This week I had the opportunity to work with boys and girls from Voice of Hope. Seeing the way the kids picked up the game so fast and how much they enjoyed us being there to teach them a new sport that they usually would not be able to see, is always fun to see. Being around kids who are picking up a lacrosse stick for the very first time and are trying to learn the sport is a nice reward for the volunteers. We were able to hand out a couple of sticks to the boys and girls at the camp. Hopefully having a stick at home will help them become encouraged to play more and also help spread lacrosse to their friends and family. I love volunteering at camps like this because for one week I am a part of bringing kids something new and fun that they will not forget. Having camps like this can really impact the lives of some kids, which would be my favorite part about volunteering at camps. I enjoyed this week and hope to do it again soon.
