A2C Sports Character Camp

On or off the field, being a team player is necessary for success. Through challenging activities and events, we will unravel the secrets of being a great teammate. In partnership with Clemson University’s Youth Learning Institute , A2C Sports Character Camp offers boys ages 8-12 a chance to develop the skills necessary to succeed in sports and in life.

Athletes to Champions (A2C) was founded in 2007 by Cathy Parker and her husband, former NFL player Carl Parker. The Parkers are parents of four athletes, including former Clemson quarterback/outfielder and Colorado Rockies first round draft pick Kyle Parker. A2C seeks to equip communities with the resources necessary to assist athletic programs, inspire coaches and leaders to become mentors of young athletes and develop character in young athletes, encouraging them to share their God-given talents.
