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.

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.
