Sports & Forts is a day camp for boys with a focus on outdoor adventure and character development. All weeks of camp include a variety of sports and adventure, and each day we review a different aspect of manliness: Bravery, Leadership, Generosity, Justice, Magnanimity.

June 22: Go-Karts

June 29: Wilderness Survival

July 20: Go-Karts, Wilderness Survival, & Water Adventures!

 

Go-Karts: Design and build race courses then compete in speed trials for fastest lap time. *Go-karts will be driven by a trained camp counselor, until safety protocols are met (please contact James for more information).

Wilderness Survival: Learn what it takes to survive in the wild; use flint and steel to build and cook on an open fire, build a shelter in the woods, navigate a creek, learn knot tying.

Water Adventures: Morning sports (kickball, soccer, basketball, dodgeball), followed by creeking, go-karts, and water competitions.

Sign up for one week, or several weeks. Boys will be grouped according to age for each activity, and by request.
