About BMSC
Our mantra is “Building a Stronger Community Through Sports”.
Remember the days when you would wake up, run over to your friends house and not come home until dinner? That is what I remember most about growing up in Western Springs. I would be out all day playing different games with my friends. We never sat in front of the TV, we always had a game to play whether we had a large group or if it was just a couple close friends. Children don't have that opportunity anymore, they have too many activities and distractions. In the day of technology and organized/competitive sports, children don't get the chance to just play!
Blue Moose Sports Camp was created to give children a place to stay active and play during the summer. It is important for children to be active. These are the years that they should be developing a love for fitness and their health. Blue Moose Sports Camp gives them the chance to enjoy simple games in a safe and fun environment. It is important for children to play!
At Blue Moose Sports camp, our goal is to build a stronger community through sport. We believe that every child should experience the enjoyment of being active and being a part of a group - regardless of their ability level, or previous experiences.
We look forward to seeing you and your children at the numerous camps offered by Blue Moose Sports Camp throughout the year.
Information
**Please note: While Blue Moose Sports Camp will be held at Field Park, our camp is not associated with Western Springs School District 101.
Location
Field Park
Blue Moose Sports Camp is available for all incoming 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders.
All Blue Moose participants will spend the first hour of camp practicing movement skills, sport skills, and team building activities in fun and engaging games/sports/activities. Groups will be based on age and games/activities will be modified to challenge each group.
During the first hour Blue Moose campers will rotate through 4-5 different activities; activities will change each day based on weather, group numbers and engagement of the campers.
The second hour of camp will be “elective” based. Campers will have an option to choose 2 activities from a group of 4 or more different electives each week. They will be placed in these groups and will spend each day working on those skills and games.
We believe that by adding the electives Blue Moose Sports Camp will be able to create a more custom and personalized experience for each child. This will also give each child a chance to explore and PLAY in a different way. We will learn skills the correct way and take the time to get better each day.
