All campers will receive a weekly swim lesson from our trained instructors. Other fun will include crafts, story time and lots of games.
Specialty camps can add variety to the Summer Camp experience. Our Sports Camps are the perfect destination for every child who enjoys playing sports and being active. Our Focus is on helping campers of all skill levels develop fundamentals, teamwork, self-confidence and new skills, while also leaving time for campers to enjoy a variety of other activities, crafts and summer fun. Campers can choose half day sports camp and be picked up at 12:30pm or choose full day and join traditional camp in the afternoon. Sports camps for 2018 include:
- Basketball Camp - June 17-20
- Flag Football Camp - June 24-27
- Baseball Camp - July 8-11
- Volleyball Camp - July 22-26
- Tennis Camp - July 15-18, July 29-August 2, and August 5-8
Recognizing that middle school and high school students can get more out of a summer camp program, our LIT (Leaders in Training) Camp participants learn teamwork oriented leadership. Working together on a variety of projects, our staff and LITs form a mentoring relationship. We coach our LITs, providing feedback and insight into their efforts on the different tasks they take on. Local field trips, leadership workshops and service projects are just a few of the important tools our staff use to teach teens what it means to be a leader.
