As parents, we look back at summers as a kid like the glory days—running around from sunrise to sunset, enjoying endless days playing all kinds of sports and just having fun. Nowadays, kids seem to have two modes. Either they are narrowly focused on specialized activities, risking burnout - or they spend too much time cooped up in the house, glued to their screens. Either way, they miss out on the friendships, challenges, and personal growth that come with engaging in a range of activities, including some that might be new and different.
Our summer camps are here to change that! Designed to get kids off their phones and into the game, our sports camps are all about fun, friendship, and movement. By combining focused skill training with other sports and activities, kids will stay active, build confidence, and learn valuable life lessons like teamwork, perseverance, and fair play. More than just a camp, this is an opportunity for them to create lasting memories and friendships—all while having tons of fun! Sign them up today and let’s make this summer one to remember.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages can participate in the summer camp?
Boys & girls aged 8 to 12 years old are eligible to be enrolled. Even if your child is turning 13, as long as they are 12 at the beginning of camp, they are still eligible.
What is the mix of sports and other activities?
Typically, each day will consist of skills training (about 2 ½ hours) and scrimmaging (about 1 hour) in your chosen sport of focus, either basketball or soccer. In addition there will be about 1 hour of non-sports activities like arts and crafts, and 1 ½ hours of fun games like dodgeball.
What are the camp dates, times, and pricing?
Two weekly sessions run from July 14 - 18 & from August 4 - 8, with drop off at 8:30 AM and pickup at 5 PM. Typically our Summer Sports Camp is $400, but for this year ONLY, you get a first year special pricing of $300 per camper.
In addition, mini-sessions are available each weekday from July 14 to August 8. These daily sessions run from 8:30 AM to 5 PM and are available for a special first-year price of $80 per camper per day, with discounts for booking more than 5 days.
What is the difference between weekly sessions and mini-sessions?
Weekly sessions will be more structured, with more emphasis on teamwork. Weekly campers will go through a rotation of key skill areas (passing, shooting, defense, etc.) and each weekly session will end with a fun “Olympics Day”. (Plus weekly campers get a t-shirt!)
Who are the coaches?
Campers in our basketball track will receive skills training from coaches from Triple Threat AAU, one of New Jersey’s elite AAU programs based out of Dover Sportsplex.
Campers in our soccer track will receive skills training from Stephen Zuluaga, member of the storied 2017 Dover HS soccer team who later played at Centenary College. Stephen has extensive coaching experience with Cabras FC and travel soccer programs throughout Morris County.
How are counselors trained and vetted?
All counselors will complete SafeSports training and a background check. There will always be multiple counselors in the facility that are CPR-certified.
Do campers need to bring their own equipment?
Campers only need to have proper active attire and sneakers (no cleats) and bring a refillable water bottle. All sports equipment will be provided. We will also give every camper a T-shirt.
How do I register my child, and is there a deadline to sign up?
Each weekly session has its own registration page. In addition, there is a registration page for the mini-sessions – you will select the number of days you’d like to register for during check out and then indicate the specific days on the registration form.
What happens if I refer a friend or sign up multiple family members?
In the case of a friends or family referral, the original registrant will receive a one-time 20% rebate on their registration fee.
Will lunch be provided or for sale?
Lunch isn't included in your regular camp registration, but we will offer all campers the opportunity to pre-purchase lunches for the week. Or, your camper can bring their own lunch from home if they would like. (Campers with food allergies should bring their own lunches.)
