2-4-1 Sports Camp - NEW

Get Moving and Playing All Day!

At 2-4-1 camp, your camper(s) will have a whole lot of fun trying a whole lot of sports – at least three every day!

There will be no laps or drills; instead, your child will be moving and playing all day. They might try basketball, touch football, soccer, tennis, 2-4-1 RadBall or lacrosse, universal sports, and more. Sports will be introduced in a fun, playful, and non-judgmental way so that kids feel encouraged and supported to try something new.

Campers entering grades 3-8 will choose three sports from a variety of options.
For younger campers (entering grades K-2), sports will be brought to them – in a developmentally-appropriate and joyful way.

2-4-1 Sports camp is inclusive, enabling kids of all skill levels to participate and enjoy the benefits of being active.

Why Come to a Sport Sampling Camp?

Giving kids the opportunity to explore various sports helps them to:

build ability and confidence across sports
learn self-awareness, self-regulation, and resilience
learn to work with one another and communicate effectively
develop social skills and friendships
discover their interests and talents

Ultimately, when kids experience joy in a variety of sports, they are more likely to be active for the rest of their lives, which brings lifelong physical, social, and emotional wellbeing.

Putting the Play back into Playing Sports

Steve Boyle, Co-Founder/Director of 2-4-1 Sports, explains:

“One of the things that truly separates 2-4-1 Sports camps from others is just how genuinely play-based and fun they are. We know this from the kids’ feedback, and because so many of our staff return year after year—because they have such a blast being part of it. And if the adults are jumping in and having fun, then you can rest assured the kids are having an absolute blast too. To be clear, no one is coming out of our camp ready for a varsity tryout or a Division I scholarship, but they will leave with the confidence and desire to keep playing, keep participating, and keep having fun. And that’s what lays the foundation for a lifetime of joyful, healthy activity. And yes, in some cases, a path towards tremendous long-term athletic success.”

Life’s too short for just one sport!

Putting the Play back into Playing Sports

Meet the Team

“Hello! I’m Kelsey, and I’ll be the director of the 2-4-1 Sports Camp at the JCC this summer.

Growing up, I played soccer, basketball, and field hockey, and I coached high school girls' lacrosse for four years. I know how important being involved in sports is, not only for fitness but also for the valuable life skills like teamwork, perseverance, and leadership that sports teach.

2-4-1 camps allow kids to explore creative ways to bring play back into sports. We help them build confidence, friendships, and joy while teaching Social Emotional Learning through sports. I believe the skills 2-4-1 focuses on – self-control, team building, and leadership development—are invaluable for kids as they grow up and navigate life.

Beyond 2-4-1, I’m a mom of four-year-old twins, a classroom teacher, and a community event organizer.

I look forward to getting to know your family this summer!”
