International track star Lolo Jones paid a visit to Summer Day Camp at The Salvation Army's Citadel Corps on June 28. She recounted for an NBC film crew her experiences as a child she and her homeless family lived Citadel Corps for a period of time. While at the Corps, Lolo played a game of dodge ball with the day camp children and spent time encouraging the children to reach for their goals.
