2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ campers got to experience what it's like to play like an MLS star after an immersive trip to the WSFS Bank Sportsplex and Union Stadium! ⚽

Campers from Roxborough YMCA, Mt. Laurel YMCA, and sites across the City of Camden Government's Summer Rec program and Rutgers University—Camden Freedom School Camp had an unforgettable day at camp thanks to our friends at Philadelphia Union and Subaru of America, Inc.

All the kids had the opportunity to run through drills facilitated by Union Coaches, get a behind-the-scenes tour of Subaru Park, and hang with Phang! 🤩

The Y was hooked on hockey this summer thanks to our friends at Flyers Charities! Campers had a hands-on learning experience from some incredible mentors and Flyers alumni. 🏒🧡

We're walking out of this summer with better skills, a deeper love for the sport, and of course, a friendship with Gritty!
