Caleb Plant Makes Impact At Spring Mountain Youth Camp In Las Vegas

This past Saturday, undefeated super-middleweight contender Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant, (15-0, 10 KOs), made an impact while doing a speaking engagement to at-risk teens at the Spring Mountain Youth Camp (SMYC) in Las Vegas, NV.

Caleb spoke to the youth about a variety of subjects but mostly about staying focused on their goals.

“I really wanted to come talk with these kids instead of at them,” said Plant. “The kids were very well mannered and they asked a lot of questions. I was honest with them and I believe I made a positive impact on the entire group.

“They have a boxing program up there and I was able to give a few pointers to some of the kids. It was a very uplifting experience for me and I’m grateful to the Spring Mountain youth leaders for inviting me.”

Spring Mountain Youth Camp is a staff-secure correctional facility, housing male youth between the ages of 12 and 18. The camp provides for the therapeutic, educational, social, medical and recreational needs of approximately 240 young men each year.

SMYC is located at Angels Peak in the Mt. Charleston National Forest Area. It sits at an elevation of 8,470 feet and has a capacity of 100 youth.
