During free choice this afternoon, one of the activities offered was the ziptower. I always enjoy watching the campers climb up to the top of the tower and take off down the zipline. It is probably one of the most thrilling activities the kids can do while they are here at camp.
One of the campers that I was able to watch at the ziptower was Ziwuan
Williams. He first caught my attention last night when he got up and danced during the talent show. The picture to the right is of Ziwuan performing.
I was impressed with the ease and quickness with which he made his way up the climbing wall. You will see from the video below how agile he was. I also was able to catch him going down the zipline on video.
I caught up with Ziwuan after he had completed the activity to speak with him about his experience so far here at Camp ASCCA. I also asked him about having sickle cell. I loved his response to my question about it.
I also spoke with him about the pageant that will be held later this evening. In it a male counselor and camper from each of the guys cabins will be dressed up as girls and perform a talent.
The following video of Ziwuan on the ziptower and answering my questions afterwards is 3:56 minutes and 5.41MB.
