With 10 seconds left on the clock, he fakes.

He pivots.

[ Horn blows ] Well, that is a rough, rough way to end the game.

Maybe I should move on to something else.

Hey, Scout!

Looks like we're not much of a team player, huh?

[ Scout yawns, Zach chuckles ] Well, we will have to figure something out, because today is Sports Day on "Camp TV."

Huh.

Maybe I could take up cycling?

[ Scout whines ] No?

Have fun at your first few activities.

It's time to get active.

Let's Move.

Oh, hey.

Ross here.

I'm just having a little passing workout with my buddy... Waldo.

Waldo, meet everyone.

Everybody, meet Waldo.

Waldo and I have been buddies for about 13 years now.

Ever since I started playing basketball.

Because when I couldn't get anybody else to go outside and play with me, Waldo was always there for me.

Thanks, Waldo.

What you need for a good pass is a good step and good arms.

Check it out.

I want you to step forward, raise the ball to your chest, extend your arms.

Once they're fully extended, release.

Now watch me play a game of pass with my good friend Waldo.

Step.

Chest.

Arms.

Release.

You guys got it?

Now go outside and work on your passing.

If you don't have a wall to throw to, but you do have a parent, sibling, friend, or even your nana to pass to, go work on it with them.

Try passing it 50 times.

Take a little water break, then 50 more times.

See you guys later.

[ Cheers and applause ] -Hi.

Being that it's Sports Day on "Camp TV," I thought a little healthy competition might be fun.

So who's ready for a... You Challenge?

See if you can figure out what sports these are by listening to the sounds they make.

Here, let me show you.

[ Ball bouncing ] Do you hear that?

Let's listen again.

[ Ball bouncing ] Sounds like basketball to me.

Let's see if we're right.

[ Ball bouncing ] Yes, the answer is basketball.

Okay, now the ball is in your court.

Ready?

What sport is this?

[ Ball thudding ] Any guesses?

If you said tennis... [ Ball thudding ] ...you're right.

Okay.

Ready for another one?

Let's listen.

[ Ball thuds ] [ Clatter ] Oh, strike!

If you said bowling, you're right.

[ Clatter ] Okay, how about this?

[ Organ plays fanfare ] [ Ball thuds ] What you think?

If you said baseball... [ Organ plays fanfare ] [ Ball thuds ] ...home run.

Okay, last one.

This one might be a little more tricky.

Ready?

[ Water splashing ] Go ahead.

Don't be afraid to dive in.

[ Water splashing ] If you said swimming, you are right.

Good job, you good sport.

See you after your next activity.

Ready for some math that counts?

Count On.

-Hi.

My name's Norah.

And today I'm gonna show you one of my favorite math games to play at home.

Have you ever gone bowling?

Well, now you can get your bowl on at home.

No borrowed shoes required.

And you can practice counting by 5s and 10s along the way.

It's time to... bowl for the goal.

Let's do it.

To play this game, you'll need to gather up some empty cans or bottles around your house.

You can use any different kind that you might have.

I have 10 different cans for my game.

Make sure that they're empty and clean, or you'll have a pretty big mess on your hands.

You'll also need some tape, a ball, or you can make your own ball by just rolling up a sock that you have at home, and somewhere to keep track of your score, like a piece of paper and a marker or a pen or a pencil.

Okay, now we have to set up our bowling pins, or for me, these empty cans.

So normally when you bowl, each pin you knock down is worth 1 point.

But for our game, we have pins that are worth different amounts of points.

So we're gonna some pins that are worth 5 points, some pins that are worth 10 points, and two extra-special pins that are worth 100 points each.

Okay.

So I need to mark which cans, or pins, are which amount of points.

So I'm gonna pick three cans to be 5 points.

And you can -- You could paint the entire can a certain color if you wanted, or if you had colored tape, you could use that.

But for me, I'm just gonna use this regular masking tape that I have.

I'm gonna wrap it around the can, and then I'm just gonna color that.

So I'm gonna color my 5-point pins red.

And I'm gonna mark those with a 5.

♪♪ ♪♪ Now I need five pins that are worth 10 points.

