How the morning works
Three zones, nine stations
Camp has three zones: Hitting, Performance and Skills. Each zone has three stations, so there are nine stations in all.
Campers rotate in small groups. Each group starts in a different zone, so all three zones stay busy and groups do the zones in a different order. By the end of the morning, every camper has visited all three zones and all nine stations.
Each 45-minute zone block starts with a short introduction. Then each small group spends 12 minutes at each of the zone’s three stations, with quick moves between them.
