Get in on the ground floor.

Children ages 5-12 can take part in flag football and junior cheer programs being run at Camp Casey.

The season runs Mar. 2-May 2, with registration deadline set for Feb. 16. Cost is $100 per child.

Plans call for four groups, with players divided into ages 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.

The programs, run by YMCA of Snohomish County branches, focuses on “skill development, sportsmanship, and fun.”

Teams will practice once or twice a week, depending on the age group, with Saturday afternoon games kicking off Mar. 22.

All players receive a replica National Football league jersey and an NFL flag set, with each child guaranteed to play at least half of every game.

Coaches are also needed, and you can volunteer by contacting Laura Callahan at lcallahan@ymca-snoco.org.

A local institution is changing owners after almost 70 years, but otherwise, things are expected to remain virtually the same.

Seattle Pacific University publicly announced Friday it entered a purchase and sale agreement with the YMCA of Snohomish County in September to sell the Camp Casey Conference Center and Fort Casey Inn.

The change becomes effective Jan. 1, 2025.

SPU has owned the property since purchasing it in 1956.

Camp Casey served “as an extension of Seattle Pacific’s educational mission and character formation through hosting classes and retreats as well as serving external groups like sport camps, churches, (and) educational groups,” SPU officials said in a statement,

As part of the announcement, SPU also released a FAQ list covering topics such as whether current reservations will be honored, what happens to the Camp Casey staff, and why the sale was made.

Hoopaholics, the early days.

They’re hitting both a milestone, and nothing but net.

Hoopaholics, a basketball camp geared at guys in the 30-and-above crowd, returns to Whidbey Island June 14-16.

It’s the 35th anniversary for the event, which is centered around Camp Casey, with game action held at Coupeville High School.

CHS players, coaches, and parents traditionally help out with clock management, food, and such, during the weekend, with Hoopaholics donating money to the Wolf hoops programs in return.

To be eligible to participate, you need to be 30 years of age and still possess a burning desire to pursue God’s Chosen Sport.

Though this year, in conjunction with the camp being held on Father’s Day Weekend, you can bring your son along, if they’re 21 or older.
