Florida Week has Officially Arrived

     Florida Week has officially arrived and the campers wasted no time before they started throwing down. After a 20 hour bus ride up from the Sunshine State, the campers were all super excited to start riding, but first they had unload the bus and get their bikes put back together. 

 


After a long bus ride one of campers couldn't resist throwing bar spin in the parking lot.






The Mad Dash for the Whipped Cream Stache

       This week’s camper awards ceremony had a little twist. We decided to beat the recent heat with ice cream. And no Ohio Dream’s ice cream sundae party is complete without whipped cream mustaches.

End of Session 5 and Athlete Development Program

As another exciting week here at Ohio Dreams comes to an end, Session 5 campers are still going strong and throwing down harder than ever.  This week marked the end of our Athlete Development Program with the Shaw brothers.  They’ve been training rigorously for the past five weeks here working on everything from strength training to technique building!  Keep an eye out for an edit of Walker and Luca Shaw explaining what the program is all about!

After the campers stuck the storm out yesterday with an epic game of dodge ball, today was nothing but great weather.  This week our camp welcomed the pro inline skaters and scooters from Spoiled Bratt skate shop all the way out of New Jersey to get in on the action at the camp!

Rainy Day + Dodgeball

Today starts the official first day of Session 3!  As usual spirits were at an all time high as the campers started piling into the Ohio Dream camp.  The staff thought it would be a great idea to get to know the campers by playing dodge ball as the evening activity!
