The Summer Camp at ISDenver is giving us a lot of great stories to share.
At the Football camp, the students were thrilled at the unique opportunity to spend a week learning from exceptional college players like Adrian Jackson. This experience not only enhanced their football skills but also gave them valuable life lessons. 

There is a unique bond that you create when playing football with others. It teaches young people how to overcome adversity, take coaching and how to communicate with others. Whether they go and play the sport or not, as they get older it teaches new skills to prepare for situations off the field! - Adrian Jackson

Today A'Jon Vivens shares his experience as ISDenver Football camp lead teacher.

"Football is the most popular sport in America and is becoming even more popular as social media continues to grow. I feel that it is essential for the campers who choose ISDenver this summer to learn proper fundamentals, the importance of playing as a team, and, most importantly, how fun football can be! 

I played football throughout high school and five years in college at Colorado State University. Many students know me already, so I knew they would gravitate to others who also played at higher levels. That is when I decided to invite my friend Adrian Jackson, who I played with at Mullen High School, who was an Under Armour All-American, played football, and graduated from the University of Oregon, to be a coach. We were also joined by my Colorado State teammate Jaylen Thomas, who played with me for four years. He then graduated and played a year at Kent State University, where he earned his master's as well. 

It was important for the kids to see and learn about what it takes to make it to that level and for us to talk to them about the importance of competing, working hard, and good sportsmanship. 

We want to be able to inspire them to go after their dream, whatever it may be, and show them that they can reach the goals they set."

"Coaching the football camp was incredibly important to me because it provided an opportunity to teach the fundamentals of the game, foster a love for football and create a fun, supportive environment where kids can build friendships and develop teamwork skills." - Jaylen Thomas
