Camp Directors
We are a dedicated team of teachers, who have all played on high level sports teams and have a strong passion for teaching life skills through sports. One of our goals is to create an environment where your kids will love learning and playing new games and sports. We will encourage them to lead active, physically fit lives, and will build their self-esteem through athletics. Campers will spend an exciting session together playing and learning a variety of sports that focus around fun, teamwork, building friendships, and sportsmanship. Camper favorites include Star Wars, Tennis Baseball, Capture the Flag, Basketball, Soccer, Splashball, Castleball, Hockey, Swimming and many other popular games!
We hope to see you at one of our camps soon!
