On Kim Hertlein's first day as a camp coach for the Green & Gold Summer Camps, she felt the sense of excitement to her core.
As it has been for the past 30 years, the first day of the University of Alberta summer camps are like a bottle of pure elation ready to burst — along with a bit of anxiousness.
For many, including Hertlein's brothers, their first time stepping on campus is as a summer camp participant. The same is true for most of the 4,300 kids registered this summer to take part in 13 sport and skill camps.
Hertlein is one of a very small group of people who coached in summer camps as a U of A student, spent five years competing as a varsity athlete and now have their kids participating in summer camps.
