‘Twas the night before sports camps, when all through the town
Every child was stirring, all over and around
The shirts were designed and ordered with care
In colors that the staff and students would love to wear;
The campers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of J-Mo danced in their heads;
And Papa G with his donuts, and Professor J with his lessons
Had just started preparing for their Skybacher sessions
When across the town, alarm clocks rang with a clatter,
Children sprang from their beds throwing their clothes on that were a scatter;
Away to Freedom Middle School their parents drove in a hurry,
Once parked the kids jumped out in a flurry
The staff was there waiting for them to arrive
Just as excited to watch the “More Than” sports camps come alive;
When, what to their delighted eyes did appear,
But parents and their kids smiling ear to ear
With a little time to register, and get them all set,
The kids grabbed some basketballs and headed off to a net.
More and more children piled into the gym
Looking out for basketballs bouncing off the rim
Welcome, Jay, and Mitchell, and Nick, and Daisy!
Nice to meet you, Jacob and Austin and Chloe and Maisie!
Then John started the day by sharing some great news
His message one that they can always use
They broke into age groups and started some drills,
But those were interspersed with lots of fun thrills.
The staff and the campers got to know one another,
While games were played, and a few kids cried for their mother
The day came to an end and with freeze pops in hand
While sharing fun stories, the children filled back to their minivans
The first day may be over and done
But luckily there are plenty of sports camps still to come
So, if you haven’t registered yet
It’s not too late to get your kids set
Just sitting around the house could be such a bummer
When you could join us for a “More Than” sports camp summer!
