Camp Director: Timmy Waller

Picture
Timmy Waller grew up in Africa where he played soccer every day with his brothers and local kids. When he graduated, he went to Cedarville University and played college soccer there for 4 years. His first summer, some of the upper class men from the soccer team told him he should try coaching OnGoal, a Christian soccer camp organization, over the summer. After one summer, he was hooked and learned to love coaching and teaching. OnGoal combined high quality soccer, which he loved, with the message of God’s love and hope for us. It was also a ton of fun for both the kids and coaches! He did OnGoal every summer in college, and after graduating, he moved out to the Northwest to marry his wife Anna. After getting married in 2015 , they moved to Trout Lake where he took a job as a PE and history teacher at the school where he still works. He also coaches the HS soccer team there. He and Anna now have 3 precious boys with a 4th baby on the way this summer! He has continued to be involved in youth camps through the school and has maintained his connection to OnGoal going back a couple of different times to do camps with them in the Midwest. The opportunity presented itself to bring OnGoal to Camp Jonah, and Timmy is excited to bring the joy of soccer camp and the wonderful message of Christ’s hope to kids this summer!
