Here are the basics of what goes into an AMAZING week!
Overview:
Mission: BUILD CHARACTER THROUGH SPORTS AND GAMES!
History of Sandlot Camps:
- Kids entering grades 1-8, split into "divisions" for developmentally appropriate competitions!
- Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (limited availability for an 8:00 AM early drop-off option).
- All of our "coaches" are licensed teachers with extensive experience both teaching and coaching.
- We are not a glorified "recess" style camp, our days are highly structured with lesson plans involving activities which are designed to elicit specific outcomes.
- Unlike most camps that focus on only one activity, we play a variety of games, take field trips, and fully engage every camper in team- and character-building experiences that will instill confidence, teach life lessons, and promote strong character.
- These activities will largely be unfamiliar to the campers, which helps level the playing field and prove every camper's value (brains and/or brawn) to their team!
Mission: BUILD CHARACTER THROUGH SPORTS AND GAMES!
- Sandlot Camp is designed to promote physical fitness while challenging personal growth in areas of character (sportsmanship, integrity, perseverance, and teamwork).
- Each day we use activities, challenges, and lessons to help teach these values.
- By the end of the week we want each camper to know what it truly means to be a leader, a reliable teammate, how to set goals and how to move forward to achieve their goals.
- We want every camper to realize that they are strong, important, and capable of accomplishing their dreams through hard work and perseverance.
- Every staff member is hand selected and they will put THEIR WHOLE HEART into YOUR kids!
- We LOVE what we do and want EVERYONE to have an enjoyable, positive, life-changing experience!!!
- There is no better joy in sports than just playing for the fun of it...we want to hear laughter and excitement!
- We want kids to know it is okay to make a mistake, even with best efforts, just learn from it and keep going...daily conversations!
- No one at camp is going pro tomorrow, but today we are meant to enjoy, and be thankful for, the abilities and opportunities placed in front of us!
- The lessons learned at Sandlot Camp will stay with these kids for a lifetime!!!
History of Sandlot Camps:
- Sandlot Sports Camp was founded in 2005 by Sam Smith, a Physical Education teacher in Olentangy Schools.
- Over the years, the camp has continued to grow into an amazing summer tradition for kids all over central Ohio.
- Sandlot Westerville is the fifth branch of the franchise, with other locations in Olentangy, Dublin, Sunbury, and Worthington.