So I am gonna do the same thing with my tape, but I'm gonna color these pins blue and put a 10 on them.

♪♪ ♪♪ And my last two pins are each worth 100 points.

And these two, they're already green.

But I'm gonna do the same thing.

I'm going to add a piece of tape and color that green so I'm sure I know which ones are my 100-point cans.

♪♪ ♪♪ Okay.

All my pins are ready.

Let's set them up.

Here's how I set up my pins.

I used the same triangle shape that you'd see at a bowling alley.

I started with one 5-point pin in the front, and then I put two 5-point pins on either side in the row right behind the first one.

And then in the third row, I put three 10-point pins, and in the last row, I put two 10-point pins in the middle and my 100-point pins on the outside.

You can play around with different configurations, different shapes, different setups as you go as well.

Now let's bowl.

I put a piece of tape down on the floor to show me the line I have to stay behind while I roll my ball.

And if you have more space, maybe you could do this standing up, like, if you were outside.

But since I have a small space, I'm gonna bowl from sitting down, and I'm just gonna roll my ball along the floor to try to knock down as many pins as I can.

Let's give it a shot.

Okay, here we go.

In three... two, one.

I got a couple.

Let's count them up.

Let's see.

I'm going to count up my points as I go here.

I see I knocked down 5... 10.

Looks like that's all my 5-point pins.

So that's a total of 10 points.

And then my 10-point pins.

10.

20.

Okay.

That's all my 10-point pins.

And then my 100-point pins.

I got 100, 200.

So if we add all of those points together, we have 10 plus 20... plus 200.

That gives us 230 points total.

Great.

I think that was pretty good for a first try.

You can try this at home, too, either by yourself, and see how many rounds it takes you to get 500 or 1,000 points, or play with a friend or a family member.

Take turns throwing a ball and see who can get the most points overall.

Well, I hope you had a ball playing.

Get it?

I'll see you next time.

Bye.

-It's time to get active.

Let's Move.

-Frankie here.

I hope you're ready to be set apart from other players.

Are you ready?

I think you are.

What we're gonna do is steal some bases.

All you need is yourself.

You can do this indoors or outdoors.

I'm outdoors, obviously.

Do whatever is best for you.

All you need is something to put on the ground for a base.

Let's get to it.

What we're gonna do is steal some bases.

Let's head over to our homemade base.

Right, left.

We're stepping out.

We're looking around.

Now we're turning.

Sidestep.

Still looking around.

Still looking at the action.

All right, let's start heading over, get back to that base.

Right, left.

Turn.

Ooh.

Do not shuffle over.

Shuffling will get you out.

Let's do this the correct way.

Ready?

Stepping out.

Right, left.

Turn.

Sidestep, sidestep.

Still looking around.

Still looking at that ball.

Go back to that base and do it again.

Stepping out.

Right, left.

Turn.

Sidestep, sidestep.

Looking at the action.

Looking at the picture.

All right.

Go back to that base again.

Right, left.

Turn.

Sidestep, sidestep.

Go back to that base.

Let's do this one last time.

Right, left.

Turn.

Sidestep, sidestep.

All right.

Good job.

Now it's your turn.

Go outside.

Stay indoors.

Do whatever you got to do.

Go for 15 minutes doing this.

Take a break, then go for another 15.

Because practice makes pros.

Adiós, amigos.

-You took the words right out of my mouth.

Write On.

♪♪ -If you've seen any of our other hero videos, then you already know about my personal favorite hero, Dr. Badjokes -- the hero who can solve any problem by telling a really, really terrible joke.

-Blackout in New York City.

Who will save the day?

Could Dr. Badjokes somehow tell a joke bad enough to get the lights back on?

-Hey.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

The lights.

The light who?

That's what I'm saying.

[ Rim shot, crowd boos ] -Wow, that joke was so bad, it turned all the lights back on in Times Square.

Thank you, Dr. Badjokes.

-You know, the other day I was walking around, and I saw this guy who looked exactly like Dr. Badjokes, except he wasn't saving people or solving a huge problem.

He was just sitting on a park bench reading a comic book.

