This is a summer camp that is all about playing sports and games. It's not a fundamental skills camp or a competition camp; it is a sports camp devoted to the fun of the game. Organized by age group, campers will experience team and individual development through a variety of sports play, games and activities. Camp will include a field trip every week and recreational swimming twice each week. All-Sports Camp is based in the "air-conditioned" Hubbard Gymnasium at the Summit YMCA; activities will take place both there and outdoors at a nearby park. Camp will also include a character-development component emphasizing caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Camp staff will incorporate and model positive character values such as teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership.  

 CAMP STRUCTURE

The All-Sports Camp truly is all about PLAY.  Children ages 6-7 are grouped in the MINORS and children ages 8-9 are grouped in the MAJORS.  On Mondays and Thursdays, The Majors group will be bussed to a nearby park for outdoor sports and games, while the Minors group will be inside the Hubbard Gymnasium at the Summit YMCA. On Tuesdays and Fridays the groups flip-flop.  Swim days for each group is based on the day that they are scheduled to be at the Summit YMCA.  Every Wednesday the camp goes on a field trip.  For details, on this and more, click on the bookmarks on the right column.
