Former Wolfpack player and wife hosting online camp to help girls ‘soar’
KINSTON, N.C. (WTVD) — A lot of camps across the country have been forced to close because of COVID-19 while others are flourishing on digital platforms including one camp here in North Carolina that’s been able to expand to campers in other states.
“When we were in eastern North Carolina I would say mostly kids,” Margo Dawson said. “It was majority kids who were high-risk and then we would have some other kids sprinkled in as well. We didn’t know what was going to happen this year. Not only did we recruit girls from Raleigh … Kinston, New Bern, we recruited girls from Maryland and Virginia Beach. How do you turn people away?”K
Dawson and her husband, former NFL and NC State player Dr. Lin Dawson started a non-profit in his hometown of Kinston to rebuild, reclaim and restore eastern North Carolina, and since 2014, every summer they have put on STEM education camps.
This year, with COVID-19, they didn’t know whether a summer camp would be possible.
