We’re excited to kick off another unforgettable summer filled with energy, creativity, friendship, and nonstop fun. Our multi-sport styled camp is designed to give every child the chance to explore new activities, build confidence, and make lasting memories—all in a safe, supportive, and joy-filled environment. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about how our camp days are structured and what your child can look forward to each week.
Our days are structured to keep campers active, engaged, and happy
Once all campers have arrived, we kick off the day with morning announcements. During this time, campers are reminded of camp rules and expectations and are introduced to our coaches and activity stations.
Our mornings include three rotating activity stations (sports), each lasting approximately 35–40 minutes. Campers enjoy a snack break between the second and third stations, and our final morning station wraps up around 11:35 a.m.
Half-day campers gather their belongings and prepare for dismissal. Full-day campers remain with their friends and coaches to enjoy lunch together.
In the afternoon, campers can go to their choice of station. Coaches set up a variety of games and options, which may include floor hockey, soccer, flag football, fencing, bracelet making, Go Karts, and more! Available activities for the day will be announced during afternoon announcements.
