Today Wayne and I drove Sam and a friend named Courtney to Camp Rhapsody at Deception Pass on Whidbey Island. Camp Rhapsody is a colorguard camp run by the national winterguard champions, an independent group of college-aged kids called Rhapsody. The lead choreographer for the group is actually the colorguard director at Kamiak High School, so Sam's sure to learn a lot.
In addition to spinning flags, she'll try her hand at rifles and sabres. I'm kinda glad I won't be there to watch her spin sharp objects (laughs).
The camp, which lasts until Thursday when Courtney's mom brings the girls home, is headquartered out of Deception Pass State Park's environmental learning center. Above, you'll see pictures of the girls outside their cabin, Sam reacting to a bonk on the head from a rafter, and the clearing by Puget Sound where they'll do the majority of their workouts.
Sam was excited about the opportunity, but sad to be away from home for so long. I'll post pictures of the surrounding area later, but it's breathtakingly beautiful out there, and only an hour away from home!
