2009 Summer Camp
The June 19th and 20th weekend marked the WYKKO's 9th Summer Camp. As in previous years, the camp ran smoothly and a good time was had by students, instructors, and spectators. Because of his knee surgery, Hu-Kaicho Culbreth was unable to attend, but he was certainly there in spirit as all the participants gave their all during the Black Belt testing and the camp. A thank you goes out to all the kyu grades who helped with the set-up and clean-up of the event. Special thanks go out to Mr. James Roney, Ms. Jaime Hagler, and Mr. Bo Miller for their extra effort in preparing for the camp.
