The Endzone Club: Empowering Youth Through Camps
At the Endzone Club, we annually organize a series of impactful events aimed at fostering personal growth and positive development among young individuals. One of our flagship initiatives is the annual Eric Matthews NFL Youth Football Camp, a collaborative effort with the Atlanta NFLPA chapters and the Mississippi Chapter. This event brings together aspiring young athletes to learn from NFL professionals, including Super Bowl champion Eric Matthews from the Green Bay Packers. This free camp, led by NFL alumni and in partnership with the Eric Matthews Foundation, aims to provide valuable experiences for local youth, fostering not only football skills but also crucial life skills and character development
Since 2015, The Endzone Club has proudly partnered with the Eric Matthews Foundation to host impactful youth camps across the state of Mississippi. Our journey began at Ballard Park in Tupelo, where we welcomed approximately 25 registrants to our very first camp. These camps were designed to inspire, educate, and empower young individuals, fostering personal growth and community engagement. Over the years, our programs have expanded, reaching more participants and creating lasting memories.
Our Partnership with Columbus Air Force Base
In 2018, we proudly partnered with Columbus Air Force Base to host an engaging and impactful camp. This collaboration was designed to inspire and empower participants, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. By working alongside the dedicated team at Columbus Air Force Base, we were able to provide a unique experience that combined education, leadership skills, and hands-on activities. It was a milestone achievement in our journey to create meaningful opportunities for growth and learning.
Our Move to Columbia Water Park and the Vision Behind It
In 2019 and 2020, we relocated our camp to the beautiful Columbia Water Park in Columbia, Mississippi. This move was inspired by Tech Sergeant Mitchell, a proud graduate of West Marion High School, who wanted to give back to his adopted hometown in a meaningful way. Despite facing challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited the amount of support the camps received, the vision and purpose behind this initiative remained clear and unwavering. Through these efforts, we aimed to create a positive impact on the community, fostering connection and opportunities for growth.
Together with the Eric Matthews Foundation, we remain committed to providing opportunities that shape the leaders of tomorrow.
Our Journey Back to Tupelo
In 2021, with several years of experience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality content and support, we decided it was time to return to our roots. We came back to Tupelo and set our stake in the ground, bringing with us the knowledge, expertise, and passion we had cultivated over the years. This return marks not just a homecoming, but a renewed promise to serve our community with excellence and to continue making a positive impact in the place we proudly call home.
