Camp WINners
The team captains for Camp WIN are high school aged girls who act as camp counselors. They are mentors and motivators for the campers and help the coaches and instructors. “I look forward to being a team captain every summer because of the wonderful opportunity it brings for me to meet new people and make a difference in the lives of young girls,” says Mary Joyce. Camp WIN will take place from June 3rd through the 6th at St. Teresa’s Academy for girls ages nine through 12 and from June 17th through the 20th at Rockhurst University for girls ages six through eight. Campers will learn at least 14 sports and fitness activities, from yoga to flag football.
