“Put me in Coach, I’m ready to play”

Fun, learning, and excitement are just around the corner! If your camper has completed 1st or 2nd grade, then D1 is the camp for them! D1 is known for its zealous spirit, its dedication to creative, crazy fun and its sports and adventure specialties that challenge campers to grow. Let your camper choose a specialty for the week, and they will receive over an hour of quality instruction each day from a seasoned coach who focuses on the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. Not only will your child learn the value of trying their best, working together, and achieving goals, they’ll also have an amazing time doing it! On top of that, D1 campers visit our amazing pool facilities five days a week with extended pool times added this year! Come see why 1st-2nd graders can’t get enough of D1!

Drama 

Participants will learn about drama through a wide variety of fun, interactive, and self-expressive games with an emphasis on creativity. There will be a brief presentation at the end of each week during the Friday Assembly.

Ropes Course 

For 1st-2nd graders, the week will begin with several low element activities as well as group initiatives designed to challenge campers and help them learn to work with team mates. All campers will have the opportunity to conquer the Rock Wall and participate in at least two additional “high elements” like our Giant Swing! Camp All-American is a member of ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology) and meets all recommended standards.
Sampler 

Campers will be exposed to a different activity each day of the week. Activities include archery, lawn games, rock climbing, and several team sports. This specialty will give great exposure to a wide variety of activities – some of which are not offered in any other specialty!NEW THIS YEAR: SAMPLER INCLUDES BASEBALL!

Campers will receive an introduction to the fundamentals of tennis. They will learn the basic rules and terminology of the sport along with valuable instruction and drill practice in each element of the game. Campers will receive instruction in all strokes and match play culminating with doubles play by the end of the week.
Tumbling 

Campers will be introduced to and encouraged to progress in basic skills including rolls, cartwheels, handstands, and back bends.

Skills will be broken down into small parts so that each child can achieve success at his/her own skill level as he/she works independently with qualified hands-on coaching from counselors.
