

It’s Missile Time, Baby!!!!!

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Today on hill it was all about the DC Missile. This awesome feature used to be at the world famous DC Mountain Lab, before it’s untimely demise. However since the Mountain Lab is no more, the missile is now in our park, and it got absolutely annihilated today. Check out Coach Eric Beauchemin and Demo guy Tanner McCarty, and see how they put a real hurting on the missile. WMD, we think not. It was more like a bunch of SCMD’s™ (shredders causing massive destruction).



The missile however was not the only feature getting slaughtered today. The quarter-pipe was also getting plenty of action. Check out the man behind the Ham Van, Skylar Brent, throwing down a mean hand plant!

The Log on top of the quarter-pipe was also shredded so hard today that it started to splinter up. OK, so it didn’t really start to splinter up, but some totally awesome tricks were done on it today!

Off the mountain we also had some amazing things go down. Today we made HCSC history. How did we make history you ask? Well today we had our very first, High Cascade Jousting Tournament! Campers of all ages came down to see just how truly amazing HCSC jousting really is. It’s so much fun! Just check it out for yourself!

Even Signature Sessioner™ Pat Moore got in on the action!

And no, he definitely did not win!

The winners of the first ever HCSC Jousting Tournament were so pumped! They got awesome prizes from Electric, Four Square, Eastern Boarder, and Under Armour!

The Jousting Tournament wasn’t the only first that we had at HCSC today though. We also had our first sailing expedition in the lake today. Signature Sessioners™ Austin Smith, and Curtis Ciszek brought their Hobie Cat Sail Boats and set off onto the open lake with a bunch of campers. Counselor Chelsea captured the images. Thanks Chelsea!



After jousting and sailing, it was time for the world famous Marshmallow Money Cup™, aka The Contest Formally Known as the Huckleberry Jam™. This contest was one of the most fierce skate contests the HCSC street course had ever seen!

These campers tore up the 15,000 sq foot street course like it was nothing! They were absolute skateboard animals. It was out of this world. Just look for yourself.

The crowd of campers went absolutely wild for this sessions Marshmallow Money Cup™!

And in the end, it was this handful of amazingly talented skaters who took home the top prizes in all of the different divisions. We had beginner, girls, intermediate, and advanced divisions. They all got amazing prizes, and the winner from the advanced group took home a brand new Skate Mental deck from Eastern Boarder.

After skating in such an intense competition, there really is no better way to cool off than with an awesome camp fire and some delicious s’mores!

Tomorrow it’s the LDOH™ (last day on hill) for Session 3, and it’s guaranteed to be an awesome one. So check back and see what kind of action goes down!
