The Youth & Elder Summer camp is a 12-session sports camp at the West Willow Park, aimed at promoting health, wellness, community cohesion, and intergenerational collective work by offering yoga sessions for elders and sports such as basketball, football, and soccer for youth. The camp aims to engage different age groups, encouraging intergenerational participation and active lifestyles. The camp runs every Sunday from 2:00 to 3:30 PM. This initiative is designed to foster stronger community bonds, provide structured activities for diverse age groups, and enhance the overall well-being of West Willow’s residents free of charge.
From our onging work from our Storytelling, Action, and Advocacy group, West Willow residents have shed light on a common community issue that both elders and youth within West Willow resonated with. The group collectively identified the West Willow park as an area in need of immediate change. The West Willow community sees the park as a central place to create a safe place to build community and play.
