Over 120 children attended HTIL 3rd annual soccer camp held for youths in Barrett Town, Rose Hall (Jamaica) in July. The camp lasted for 5 days and had daily attendance averaging around 75 kids. This year, the number of girls who participated was more than 5 times that of last year. One of the girls (a first timer) said, “… this is exciting; I am normally at home just bored, but I am having so much fun here!”
The camp hosted children ranging from age 5 to 15 at the Barrett Town community center:
- Camp started at 8 am daily and ended at noon
- The children were treated to lunch daily
- Three All Star Championship games held on last day of camp
- Players were awarded with medals
- 3 MVP trophies were awarded based on performance and sportsmanship for the whole camp
- Most outstanding soccer scholars were selected
HTIL wants to express special thanks to all who contributed to make this event materialize.
