We will once again sponsor the Challenger British soccer camp at Fifth District Park behind Lettie Dent Elementary. The camp will be held August 3-7 from 9:00 to 4:00. Costs range from $64 for five 1 hr sessions for 3-4 yr olds to $161 for all day camp for 9-16 yr olds (prices include a 5% fee for use of the park). Register early and you’ll receive a free British Soccer Jersey ($30 value). Registrations received after July 24^th will require a late fee. Contact Erica Vallee, our camp coordinator, at ervallee@yahoo.com or 884-2776 and check Challenger’s website, www.challengersports.com for online registration. This is a great experience for kids and is very popular with those that have attended in the past. The trainers for the camp come from Great Britain and travel the country through the summer working at the various camps sponsored by leagues like ours. The trainers are typically in their late teens or early twenties and live with host families while staying in the area. Therefore, we need families to volunteer to open their home to the trainers while they are here. Speaking from personal experience, this is a rewarding experience for the whole family but particularly for younger kids that get to learn about the trainers’ home countries and the places they travel. Contact Erica if you are interested in hosting a trainer.
