Posted by Dirk Knudsen at Aug 10, 2008 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

It was a great week in Oregon this Summer and the Coaches had a great time working with all of the boys. The talent level was excellent as was the weather and the food! Camp was capped off by a very special surprise this year as Coach Knudsen told Coaches Derby, Kela, and Beazley that he had a some special Friends that he wanted them to meet.

After just a 5 minute ride they arrived in the Country side outside of Portland at the farm of Matt and Amy Roloff; the Stars of the hit TLC Series Little People Big World! Coach Dirk sold the Roloff's their Farm and helped them get started in life in Oregon. It was an awesome visit with Matt giving us a great tour and Amy spending some time with us as well. We even made it on Camera as we surprised Jeremy and his friends as they worked on yet another fort. The coaches are greatful to Matt and Amy and appreciated the tour very much. When you see all they have done and all they plan to do it just makes you want to do more and try for the best in your life each day! Thanks Again You guys.... your great! It was a real site to see 6'6" Coach Sam and Matt standing side by side. What a pair they made! Awesome you guys.... just awesome!
