FCA gearing up for Power Sports Camp

Sports Camps

MADISON – The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) has a full slate of summer happenings and is preparing for the events which include one of the annually most attended camps among the FCA schedule. The Madison West County Power Sports Camp will be held at Bob Jones High July 14-18 with a cost of just $225 for each camper ages 7-13 and is one of the most popular of all the Summer Camps presented by the Northeast Alabama Chapter of the FCA.

Additional Sports Camps will be held June 9-13 at Grace Fellowship Presbyterian Church for the Marshall County Power Sports Camp, June 1620 at Whitesburg Baptist Church in Huntsville for the Madison County East Power Sports Camp and July 7-11 at Cullman High for the Cullman County Power Sports Camp.

Each camp includes daily lunches, FCA devotional, The Book of John, T-Shirt, water, sunscreen and free Family Night Dinner (Cullman Co. and Madison Co. West). Included will be expert instruction on the sport of the camper’s choice for the week, quiet time led by high school and college interns, special guests sharing each day, huddle competition and fun galore.

Over 60 interns will be joining the summer activities serving for FCA. Those incredible leaders, ranging from rising high school juniors to college seniors, have all gone through one-on-one interviews in preparation for the Summer Power Camps.

Details on how to register for any of the four camps and the inner-workings of each camp can be found on the FCA website at www.northalabamafca. org.

In addition to the camps, FCA will also host two Power Leadership Training (PLT) Conferences. A middle school conference is set for July 24-25 for sixth-to-eighth graders at Madison Academy in Madison. The high school conference for students in grades 9-12 will be held at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville Aug. 1-2. Details for both conferences are also available on the FCA website.

Additional upcoming events for FCA include the Minister Appreciation Lunch at Cheesecake Factory Tuesday, April 22, 12:00-1:00 PM, Park at the United Community as part of Panoply of the Arts scheduled for downtown Huntsville Friday- Saturday, April 25-27, the Citizens Charity Golf Classic on Monday, May 5 at Gunter’s Landing Golf Course in Guntersville and the Fall Golf Classic to help raise money for FCA at The Ledges on top of Huntsville Mountain in Southeast Huntsville, Monday, Aug. 25.
