Girls from Olney and surrounding areas in grades two through six enjoyed a free volleyball camp on July 19-21. Kalynn Philipp, who runs the Olney Youth Sports Facebook and Youth Organization, was the inspiration and key planner and was disappointed to have been under the weather during the event and could not attend.
Alyson Orsak, third grade Olney Elementary School teacher and Cheer Sponsor for the 2022-2023 Olney High School Cheer Squad, hosted a fundraiser/cheer camp with the help of the OHS Cheer Squad and Baylee Orsak.

Among other skills, the campers learned fundamentals of cheerleading including stunt & jump, chanting, cheering, having fun and instilling spirit. Cheer camp lasted from July 21-23 and ended with a live performance, performed by cheer camp attendees for parents and the local community.
