Young athletes have a new summer camp to look forward to for years to come.
Girls track coach John Yorke began his track and field camp last week.
The camp was open to kids entering grades 3-7 and they learned all of the track and field events.
‘The kids had a great time,? said Yorke. ‘It went really well for the first year.?
A total of 23 kids participated in the first camp.
Many of the campers have participated in track, while others were new to all of the events.
‘It looks like fun,? said Grace Hamann on why she joined.
Hamann was joined by her friend Madison Wilson who has been a member of track for four years.
‘It’s fun,? said Wilson.
They learned all of the techniques to the events and were given the opportunity to give them a try and see which ones they performed the best in and see what they liked the most.
They learned hurdling, shot put, discus, high jumping, long jumping, relays, sprints, and long distance running.
Campers were rewarded for their efforts on the hot days during the week with trip to the high school pool.
