The second session of SMA has taken off and the activities we have on offer are fun, challenging and are creating awesome memories. We started session 2 with introductions and are now at a stage where everyone knows each other and are trying new things together, learnt new skills and developed lifelong friendships.

This session includes a big talented group of mountain bikers who have rocked on the SMA trails, the Allegrippis trails and the skills park at Raystown lake. The view of the lake while shredding on the trails at Raystown is an experience the group are so happy to have. This activity is offered for both biking masters and non-biking masters allowing many kids to feel the need for speed!

Wakemasters have been raising stoke and shredding wake out on the lake in wakeboarding, waterskiing, Knee boarding, and Belly whomping. The awesomeness on the lake is not exempt from non Wakemasters as they have had the opportunity to shred on the lake as well and they have all been having lots o’ fun!

We have also got horse-riding as a morning activity and the kids have a chance to take care and maintain a horse and then ride the horse for the morning., This activity is truly awesome and allows for a truly great experience to be had

The bunnies are BACK! we at SMA have got bunnies for the kids to adopt and take care of them daily. To adopt a bunny a contract of care has to be signed and now all of the bunnies have a parent/co-parent so they are all living happy bunny lives..

6 overnights have gone out, 6 OVERNIGHTS! (2 wake, 2 canoeing, rock climbing, and biking) all ending in a beautiful starry night with smores and stories around a camp fire. The overnights are a great way for kids to know each other a little better and to expand their friendships to people they may have not spoken to as much before but now find awesome!! And most importantly…MAKE MEMORIES!

All of these activities mentioned are only done in the day, and we are just as busy in the night with our evening activities! So far we have played Jud games, invention convention, ice cream and bowling! Today is our all camp day and tis means a sleep in with donuts and bagels for breakfast and a BBQ for dinner!

Were all excited for the second week of SMA session 2 and are trying our best to make new friendships ignite, try new things and have fun!
