Summer Camp for Rising JK-1st Graders
The Sports Conditioning and Movement Program builds physical fitness and sports skills for rising JK-1st graders with games and fun! Join Coach Chester for days full of camp classics that develop the social-emotional skills of cooperative play and teambuilding, and physical skills like hand-eye coordination and ball handling, in the bigger spiritual picture of following Christ's example of being a servant of all. Games and activities will generally be non-competitive as campers learn to work together to solve problems or accomplish missions. Be sure to send a daily, healthy snack for the recess break.
HappyFeet uses nursery rhymes, songs, stories and fun games with a soccer ball to train motor skill development, dynamic dribbling, shooting skills and fitness. The HappyFeet curriculum is designed to gradually develop ever more advanced physical skills. To make sure every child has a positive experience, HappyFeet classes are non-competitive with each camper playing with his/her own Bob the ball.
