Teen Achievers of Sulphur Springs’ Summer Experience Campers are seen here with players of the Tampa Bay Inferno Women’s Tackle Football team.

Tampa Bay Inferno, in partnership with Fit and Fun at the Y, visited our Teen Achievers of Sulphur Springs’ Summer Experience Camp, which is funded by Children’s Board of Hillsborough County

Members of the Inferno ran the kids through football drills and shared some life lessons. Ninety percent of these kids have never been to summer camp until this year.

"The Tampa Bay Inferno are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Tampa YMCA by inspiring youth to stay active and healthy. We had a blast with the teens at the Fit and Fun Summer Experience. These teens have a bright future ahead of them! We are honored to support such a wonderful organization in our community," says Tampa Y Director of Administration and Tampa Bay Inferno Tackle Football Team Owner Jennifer Moody. 

The camp staff are certified teachers of the School District of Hillsborough County. Two are actually assistant principals who wanted to use their talents to combat summer learning loss. This is the Y’s eighth consecutive year of offering this camp for youth. The summer camp, a 5-week academic summer camp program for the Teen Achievers, services children ages 11-14.

"Fit and Fun is just a portion of the all-day camp," says Nicole Kettermann, Healthy and Safe Children Director at Fit and Fun at the Y. "We spend two hours Monday through Wednesday in support of the physical activity and nutritional education component."

Thank you again to the Tampa Bay Inferno and the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County for making this summer extra special! For more photos, visit our Facebook page
