2015 High School Youth Bridge Camp

Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, MO

 

 

WannaPlayBridge High School Bridge Camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, MO was a huge success for its first year!  We had campers from seven states (CA, CO, IL, LA, MA, MO, WI), including Katie Seibert granddaughter of Linda Seibert, and now one of our youngest Unit 143 members.  We learned bridge, playing pair games as well as Swiss teams.  We stayed in college dorms and ate in the school cafeteria.  In addition to bridge, we took a campus tour, went bowling, saw the Walter Cronkite Memorial, went to the college theater, had our own talent show, and learned some new games for free time, as well as basketball, volleyball, and frisbee.

Katie granddaughter of Seibert, Linda Siebert Unit 143 President, attended camp and joined the ACBL,

Kathy Rolfe from Unit 131 and Phyllis Siegel from Unit 143 were the organizers and teachers.  George Marvin, also from Unit 143, was the boys' counselor who assisted in playing, teaching, and more!  As soon as we hear dates for next year, we will let you know!  Surely, you have children, grandchildren, or neighbors who want to learn bridge.  As one student said, “Where else could he go to make friends who share his passion for learning bridge.”
