Summer Camp

June - July - August

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.
