The camp
was part of the school’s Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN) summer programming
through LifeWorks NW (http://www.lifeworksnw.org/). Youth
arrived by 8:45 a.m. for a light breakfast and then spent three hours each
morning in the classroom learning about service learning and playing soccer at the
nearby St. Johns City Park and on James John’s community-built soccer field (Click here to learn more about the field!) Before
leaving for the day, campers enjoyed a healthful lunch.
James
John looked more like a movie set than a summer camp one morning, as the youth
starred in an informational video about AC Portland’s programming. The video will
be shown at Jeld-Wen Field during a Portland Timbers match on Aug. 5. Many
thanks to Matt Gromley and his team for all of their help with this!!!
ACP also thanks
the following volunteer coaches for helping make the camp a success: Cameron
Bennett, Eric Berg, Jarred Frazier, Joel Hawk, Josh Hawk and Delaney Miller.
Stay tuned to see the video and to hear about some exciting new changes that will be happening for AC Portland!!!!
