St Kitts and Nevis: Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew met the participants of the Security Forces United FC Annual Crime Intervention Summer Soccer Camp 2024. This engagement took place on the morning of Friday, 26 July, 2024.
The annual, two weeks camp was organized by the security forces and supported by the Ministry of National Security, the Ministry of Sports, the Prime Minister’s Office, and more.
The Crime intervention Summer Camp commenced on July 15th and lasted for two weeks concluding on 26th July. The camp targeted children of age 7 to 17 years teaching them the significance of crime prevention efforts.
Notably, the camp included training from coaches hailing from England and the United States, providing an environment to promote sports, teamwork and discipline.
The Prime Minister lauded the organisers for creating a safe atmosphere for children that helps the youth to progress and grow through sports, while teaching the values of hard work and dedication.
Additionally, the PM Drew thanked everyone for their involvement in making this year’s camp successful. He also took time to show off his football skills to the young participants and noted that he had a lot of fun kicking the ball around.
Considerably this was the second year the camo was held and over 200 youngsters from across the federation participated in the opening day activities.
The participants grabbed the opportunity to learn from local and international coaches of renowned English Premier League Clubs like Tottenham Hotspurs, Arsenal FC, West Ham United, Manchester City, the English FA, and Onega Select Soccer Academy out of Florida.
The Crime intervention Summer Camp offered enjoyable and meaningful experience to boys and girls throughout the two-week long camp with several of them already looking for the next edition with excitement.
