At the field, children play games such as: Kickball, Tee-ball, Soccer, Red Rover, Spud, Four Corners, Steal the Bacon, and many more!
Our athletic director and field staff coordinate age-specific instruction and games for each group at the field, and assist the counselors in developing games to play during gym and yard time as well. Field sports are an integral part of the camp experience.  Younger grades go to the field earlier in the day than the older children.  Water is always available at the fields.  On high heat index days, we use the yards instead of the fields, so that the children can go inside the air-conditioned building to cool off.

Karate
One of our most popular activities at camp is karate.  We have several Tae Kwon Do black belts who instruct the children in organized classes of this non-contact martial arts form.  Karate is a great activity for kids, but as in every activity, it is not for everyone.  We will encourage your child to participate, but we will never force him/her to do any activity.  Children may be able to take a belt advancement test during the summer and/or continue studying during the school year.

Dance
Dance is a very important part of young peoples lives.  Dance helps build coordination and flexibility as well as creative expression. This year we will continue to incorporate dance into the camp program.
