3 days + 5 sports = Happy Campers

July 17th, 2009 by YES Staff

This year’s Jack Thompson Sports Camps marked our 5th year of partnership with Run to WIn and Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission in offering these sports camps to our neighborhood children. The kids love those 3 days of learning and running and laughing and running and scoring and running! I talked to a group of children today who were still excited because at the Jack Thompson camps they could learn soccer from Mr. Koa in the mornings and in the afternoons, they could learn how to run patterns from a few of the Evergreen High School football players! Meanwhile, the girls from the Evergreen High School Volleyball team headed up the volleyball camp and a few of the athletes from Evergreen’s tennis team taught tennis! For kids like Andrew and Isaiah and Delaney, it was all Hoop Time!
