The Oregon Lightning Youth Initiative Football and Cheer Camps are designed to give young athletes in Madras, Prineville, Redmond, and Bend the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence through sports. These camps provide hands-on instruction in football and cheerleading, while also teaching teamwork, discipline, leadership, and a strong sense of community.
Funds raised help cover camp operations, equipment, facility use, training materials, staffing, and other resources needed to create a safe, positive, and memorable experience for every participant. Our goal is to make these camps accessible, impactful, and inspiring for youth across Central Oregon.
Through the Oregon Lightning Youth Initiative, we are investing in local kids by creating opportunities for skill development, encouragement, mentorship, and community connection both on and off the field.
