KCC Volleyball Camp
By Tina Turn
The annual KCC Bearcat elementary volleyball camp was held on Wednesday, May 28 and Thursday, May 29.
There were 65 elementary campers in attendance and over 30 high school helpers from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
The hours are broken down into skill sessions, minute-to-win-it contests, lunch, outdoor recess, team games, and court movement. The camp is wrapped up with the drawing of some prizes.
Both Kittson Central gyms are very busy for the two days, and it’s a great opportunity for young girls to develop volleyball skills, fall in love with the game, and spend time with the older players who have the chance to give back since they were once the “little’ girls looking up to the “big” girls.
