Today we were able to head out to the Hellikon venue which hosted soccer, gymnastics, softball, cycling, handball and badmiton. We were also able to see a demonstration of the Young Athletes program. The Young Athletes program was fun and it was great to see the cute kids participating in activities to get ready to participate in Special Olympics when they turn 8 years old. It was a great demonstration.
Our lunch with the Young Athletes was cancelled so we were allowed to go and explore the Hellikon venue. We went over the softball venue and had some lunch. From the softball venue we could see the Agean Sea and it was close. Kim had seen the soccer venue that was across the street towards the beach so we headed to the soccer venue but ended up on the beach instead. It was beautiful!! We are not allowed to swim but we all decided wading was not swimming so we walked in the Agean Sea. We had a blast! It was so nice to be able to just relax by the beach for a little bit. We then headed back to the venues and watched a little bit of rhythmic gymnastics. We were able to see a USA gymnast perform and she did great!
We returned to the hotel for dinner and then we had our final two sessions. Alli and Jordan had joined together with their North Carolina friends, Sarah and Joseph and put together a great power point on how to host a youth summit. They did a fantastic job. We had our final session which was “Making an Action Plan for when you get home.” Alli and Jordan put together great action plans and Kim is excited to see them implemented!
