Drop-Off: you will obviously need to attend check-in with your kid(s) on Monday; however, on Tuesday-Friday you will be asked to please pull into the parking lot between the pool and tennis courts, drop-off at the gate and keep traffic flowing (see map on our Location page). If it is raining, drop-off and/or pick-up, we will be in the WJC Pool's "Lodge".
*EARLY BIRD DROP-OFF: beginning no earlier than 8:00 AM for an additional cost of $25 per camper, per week. Early bird spots are limited and must be reserved early. However, there is no need to include the early drop-off fee during "Step 2" of the registration process. Early bird drop-off is supervised by Michael Spatafore and/or Caleb Martin (both are camp coaches and Physical Education teachers for Westerville City Schools) please pay them in-person (check or cash) on the first day of camp.
A typical day includes:
8:00-9:00 = early bird drop-off ($25/camper/week).
9:00-9:15 = drop-off, attendance, camp meeting (lesson/theme of the day).
9:15-11:30 = field games/activities* at Westerville Jaycee Pool.
11:30-12:00 = lunch (please pack a lunch for your camper each day) and socialize.
12:00-3:30 = subject to change, due to weather, but intended plan...
3:45-4:00 = parent/guardian pick-up
*Our morning and Resolute games/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, such as: Galaxy Ball, Capture the Critter, Four Corners, Dodgeball, Mission Impossible, Cardio Kickball, Talent Show, Rock/Paper/Scissor Football, Space Invaders, Mouse Trap, Silent Seat Ball, Tip, Highlighter Football, Human Guess Who, various team-building activities/challenges and many more. These activities are selected because they are engaging to all ages/abilities and produce opportunities to challenge/grow new skills while showing their strengths!

General Information:
- On the first day of camp, every camper is placed on a team for the week, with their friends and/or siblings, per their choice.
- Once formed, each team will be split into two "divisions" (1st-3rd and 4th-8th) for developmentally appropriate competitions!
- Kids will compete in challenges/games within their own division, but every team member can earn points.
- Think little league games -- the divisions will rotate on and off the field between high intensity/low intensity activities every few minutes.
- For the duration of the week, campers/teams earn points by winning competitions, demonstrating good character, wearing team colors, showing team spirit, etc.
- Each team has a coach (licensed teacher) who assists them during all competitions, field trips, lunch, etc.
- Camp always ends with Championship Friday, where awards are presented based team point totals!
- We are an outdoor camp, so please take a few minutes each night to check your camper for ticks!
- If you need to get a hold of us for any reason DURING CAMP, please CALL or TEXT Eric Indiciani (Director) -- he will have his phone with him at all times, but typically does not look at email or Facebook messages during camp hours.
- We will also be posting videos and pictures of camp on our Facebook page (Sandlot Camp Westerville) each day -- like/join our page to follow your camper!

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: established in 2005.
- 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.
