An elementary trip to Windsor Central High School highlighted Wednesday’s activities in the district’s summer program.
Most campers in Knight Lights, Windsor CSD’s elementary recreation camp, spent the day at Palmer Elementary engaging in activities that focus on gross motor and fine motor skills, literacy and numeracy, and STEM.
However, some groups of campers went to Windsor Central High School to rotate between stations: kickball, swimming, an outdoor tour of WCHS, and pathway presentations in the agriculture room and WCHS Land Lab.

Windsor Strong Academy students heard from Samantha Lethbridge, a community education coordinator from Visions Federal Credit Union, who spoke to students about budgeting and money management.
They also worked on team-building skills with a cup-building challenge, and worked on building apparatus for an egg drop contest later this week. Students had a budget of Windsor Strong bucks they could use for materials with which to build.

Basketball, cheer, and wrestling camps continued.

Basketball campers worked on rebounding and defense.

“We call it the other 95 percent. 95 percent of the time you play basketball, you play without the ball in your hand,” said basketball coach Dan Rathmell.

Cheer athletes practiced stunting and learned a new cheer routine.

Wrestlers learned the snap-down, go-behind from the neutral position, and the sit-back series from bottom. Boys learned the half arm bar from top while girls practiced the gut wrench from top position.
