Free swim is an option for campers every day. Our supportive counselors bring out the best in your child through creative play and sports. All staff is trained in CPR and First Aid.

Mini Sports (4-6 years old)

Our youngest campers are introduced to new sports by nurturing, patient counselors. They learn the basics of a variety of sports as well as the importance of teamwork and listening skills.

Little Sports (6-8 years old)

Campers practice skills that are valuable in many traditional sports. Teamwork is emphasized everyday during a non-competitive game of the sport of the day. We also introduce fun playground games—capture the flag, relay races.

All Sports (9-12 years old)

Each day campers work on a specific sport skill and use their new skills in a scrimmage at the end of the day. Campers participate in planned activities but also have the opportunity to choose activities in the afternoon. Our energetic counselors keep your campers playing all day!

Krafty Kids (6-12 years old)

The mornings are full of art projects—painting, drawing, sculpting, building, crafting and more. After lunch, campers may join a sports program or dance the afternoon away playing freeze dance and learning a mini-routine with a recital at the end of the week.
