CHEER CAMP (6 YRS, 2 MONTHS)

Bowie high school cheer leaders sponsor a cheer camp, for one week during the summer. Cheer camp has everything that S likes -- gymnastic (which she's a natural at), dance, and songs. Unfortunately, the one thing she doesn't like is performing.

Despite "show-time", she has liked cheer camp so much that she's asked to do the all day camp next year and asked for pom-poms and hair ribbons. Every day there's a craft, games (e.g. chicken dance), and cheer and tumbling. Right before lunch, the Bowie cheerleaders do a little show and all the girls are star-struck.

Mama's not sure if she really has a cheer-leader on her hands or not, but think this is a great experience for her.
