The temperature was freezing but the energy was hot at the recent Camp Savage in Boston. Fifty aspiring competitors from throughout the country and Canada attended the weekend extravaganza which included coaches such as FAP stars Lindsay Messina, Megan Hoffman, Amber Ameredes, Annette Perry and many more.
The weekend started Friday night with some dancing and "getting to know you" games. Saturday was jam packed with training, posing, nutrition lectures, individual assessments, visualization techniques, suit selections and routines! Then, on Saturday night, limousines took the campers to dinner and night club for an evening of dancing and laughter!
All the girls really loosened up! One camper said, "I am dancing with Lindsay Messina - Pinch me!" Sunday morning started with Yoga followed by more show prep topics! However, the highlight of the weekend was an entertaining skit of what Team Savage calls "post traumatic show disorder" and how to prevent it!
FAP Champion Lindsay Messina, Annette Perry and others took part in this acting segment and Lindsay actually stuffed her face in a chocolate cake! The skit was to warn girls of what can happen if they diet too hard or too excessively for a show. But they have obviously mastered the art of competing and staying healthy and all the veterans were on hand to share their feelings of the importance of a balanced life while competing. The weekend ended with a spirit segment where girls created their own Savage Cheer - to show unity, trust and balance.
Now in its 13th season, the Camp Savage Series has many other dates being scheduled including weekend programs in Chicago, Toronto and West Palm Beach with coaches FAP Champions Dawn Butterfield & Lindsay Messina, former FUP Champ Wendi West and reigning Ms. Bikini Universe Kelly Schrek.
