“I have kids that are polar opposites. To find a camp where they both like something is very hard to come by.”

D1: 1ST-2ND GRADERS

(Grade completed before start of camp)

"Put me in Coach, I'm ready to play"


If your camper has completed 1st or 2nd grade, then D1 is the camp for them. Whether they're already learning a sport and could use a review of the basics or they want a chance to try something new, we have plenty of fun specialties to peak their interest. Let your camper choose a specialty for the week and receive over an hour of quality instruction each day from a seasoned coach. Our coaches focus on the whole child, so campers will tune in to what it takes to succeed in sport and play, as well as in life.

When specialty time is ends, a whole new level of fun begins. The Pennant Race is a week long competition reserved especially for D1 campers. They work together in one of three teams and race for the pennant by playing crazy, fun games to earn points. We amplify the importance of teamwork and building team spirit... and boy do they have spirit! No matter if it's the "quacking" of the Ducks, the "roaring" of the Lions, or the cry "shark bait" echoing from the Sharks, these guys really get into it and chant and cheer all day for their team. Not only will they learn the value of trying their best, working together, and achieving goals, they'll also have an amazing time doing it! So, sign your camper up now and let the Race begin!

SPECIALTIES:
D1 Campers choose one specialty per week and will receive coaching each day from a specialist in the area.

Scroll over the specialty name for a detailed description:

Art

Campers will be exposed to and given opportunities to work with mixed media throughout the week. They will gain an appreciation for Art as part of God's creation and will be allowed to take their masterpieces home with them at the end of the week.

Baseball

This is an introduction to the fundamental aspects of the game including rules and regulations. Covered skills include throwing, fielding, catching, pitching, and batting. By the end of the week, the campers will play organized games.

Basketball

Campers will be taught proper mechanics in dribbling, shooting and footwork. Drills are designed for the beginner as well as intermediate player. Team offense and defense will be taught and campers will participate in a mini-tournament at the end of the week.

Cheerleading

Campers will learn motion techniques, basic partner stunt skills, jump techniques and how to incorporate it all together into one fun routine. Girls will learn several cheers and chants as well as a dance routine. Our goal is to build self-confidence and leadership skills through teamwork while putting together a short routine for the assembly on Friday.

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.

Karate

Campers will learn the basic beginner techniques of karate. This includes the difference between discipline and self-discipline, how to focus and concentrate, and how to be humble. Some techniques will include front and side stances, front kick, back kick, side kick, and a Stranger Danger class!

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 or Single Zip Line! In addition to the above activities, all 3rd graders will also have the opportunity to climb through the trees on our 25' high dynamic course. All 4th and 5th graders will participate in both low and high ropes course elements designed to help campers move outside of their "comfort zones". All campers will have the opportunity to conquer the Rock Wall and Vertical Playpen, ride the 700 ft. Zip lines, and experience the thrill of the Lil' Swing (and believe me, it's not that Little!) 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!

Soccer

Our focus is for campers to develop individual technique and a love for the game. We teach the fundamentals of soccer through fun and entertaining games that will enhance a player's skill development as he/she learns the importance of teamwork.

Tennis

Campers will receive an introduction into 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 on basic skills including rolls, cartwheels, handstands, and back bends. They will work on balance, coordination, and body awareness while having fun learning skills on balance beam. 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.

Wilderness

If you have a love for the outdoors, this specialty is for you. 1st-2nd grade campers will participate in canoeing, archery, rock climbing, land navigation with maps, and learning basic hiking and camping skills. 3rd-5th grade campers will experience canoeing, archery, rock climbing, outdoor survival skills and rappelling off of our 56 foot tower! There is no outdoor experience necessary, just come prepared to learn about the great outdoors and be exposed to each of the activities listed above.
