Week 4 California, final week in Cali

For the fourth week in California we were scheduled to go to the Bay Area of California for some events. First we went to the Sacramento area for a Cleats Soccer camp on Monday the 24th, and also to pick up another intern from the airport. After we picked up Martin from the airport we then drove to San Francisco where we had the next day off. We spent the day checking out some of the downtown area. The following day on the 26th we crossed over to Oakland for the Jack Hyde Soccer camp of about 70 kids. We had a fastest shot contest with each age group of the camp and gave out prizes to each, as well as leaving catalogs and posters for everyone. On the 27th we then went south to Atherton, CA which is between San Francisco and San Jose. There we went to the Atherton Lax Camp which was a very small and low talent camp but we were still successfull in reaching the kids. Now that the weekend was here we had our last few events. On Saturday the 28th we went back up to San Francisco for a WPSL game in the after noon and following that we drove back down to San Jose for a Major League Lacrosse game. At the lacrosse game we set up a tent inside the main entrance of the stadium and gave out free catalogs and stickers as well as raffled off prizes ever quarter. Also we did the same on field contest that we did at the LA lacrosse game previously. Basically we gave two kids three chances to catch a velcro ball on a pad attached to helmet. While the two kids didn't win we still gave them some free stuff. What we didn't know was this was our last event in California. We were scheduled for a women's professional game the following day but due too the fires in California it was canceled. So we drove back down to the LA area and hit up the beach the last few days we were there.
