Today was the 3rd and final day of our “Kick-Off Summer”
Football Camp, and boy was it hot! We made sure everyone stayed hydrated, but they worked so hard!

As you enjoy the photos, we want to again thank Artez Brown for his amazing coaching and leadership, the Newport School District and their coaching staff, and HUGE thank you to Gen4Jets for sponsoring our camp t-shirts this year!

And, we also want to give a special shout-out to the mamas, daddys, grandmas, grandpas, babysitters, volunteers, etc. who made sure their kids showed up every day. We had 45 kids overall participate in this camp. We hope we made a small difference in these kids’ lives, and it will be something they remember and take with them!

Day #2 of our “Kick-Off Summer” Football Camp with the Joe and Helen Harris Foundation. Lots of hard work, water breaks, and great teamwork by all of these talented young people! Artez Brown really put these kids through a good workout today!

Thanks to Newport School District for their partnership in allowing us to host the camp on the new and beautiful Greyhound Field! 🧡🖤

Many thanks to the Newport School District, Coach Brian Reardon, the coaching staff and the players for their partnership and assistance in making Day 1 a success! Playing on the new turf field was awesome!

Wednesday was Day 2 of the Joe and Helen Harris Foundation’s “Whisk & Wag” Meal Prep and Cooking Camp, and the kids got down to business in the kitchen with Leanne Moss Bradley!

Also, we were fortunate enough to have Ashlyn Ussery, Agriculture & Natural Resource Coordinator with the Northeast Rice Research & Extention Center and her two interns, Savannah Davis and Celeste Pratt, come and talk with the kids about taking rice from its raw, natural state to being ready to cook and serve. The kids were able to taste various types of rice.

The chicken bowls (using rice!) prepared by the kids looked magnificent!

Many thanks to those who helped make this two-day camp a success! Leanne Bradley - Instructor; Newport School District - for allowing us to use their facility; Unity Health Newport - for their financial sponsorship; Jennifer Hare James - for donating the rice; and the Northeast Rice Research & Extension Center - for educating our kids about rice!

We could not have asked for a better group of young people at the first day of our “Whisk & Wag” Meal Prep & Cooking Opportunity Camp with the Joe and Helen Harris Foundation!

Our young campers listened, participated, worked extremely hard and were so respectful. We are very proud of these fine young people!

Leanne Bradley took them through prepping and preparing several different menu items, while giving them pointers we can all use! Check out their menu from today and see pics of everyone becoming little chefs with BIG talent!

Many thanks to Unity Health Newport for sponsoring this camp, and to Newport School District for their partnership. We’ll have more from Day Two tomorrow!

We had a lot of busy “Little Hands in the Kitchen” this morning at our Cooking Summer Opportunity Camp! The little chefs started out by decorating their personalized chef’s hats and learning sanitary safety with hand washing and how truly dirty our electronic devices are!

Then, it was into the kitchen to make pepperoni sliders, mummy hotdogs and yummy apple nachos!

Many thanks to Leanne Bradley and her student volunteers for a fun, lively and successful camp today! If your child attended, hopefully they will take what they learned and cook for you sometime soon!

We appreciate Unity Health Newport for sponsoring this camp!

Thank you to Newport School District for partnering with us and helping to making this happen!
