Members of the Boston College football team have made two trips to Camp Harbor View this summer to assist counselors and spend time with the children attending the camp.
On July 16, approximately 25 student-athletes attended the camp in the 90-degree heat. Mayor Menino was also in attendance that day. Last Friday, 20 more Eagles and five cheerleaders visited the camp as they ate lunch with the children, played football and basketball and even went sailing.
Camp Harbor View offers 600 children ages 11-14 who live in Boston's at-risk neighborhoods the opportunity to leave the city during the day and participate in a four-week summer camp program. Offering the traditional activities that summer camp is known for, such as hiking, arts and crafts, and swimming, Camp Harbor View also includes programs that strive to build children's confidence and leadership strengths.
