Details about our Summer Program ....

Daily Group Discussion

Each day, head coaches will introduce a specific concept that directly relates to wellness, fitness, athletics, character development, or physical education.  In addition to learning some fundamental health-enhancing concepts, these discussions will help to create a team environment where all children are respected and accepted.

Team Building Activities

Each day after lunch, children will return to their Head Coach to participate in some fun team building activities.  Problem solving, group challenges and similar activities will help to create some unity within our teams.  A good example of a team building activity would be the “human knot.”  Under the direction of the Head Coach, students will cross arms forming a human knot and they will “problem solve” to try to untangle themselves.

Selecting Classes and Activities

We have carefully organized our classes, sports, and activities so, that each particular grade level and skill level will have multiple choices during each period.  For our family, this is extremely important, because our children all like different types of physical activities.  This also allows children to “take it easy” on a particular day, by selecting activities that do not require strenuous efforts.

Will My Child Need “Down Time?”

We realize that “down time” will be necessary and we have planned accordingly.  For example, one of the classes we are running is called “Books and Movies that Inspire Greatness”.  In this class, students will be able to relax while still being introduced to many great sport and character development themes.  Another example of a down time activity is our Fantasy Baseball League, future general managers will look into the statistical aspect of baseball while they “draft” and manage their very own Fantasy Baseball Team!   Some other down time activities include arts & crafts, nature walks, games, puzzles, and more …

Sunscreen, Hats, & Fluids

Please be sure that your child wears sunscreen!  We will have sunscreen available in case you forget, or are pressed for time, but we can not stress enough about wearing sunscreen at all times!  We also recommend wearing hats!  Also, please remember to send your child with a water bottle with their name clearly labeled on it.  Hydration is very important!  We will have water available to participants who need additional fluids, free of charge!

Lunch & Drinks

We will have lunch every day from 11:45-12:15 p.m.  So, please be sure that if your child is signed up for the full day, that he/she has a lunch and that it is labeled clearly, with their name, in order to prevent confusion.  We will have sport drinks available for purchase.

Staff to Student Ratio

We are extremely proud to announce that we will have a 1:6 Staff to Student Ratio.  This will help us to ensure the highest quality of instruction and supervision, as well as safety for all of our participants!  Our staff will be fully trained and ready to go!
