Bible school, soccer camp coming up Making it safer The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund made its 42nd donation late last month in Auburn, placing a defibrillator in the Auburn Community Hall. Thanks to a donation from the late John MacKay, an Auburn native, and the Auburn Lions Club, the donation was installed by Fund founder Patrick Armstrong, right, and Travis Teed of the Lions, left. The life-saving machine was placed in the name of Doug Cantelon; the second placed in Cantelon’s name, the first was at the Central Huron Fire Department station in Clinton. Joining Armstrong and Teed for the donation was Irene Cantelon, Doug’s widow. (Shawn Loughlin photo) The wind was picking up and you could hear thunder off in the distance. Rain would soon be here. Out in the field at Huron Chapel youth leader Rob Campbell was frantically at work trying to attach and set up the new soccer nets to the goal posts. He managed to do it just in time before the threatening storm hit the field. The reason behind Campbell’s hurried efforts is due to the upcoming Soccer Camp coming to Auburn July 27-30. After taking a year off last summer, demand has prompted the return of the camp which is put on by Athletes In Action and Huron Chapel. The goal of the camp is that a child can pursue their passion for soccer while being developed as a total athlete. Athletes In Action, which has been running these camps since 1993, says the company is wanting to help athletes develop physically, spiritually and mentally based on Christian principles in an environment that is fun and engaging. The coaches for these camps bring years of coaching and performance experience with backgrounds ranging from university athletes to club and youth coaches. They serve as great role models for campers both on and off the field. This year there will be four coaches coming to work along side with Huron Chapel volunteers at the July camp. These coaches include Jonathan Theissen, 21, a history major studying at Redeemer University in Ancaster, Greg Voskcamp, 22, who recently graduated from Redeemer, Tanya Couperous, 19, a psychology major who is hoping one day to work with troubled teens, and Meaghan Rudd, 21, who is studying Kinesiology at Redeemer as well. Also this week, beginning on July 5, Vacation Bible School will be returning to Auburn. Last year the Huron Chapel also took a hiatus from their traditional Vacation Bible School but are back in force this year hoping for the 200 plus kids who have been part of the program in recent years. Once again there will be a live band, a huge market place in the gymnasium, the best crafts, treats to eat and powerful lessons.
