GSP Tunis continues to provide excellent year-round programming. In 2023, this included four weeks of fun, structured summer camp. In June, the camp season kicked off with a week of baseball. The team worked alongside Tunisian coaches to teach specific skills, while also teaching the kids (ages 4-14) how to play with a high level of character.
Weeks two and three were a multi-disciplinary camp. Participants had the opportunity to engage with different disciplines such as sport, art, swimming, music, technology, etc. while the sections are taught by Tunisian teachers and coaches.
“It was a highlight to see everything come together to provide an excellent experience for campers and families, there were so many smiling and happy faces throughout camp.”– James Max Miller, GSP Tunis Representative.
“Another highlight was working alongside the Tunisian coaches and teachers. I saw their gifts and abilities at work every day. For the multi-discipline camp, we had a staff of about 30 Tunisian coaches. All of them had different giftings and abilities that they used during camp,“ Miller said.
A group of American interns came to support the team in putting on a well-rounded camp experience. One of the visiting interns unfortunately hurt his leg during camp. This experience gave the staff an opportunity to practice adaptability and modify what roles would serve everyone best. Another staff member stepped into his swimming instruction role without hesitation and did a fantastic job!
The final week of camp focused on basketball. Though the temperatures were high, the team’s spirits were higher! “Our hope in these camps is that the players not only walk away with high quality training, but also lessons that they can apply in all areas of their lives. We don’t determine our success at camp by what we receive as GSP reps, but what the campers (and staff) can walk away with and apply to the rest of their lives” – Miller said.
GSP Tunis continues to provide stellar programming and you can look forward to some new sports being highlighted from the Fall season!