And I started to be afraid.

Has Dr. Badjokes stopped being a hero?

-What?

Quinton.

What?

Of course I'm still Dr. Badjokes.

It was my day off.

Heroes can have days off, too, you know?

And on my day off, on a regular day, I like to relax and read comic books.

Is that okay?

I mean, Quinton, you do things on your day off, right?

You don't just stand around talking to a camera all day, do you?

-Ah, okay.

Yeah.

Sorry.

I'm embarrassed.

Sometimes even heroes need a normal day where they're not solving the world's problems.

My bad.

-Hey, that reminds me of a joke.

Did you hear the one about the sheep?

My "baa-d." [bad] I forgot the joke.

[ Rim shot, crowd boos ] -Actually, this can be a great way to make your hero more real and interesting to the reader.

Give them some hobbies.

Write about the soccer game they play with their little cousin or what kind of food they like or what they do around the house.

Once the big problem comes along in your story, they're gonna have to put down the comic book or kick away the soccer ball or leave their dinner unfinished anyway.

But in the meanwhile, it's nice for the reader to get to know your hero a little bit more as a person and see what they're really like before they're out there solving problems.

-One thing that I love about sports is, no matter where in the world you live, what language you speak, or how old you are, it can bring families, old friends, and new friends together.

But it's not always possible to get to a sports arena these days.

So I say let's bring the stadium to us.

You will need some green and brown construction paper, some chalk, a ruler, some craft sticks, some mini clothespins, some gray paint and a paintbrush, and some glue.

First paint three craft sticks and a clothespin gray.

Once they're dry, glue the craft sticks together to create the top of the goalpost.

Clip to the clothespin.

Next, using a ruler and chalk, draw 10-yard lines from 10 to about 30 or 40 on the green construction paper.

10... 20... 30... and 40.

Next, set up the goalpost in the end zone.

The clothespin should be able to stand on its own.

But if you want some reinforcement, you can use a small piece of clay at the base.

Last step -- Crumple up a piece of the brown construction paper into a ball and have fun trying to flick it through for a field goal.

-Yay!

-Yay!

-Yes.

[ Laughs ] Mmm.

Let's Get Cooking.

-Hi, everyone.

I'm Catherine, and I'm 13 years old.

Today we are making an easy chocolate snack cake from "America's Test Kitchen Kids."

We are going to be measuring the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.

It's super-important that we measure the right amount of ingredients that the recipe calls for.

Now we have our flour, and for the dip and sweep method, we're gonna dip our whole measuring cup into the bag.

We're gonna use the back of a butter knife to scrape it off and make sure the flour is level.

We're going to do the same thing with our 1/2-cup measuring cup.

♪♪ [ Whoosh!

Whoosh! ]

And now we're going to do the same thing with the sugar.

Oh.

[ Whoosh! ]

And finally, we're gonna use the dip and sweep method to measure out our cocoa powder.

♪♪ [ Whoosh! ]

[ Snaps fingers ] Here's the cake I made, and it looks delicious.

I can't wait to dig into this cake.

Let's give it a try.

I can't wait to try it.

[ Pop! ]

This cake is so moist and delicious, and it tastes like it was perfectly measured.

This is a great recipe to try, and you can share it with your family and friends.

Thank you so much for watching.

And now you know how to measure your dry ingredients correctly.

-A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

-What is a rhinoceros?

-Hmm.

I don't know.

-Uh... -Pretty much a nice kind of animal.

-It's brown, and it has a horn.

-I think they have two horns.

-I think they live in Africa.

-Four legs.

-They probably eat, like, other animals that are smaller.

-I think rhinos eat vegetables.

-A rhinoceros is a horned mammal.

-Which one of these photos is a rhinoceros?

-That.

-That's right.

What does the name "rhinoceros" mean?

Need a hint?

It's as plain as the nose on their face.

The word "rhinoceros" is a combination of two Greek words -- "rhino," meaning nose, and "ceros," meaning horn.

Because a few other species share this nose horn characteristic, they also have the word "rhinoceros" in their name, too -- the rhinoceros beetle, rhinoceros hornbill, rhinoceros iguana, and the rhinoceros viper.

