More than 40 kids are looking forward to a great summer camp season as part of the Youth Sports For All program. With help from a foundation, business sponsors and individual donors, the generosity of our sports program partners, and a lot of work from our YSFA program coordinator, Monica, kids will be participating in seven different programs this summer. Many of them will receive new cleats, water bottles, soccer balls or other equipment to ensure they enjoy a great summer camp experience.

Better than the financial support (which is pretty darned awesome) is the commitment of all of the participating organizations to making sure that all kids have the same opportunities to benefit from afterschool and summer sports programs.

We’d like to give a shout out to the sports programs (and the people who lead them) that are making space for kids to participate: DC ICE Skate Camp, DC Way Academy, Flag Star Football, LaLiga Camp, Pedalheads, Washington Youth Rugby, and Winners Lacrosse.

A big thank you to DC Fray and District Sports for sponsoring the program and to Capitol Hill Community Foundation for its repeat support of YSFA. And thank you, also, to Dick’s Sporting Goods for its substantial discount, which allows us to equip all participants with what they need to play.
