Until Summer Sports Camp Begins!
Southtowns Family YMCA sports camp is designed to create a safe, fun, learning environment where children can develop specific sport skills and talents without the pressure of competition and the “always win” mentality. Children build self-esteem and confidence while concentrating on skill improvement and game dynamics. We introduce children to a variety of activities allowing them to decide for themselves which sports they are most interested in, but also giving them knowledge and skills about a variety of sports that they have limited prior experience with. We also provide traditional camp activities such as swim lessons, arts & crafts, nature studies and more. Each week, two sports will be the key focus areas for camp. Children will progress from very basic skills, drills and rules, to actual positioning , game play and technique during the course of the week. The rules and basics of each sport will be covered on Monday and our staff will continue to build on that knowledge all week long! Cost: $130 members/$160 non-members.