But there's only one animal that's just called a rhinoceros.

Did you know that there are actually five different types of rhinos?

Here at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, southern white, black, and greater one-horned rhinos live in huge field exhibits.

♪♪ The white rhino is the largest rhino species.

They can grow to weigh more than 5,000 pounds.

Next in size is the Indian, or greater one-horned rhino, which may stand taller than a white rhino, but their bodies weigh just a little less.

So the greater one-horned rhino is the tallest, then the white rhino.

Next is the black rhino, then the Javan.

And last, but not least, the Sumatran rhino is the smallest, weighing in at less than 2,000 pounds.

But it has something their rhino relatives don't -- hair all over their body.

Black rhinos and white rhinos live in Africa, while greater one-horned, Javan, and Sumatran rhinos make their homes on the continent of Asia.

Sumatran, black, and white rhinos have two horns, while Javan and greater one-horned rhinos have -- you guessed it -- one horn.

How many toes does a rhino have?

Three.

Because of their odd number of toes, their closest living relatives are tapirs, horses, and zebras.

[ Insects buzzing ] An adult white rhino can produce as much as 50 pounds of dung per day.

That's a lot of poop.

The smell of each rhino pile is unique to its owner.

The newest addition to our white rhino herd arrived.

She began introductions by checking out the middens, or communal dung piles, to get to know everyone.

Then she joined the party.

A group of rhinos is called a crash.

[ Tires screech, crash ] You can tell which species of rhino eats what kind of food by looking at their mouths.

Greater one-horned and black rhinos have a hooked prehensile top lip that's great for grasping and browsing.

The white rhino, on the other hand, has a wide, flat upper lip that's perfect for grazing.

Rhinos may look tough, but their skin is actually quite sensitive.

They can sunburn.

That's why they like to wallow in mud.

It puts a nice protective layer on their skin and keeps them cool.

Different rhino species definitely have different personalities.

Black rhinos need to be fierce because they're solitary, which means they live alone... unlike white rhinos that live in groups, or crashes.

They rely on each other for protection.

Rhinos are often hunted for their horns, which is believed in some cultures to have medicinal uses.

The rhino horn is made up of keratin, which is the same thing that makes up our hair and our fingernails.

Regrettably, neither human hair, nor fingernails, are proven to possess the healing powers that some people think are found in rhino horns.

If people believed that, they could chew on their own fingernails or their own hair in order to feel well and stop the needless hunting of rhinos.

I hope you enjoyed this crash course in rhinos.

Now you can help lead the charge to save them.

-Daytime or nighttime, it's always time for story time.

-Today we will be reading a book called "Skin Like Mine," written by LaTashia M. Perry and illustrated by Bea Jackson.

Ready?

Here we go.

"Skin like mine is quite divine.

In fact, I'd say it's one of a kind.

I wouldn't trade for any other shade.

I love my brown skin.

Oh, where do I begin?

My sister and I are both shades of brown.

Me like peanut butter, and she a hazelnut spread.

Both creamy and smooth.

If I had to choose, it'd be hard for me, because both are so yummy.

Skin like mine is really neat.

Sort of like a brownie treat.

Dark chocolate brown so tasty and sweet.

I love my skin from my head to my feet.

When I look at Grandpa's skin, you know what comes to mind?

Caramel.

That's it.

A touch of golden brown.

Drizzled on top of your ice cream.

Ooh-wee.

This is making my tummy hungry.

My best bud in the whole world, Shaun, we're like cookies and cream.

When we're together, our skin color doesn't mean a thing.

Because we know it's what's inside that matters the most.

Color should never keep two people from being close.

Imagine a world with one hue of colors.

How boring that would be.

I don't know about you, but I like variety.

Like a bag of lollipops, each bringing a different splash of flavor to my mouth.

If everyone was the same, wouldn't that be a shame?

Skin like mine is quite divine.

In fact, I'd say it's one of a kind.

I wouldn't trade for any other shade.

I love my skin.

Oh, how I love my brown skin."

Wow, that was a great book.
