Concordia Camp

Allison was so sad she missed this camp last year, but was super excited to be able to go this time.  All 3 of Heidi's teams were participating and met in the Starbucks parking lot on Monday for the caravan to Concordia University.
Allison rode with Aubree, Reanna and Zoey and was looking forward to 4 days of training, games, team bonding and beach time!
Heidi and Jen took all of the girls' phones away for the time on campus, which I loved.  It allowed for no distractions and real focus.  Jen was sweet enough to text picture updates to the parents though.  Here they are ready for the 1st training session on Monday.
They ate most of their meals in the dining hall.  Allison loved the breakfasts the best and liked getting Costco pizza for the movie night!
 There were soccer tennis tournaments
and minute-to-win-it competitions.
Yesterday, they spent the afternoon and evening at Newport Beach.
 They had time to relax and roast hot dogs and s'mores.
 They even posed with some "hot lifeguards"!  I am grateful that Allison had this opportunity and grew closer to her teammates as they begin this next season.  We sure missed her at home though!  It was especially weird not being able to talk her at all, but the benefits were worth it!
