The Grand Rapids Tidal Waves held a free youth camp on Saturday, October 22 at Riverside Park in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Grand Rapids. It was a sunny day in the mid-70s and the laughs of the kids could be heard throughout the camp. One family drove down from Mt. Pleasant just to attend the camp as their daughter had recently shown interest in the sport of football. There were 11 Tidal Waves players and Head Coach Davis in attendance to teach the campers about the game of football and multiple positions. Stations included running back, quarterback, receiving, offensive/defensive line, linebacker, and place kicking. The Waves plan to make the camp an annual event so be on the lookout next Fall for registration.
