On Tuesday, July 15, the entire Portland Thunder arena football team visited the
Tribal campus and led a youth football camp. Spirit Mountain Casino is a sponsor of
the team for the 2013-14 season and arranged the camp in an effort to make its spon-
sorships more about the Tribe and the community. Forty-nine youths participated in
the camp, where they ran receiving, catching, running and hitting drills, and were
taught throwing techniques.
