Among the 5-6-year-old group scattered around the playground, three girls, Elena, Andrea, and Caliana, gather by the monkey bars and show off their skills.
Elena hangs from them by gripping the first bar and placing her legs over the third. Andrea watches with her eyes wide and remarks that it is very impressive that she is able to hang with a bar between her hands and her legs.
Caliana wants to try the trick and go across the monkey bars but is hesitant. Andrea helps her gain confidence by telling her that she can do anything she sets her mind to. Channeling her confidence and determination, Caliana climbs across the monkey bars and briefly hangs before smiling proudly as she drops down.
After Andrea hangs from the monkey bars herself, Elena mentions that she can do a split and displays her ability. Andrea takes her shot at doing a split too, and manages to go down far before falling out of it with laughter.
Showing off her own skills, Caliana says that she can do a cartwheel and demonstrates a couple. She then brings up that she can do a handstand and does a few. After her demonstration, she states that she could do a handstand for an hour, earning the playful response “an hour?!” from Andrea whose surprise and amusement seeps into her voice.
The topic of underwater handstands being easier to do because people are weightless in the water then comes up, prompting Caliana to try another handstand. Andrea watches and tells her that she already has a good handstand and that she even improved within the few she just did.
The campers help their peers stay motivated and positive as they encourage each other to learn new things, always work to improve themselves, and build more confidence.
