The daily schedule is filled with non-stop action that’ll keep you on your toes. Each morning, get ready to be dropped off at our facility where you’ll meet your new friends and camp counselors.

You’ll then head to our gymnasium to prepare for the day ahead. Trust us; it’s going to be epic! Once you’re all set, it’s time to start the rotation.

Every day kids will rotate between three 1.5 hour periods to hone their skills and have a blast doing it. From basketball to swimming, we’ve got everything covered. And once the morning’s rotation is done, it’s time for lunch – yummy! After lunch jump back into the fun.
