World’s Craziest Sports
When did "sports" begin? Is ironing clothes a sport? Can you play hockey under water? What if you combined soccer and volleyball? Find out in this Camp Kinda adventure, where we'll be vaulting into sports like limbo-skating, Parkour, toe-wrestling, and worm-charming, and checking out some wacky sports traditions, fans, and food along the way.
By the end of the adventure, you'll have learned where sports came from in the first place, explored some truly strange sports from around the world, invented your own sport to play with family or friends, and met some of the breakthrough athletes who have helped make sports available to all. So grab your foam fingers and face paint—it's game time at Camp Kinda!

The idea of making simple materials magical by combining them in different ways has fascinated us humans for centuries. Today, people around the world still mix up magical new creations, but we use different words to describe them—words like "scientist," "chemist," or even..."chef". This week at Camp Kinda, it's your turn to let your inner mad scientist loose.

Humans have been dancing for at least 9,000 years. (Whew, that's a lot of popping and locking.) And if you think about it, it's kinda... weird. We have a lot of questions about dance, and this week at Camp Kinda, we're sliding our way into some answers. Join us as we step into a few flash mobs, master some viral dance moves, and explore dances, rhythms, and music from around the world.
