Clear Fork Youth Track Camp #2 was held June 22-26, 2009 with nearly twice as many kids attending this year as last year. The Do Something.org money helped buy t-shirts for each camper and the coaches and varsity team members that helped run the camp. Two additional donations were received as well. A donation of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and participation ribbons for all campers was provided by Mr. Jay Jacquet of North Central State College. An additional donation of a tent for shade during the rest period was provided by my grandfather, Ramsey Burrows. A big thank you to Do something.org, Mr. Jacquet and grandpa for helping our camp to grow! Although I have graduated and am on my way to University of Akron, where I will continue with Track and Field, I hope to continue to support the youth track program at Clear Fork High School.
Youth Track and Field Camp

50why it's important:
Our track team held its first ever youth track and field camp last summer. We introduced the fundamental skills and the events held at a track meet. We loved interacting with the kids and they had a really good time. We held a mini meet at the end of the week.
the plan of action:
We went to the classrooms on the last day of school and handed out flyers. We all got together early and set up the track and signed in the kids. We held small group sessions so they could try every thing each day.
how you can get involved:
We dont have any money to go on, and we really need equipment, water bottles, and t-shirts would be nice too. We need donations of ribbons or medals and a podium for the winners of the mini meet.
project updates:
So happy to learn we were the winners of a $250 grant to help with next summer's youth track and field camp. And, we learned a lot about running a camp, what to do and what not to do. So, it should really be a great camp next summer!
