What a great weekend! Our innagural Bears Blowout Sports Banquet and Father Son Event was a hit with students, families and staff.
Friday evening we celebrated with a steak dinner complete wit live music! After dinner our athletes were honored individually by Coaches Kory Byrd and Yanic McDowell for their contributions to the soccer and basketball teams as they recived their trophies. The evening wrapped up with fun drills and games with the coaches running everyone through their paces!
Saturday’s rain moved us inside for basketball. Everyone modeled incredible flexibility and “open to outcome” positive attitudes as we implemented a rainy day “Plan B.”
Check out the pictures below and stay tuned for another chance for Father Son Football late this summer!

Last year we were given an incredible gift by an alumni family: 8 fully outfitted whitewater canoes! These are top of the line tandem “Captions”. Often, boys arrive at Cherokee Creek having canoed at summer camp or in a local waterway – in flatwater boats. Whitewater boats take a little getting used to. They are different in a couple of critical ways: they have less surface contact with the water; and they are designed to turn on a dime.
As we teach boys to become whitewater boaters, we start with “boat feel” – getting used to how to sit comfortably and move with the boat instead of working against it. A paddler who stays relaxed and moved with the boat is far less likely to find himself on the “swim team.”
Check out the video below of Sam and Dylan on Lake Hartwell. As they paddle into the sunset they are relaxed, have good momentum and paying attention to the distict feel of a whitewater canoe.
Moving water is next! Stay tuned…

The CCBS Bears were outmatched by Seneca last night. Regardless of the score, the boys put in a great effort with strong teamwork and opportunities for everyone to be a part of the game.
Tomorrow the boys will take on Fair Oak. Go Bears!!

Dylan gets fitted for basketball shoes
Earlier this week, boys interested in playing on this year’s basketball team had a new and different shoe shopping experience – the store came to them! Coaches Kory Byrd and Yanic McDowell invited a local sports retailer to come out to campus for fittings. As a result, each student had the opportunity to try a couple of different styles and work with a specialist to ensure a good fit.
We are anxious to see this year’s game schedule and will post it as soon as we get it!
Go Bears!
