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.

All players will be exposed to the most current teaching focusing on the techniques of speed and agility and the fundamentals of blocking, tackling, passing, running, and catching. Each player will be given an opportunity to use these newly learned skills in team drills and games. This specialty is not a contact form of football. All games and drills with be played with flags and/or "dummies".

Golf Campers will learn basic golf fundamentals, drills, and have some short game practice. Each camper will also play 9 holes on a par 3 golf course during the week. Learning golf is a great reflection of life-discipline, patience, and self-confidence.

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.

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.
