They call it a Mega Sports Camp because many sports are involved.
The Ada First United Methodist and Sugar Grove Methodist churches have teamed together to sponsor a sports camp that includes soccer, football, cheerleading, tennis, and basic skills.
The camp is open to every youth in the community ages 3 through 6th grade.
"We want to give kids a chance to learn more about sports, discover character building concepts, and have a whole lot of fun," said Judy Lusk, organizer.
The camp begins Thursday, Aug. 3, and continues through Sunday, Aug. 6, at Ada War Memorial Park.
