Activities may include traditional individual and team sports, as well as unique options like golf, curling, log rolling, boxing, sailing, swimming, bicycling, baseball, volleyball, and pickleball, depending on the specific camp theme. Some camps also incorporate leadership and mindset skill development through programs like the Her Next Play: Play Bold curriculum.
The program emphasizes participation regardless of physical condition, sex, race, or economic or social status. Campers will learn fundamental skills in various sports, understand game rules, and develop an appreciation for physical activity. The goal is to help young athletes build new connections, meet new friends, and grow through team experiences. Camps are designed to be low-pressure environments where kids can discover new interests and improve coordination, balance, strength, hand-eye coordination, and agility.
A typical day involves rotating through different sports, learning basic skills and rules, and participating in game experiences and fun activities, often with outdoor play.
