Students Raise Money for Soccer Camp

This past Tuesday, members of the JCA Boys' and Girls' Soccer teams held a spaghetti lunch to raise funds for soccer camp. The event raised $995 in profits- nearly half the total cost of camp for both teams! Each student who participated sold tickets for the event ($5 each) and received $4 toward their camp fees for each ticket sold. Five students sold enough tickets to cover their entire expenses, while several others earned about half of the money they needed. There may be one more fundraising event held before the beginning of camp for the Boys' team.

This year's camp will be held in Wilmington and will be operated by the Wilmington Hammerheads professional soccer team. The Girls' team will be going to team camp and will have a soccer professional working with them for all four days to work on particular areas which need improvement. This will take place July 11-14. The boys did not have enough participants for team camp, so they will be going to the general camp which will be held August 1-4. The cost of camp is $125 per participant. Players will need to meet at the school at 7:30 each morning and will return by 5:00 each afternoon. If you would like to attend but have not yet notified coach Collins of your intentions, you need to do so by at least the Wednesday prior to the beginning of camp. Please call the school directly at: 910-347-2358 and the information will be passed along.
