Join us this summer as we explore team sports without the pressure of being the fastest, tallest, most-outgoing, most athletic. At our camp, we highlight the many aspects that go into team sports, including: sport skills, mindfulness, win//loss analysis, breathing & regulating our emotions, creativity & adaptability, and of course…friendship!

Together, we create a an inspiring team of athletes who are goal focused and understanding of each others’ differences. We are problem solvers and creative thinkers, all striving to have the best week of camp possible with our new friends by our side.
