Head Coach Paul Charles

My name is Paul Charles. I've been coming to ISA for the past 9 years, and I love being able to coach young people and see them enjoy playing as they get better. I've lived in England almost all of my life, but now I go to college in Philadelphia and spend my summers working with Silver Creek Family Church and Head Coaching ISA. This year I'm looking forward to the 10th year of ISA and watching as much of the World Cup as I can. My favourite candy is Swedish Fish. :)

Caitlin Calhoun

Hi, I'm Caitlin Calhoun and this is my 10th year of either playing or coaching at ISA. This camp has had such a major impact on my life and God has taught me so much through it! Because of the positive influence the coaches at ISA had on me growing up, I spent 2 years as a voluntary youth worker in Scotland working with at risk young people through Youth for Christ, showing them God's love through coaching soccer and helping in the classroom environment. I am attending the University of Dundee in Scotland this fall to study Primary Education because God has laid the country of Scotland on my heart. ISA is my favorite thing all year so I can't wait for two weeks of amazing fun and getting to watch the World Cup after camp every day :)
