What new hobbies will my child learn at Freedom Center Summer Camp?

There’s lots of new activities for children at Freedom Center summer camp

Regardless of their age, summer campers at Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center return every year to learn and excel at their favorite hobbies.

Many sports campers begin their journey at Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center in a beginner level soccer camp. As the summers progress, many campers’ skills improve so much that they find success at their local elementary, middle and high schools, as well as local club teams.

Horse lovers 

For horse lovers, Freedom offers an equestrian summer camp. The campers begin taking lessons and enjoy and learn it enough always to make the choice to return every summer. In fact, the equestrian summer camp is one of the first camps to fill up the quickest. One of the reasons being is that throughout their lessons, campers develop a long-lasting passion for horses and riding. Horses don’t come to Freedom Center, but campers travel to a local stable called Clover Brooke Stables for their lessons.

Swimming 

For budding swimmers, parents see a difference in their child’s abilities and see them succeed at passing their individual swim tests. From then on, many children decide to pursue swimming through other avenues during the school year.

Why do children continue to come back to Freedom Center? The answer lies in their passionate camp counselors and instructors. Freedom goes to great lengths to hire counselors and instructors that are passionate about their favorite sports and hobbies.

These counselors and instructors are so passionate that they want to share this passion with children and help them develop the right skills to succeed at any sport or hobby they have. Children will not have to worry about sitting out of a game or being put off the team if they’re unable to master the skills quickly because Freedom’s counselors and instructors work with the children to keep them motivated and always progressing.

Counselors keep children motivated 

Most of Freedom’s counselors and instructors continue to educate outside of the fitness center. Some are teachers, and some are enrolled in teaching programs, coach, or teach Bible study at their churches. The one common trait that all the counselors and instructors have is that they have a passion for not only their sports and hobbies, but children as well.

Children who sign up and commit themselves to Freedom Center summer camps find themselves at an advantage going into their schools and local teams. For example, young beginner and intermediate soccer players may begin their soccer lessons with no previous experiences wearing shin guards or even touching soccer balls.

With just a week in at the summer camps, children can see great improvement and development. It also gives children the confidence that they need because they’re coming onto the field with great skills.

In a short amount of time, when children participate they learn all of the basic soccer skills they need to succeed outside of the Freedom Center. They will know which way to run to chase the ball, playing with no hands, and much more to keep them prepared and ahead of their less experienced peers.
