very summer, the Walter Payton Recreation and Wellness Center at Jackson State runs Camp Tiger Tails for children ages 6 to 16 from the Jackson Public School District and the neighborhood surrounding campus. During the fiveweek program, 115 participants play sports, learn about nutrition and practice teambuilding. This year, campers ended their summer with a homemade boat race and a dip in the pool at the T.B. Ellis Gym.
