At SPC summer camp, we believe in the power of experiential, play-based learning. We know that encouraging children to be active, get messy, discover their talents & connect with the outdoors creates lifelong positive outcomes. These experiences help children develop lasting friendships, create meaningful memories and learn valuable life skills that help strengthen confidence.
Our Sports Camp is made for your sport enthusiast. Campers will spend their day developing their skills in three core sports (baseball soccer and basketball), as well as trying and learning many different other sports. They will also be able to participate themed days, camp wide events and campers aged 9-12 will be able to attend a public swim once a week. Our Outdoor Camp is made for you outdoor adventurist. Campers will be able to connect with nature, explore the forest and creek, develop their camping skills (campfire building and cooking over the camp fire), create nature art masterpieces and build shelters.
