Why Sports at Redwood Stand Out

At Redwood Day Camp, sports activities are more than just physical exercise—they're opportunities for campers to develop confidence, build friendships, and create lasting memories. Our sports program features:

• Skilled instruction from experienced and attentive staff who adapt activities to all skill levels

• Age-appropriate activities designed specifically for different developmental stages

• A fun environment where participation and effort are celebrated more than winning

• Progressive skill development allowing campers to build abilities throughout the summer

• A wide variety of sports keeping campers engaged and excited each day

Creative

Balancing athletic development with creative expression, our camp programs include activities that engage the imagination alongside physical skills. Campers enjoy:

• Sports-themed arts and crafts in our art facility

• Dance activities that blend athletic skills with creative expression

• Team-building challenges that encourage creative problem-solving in a fun environment

  
  

Our approach recognizes that creativity enhances athletic performance by developing flexible thinking, visualization skills, and innovative approaches to challenges both on and off the playing field.

Learning

Sports at Redwood Day Camp go beyond physical activity—they're powerful vehicles for developing life skills and personal growth. Our sports camps are designed to develop:

• Essential life skills through teamwork and sportsmanship

• Strategic thinking through understanding game strategies

• Interpersonal skills through team cooperation

• Agility skills through varied physical challenges

• Basic skills for beginners and advanced skills for experienced campers

  
  

For older campers, our Leaders In Training Program (grades 6-7) and CIT Camp (Counsellor In Training Program, grades 8-9) provide opportunities to gain practical experience while assisting with younger campers' sports activities, potentially earning community service hours.
