Freedom Center’s camp encourage children to love sports
Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center offers basic sports summer camps, such as football, soccer, baseball, and tennis. Cheerleading, Jiu Jitsu, Self Defense for girls, and Land and Sea Volleyball are only some of the unique programs offered during the summer.
In particular, land and sea volleyball is a great choice because campers get to practice their skills both in the gymnasium and in the pool using a volleyball net.
Equestrian summer camp continues to be a popular choice for children.
If a child doesn’t want to ride horses, there is skateboarding, In-line Skating using roller blades, as well as a Learn to Ride a Bike camp. Children often use the “Learn to Ride a Bike” camp as a great way to not only get outside, but to also try different types of sports such as BMX.
How do camp counselors get children to try new sports?
It is the passion that counselors have for the sport they’re teaching that motivates children to try something different and exciting. Children thrive off of their counselors’ passion and get excited seeing their counselors play their favorite sports each day.
Even if the children never score a hoop or get a goal, the counselors build them up so much that the experience is all that matters. If a child is unwilling to try a new sport, a counselor talks to him or her about the importance and how fun it can be to learn a new skill.
The child may not want to be a basketball or soccer player when he or she grows up but they learn important skills such as hand and eye coordination and working in small teams. Freedom’s counselors keep encouraging children throughout the days and weeks and hopefully get them to love a sport.
