Cookson Hills Sports Camp
Overview
A team is being assembled from Southeast to work alongside Cookson Hills Christian Ministries, a ranch-like residential facility for at-risk children in Oklahoma. Our team will host a sports camp, including basketball and volleyball, for Cookson’s elementary, junior high and high school students. This is a great opportunity for anyone who has experience teaching, coaching, or playing -- an incredible way to share the love of Christ through sport.
Objectives
- Providing a basketball and volleyball camp for students
- Teaching students the important aspects of the games
- Developing healthy relationships with students for the purpose of sharing Christ in a fresh new way
- Increasing the confidence and sense of importance in the students
