Still Camping... Multi-Sports Week

Another week of sports camp has started! This week we are partnering with Overtime Athletics and hosting a Multi-Sports camp for grades 1-5. Campers this week are learning Lacrosse, Floor Hockey, Ultimate Frisbee, Physical Fitness, Volleyball, and field day events / water games.

Throughout the day campers are focused on learning new skills of the game, rules of the games, nutrition for healthy bodies, and character. Each day has a new concept that is taught by our staff as well as a biblical truth. Campers are learning about teamwork, sportsmanship, respect, and accomplishment.

This is a great camp to help introduce children to a variety of sports. It gives kids and parents the opportunity to explore together different and new interests. Often we have our own agendas for what our kids should participate in and we do not allow for them to explore and develop for themselves. As summer comes to a close and you review all your activities / camps / travel leagues, talk about them with your kid(s). Learn to help them explore, they may like it or they may not like it, and discover who they are as well as the areas God has gifted them.

Oh by the way, as a parent of two very different children seven years apart, this is something I have to remind myself everyday!
