Challenge Life Summer Camps Hit the Slope!

Challenge Life Summer Camps Heat Up The Slope!

The Challenge Life staff led by Amy Sokaitis (Yale Assistant Basketball Coach), John Dozier (Veteran Collegiate and AAU Coach), Sam Sokaitis (Master Guitar Instructor) and Lloyd Pikok (Challenge Life Coach in Training) brought summer fun to three Slope villages over the past two weeks. The staff ran programs for boys and girls of all ages in their effort to promote healthy activities in the communities. When it was all done, the participants played basketball, touch football, raced bicycles, played Native kickball and tried to master the hula hoop.

Challenge Life is hoping to make this summer program an annual event that brings a variety of activities, focuses on leadership and utilizes local residents as activity directors. Challenge Life is also hoping to add the “Young Hunter’s Program” (that is currently being developed) and a Cultural Awareness Program to the 2011 schedule. The staff at Challenge Life is convinced that a major key to the academic and athletic success of students in the winter is a fun filled activity schedule in the summer.

Final Notes!

I have the opportunity to bring a young lady to the Slope to introduce the game of lacrosse. Lacrosse is a game invented by Native Americans in upstate New York. Today, those same six nations have their own national team. Melissa Whitehead a former collegiate player at Division I Delaware University is available to spend the time and introduce this wonderful and competitive physical activity. Let me know what you think, lacrosse is fast moving, fun and very cost effective. I think our Slope students would love it.

Science Camp Opportunities

The Yeti — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 23:08:53 +0000

Jeff Drake, a professor in the science department at UAF, heads up a wonderful science camp
for kids in the summer. Visiting professors from MIT and around the globe participate. Jeff, by the
way, entertained about 450 kids at our basketball camp last summer and kept them on the edge
of their seats with exciting demonstrations. Jeff has access to a few scholarships for air fare
and tuition for rural students to attend the camp. If you have some young folks that would enjoy a unique summer camp opportunity, please contact Jeff Drake at jdrake@alaska.edu.

We all have students, children or grandchildren that would enjoy and benefit from this camp. I would act fairly quick before the tuition opportunities are gone.

Best of Everything,
