What ages does Sports Camp accept?

Sports Camp is open to children ages 8–13. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.

How much does Sports Camp cost?

Sports Camp publishes $150/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.

What are Sports Camp's hours?

Sports Camp runs 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.

Who runs Sports Camp?

Sports Camp is operated by the local parks department. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.

Does Sports Camp provide lunch?

Sports Camp does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.

Who thrives here Ages 8–13

Sports Camp sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something. Kids in this band often want to go deeper on one thing rather than rotate through five, and many camps begin offering pre-CIT (counselor-in-training) tracks here. The right sports fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
