New to the J this summer, 2-4-1 Sports Camp will run alongside our traditional camp for two weeks: June 23 – 27 and August 18 – 22. The week in August will extend the summer fun for our campers and provide families with an additional week of camp care later in the summer.

Read on to find out all about 2-4-1 Sports Camp, and why kids AND parents love it!

 

Awesome activities

One of the things that truly separates 2-4-1 Sports Camp from other sports camps is just how genuinely play-based and fun it is. 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 lacrosse or RadBall (📷), 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.

 

Camp skills

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

☀️ learn self-awareness, self-regulation, and resilience

☀️ develop social, teamwork, and communication skills

☀️ discover their interests and talents

☀️ build ability and confidence across sports

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

 

Meet the team

2-4-1 Sports Camp will be in the capable hands of Kelsey McGuire-Bruce, mom, teacher, and multi-sport athlete herself:

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.

 

Your stories

2-4-1 Sports has heard from many happy campers and happy parents:

This is an amazing camp. Kids have exposure to sports they might otherwise not be able to try. It is well-organized with great leadership. My children can't wait to go back!

Our son has loved this camp every summer for the past six years. It’s given him a way to explore new sports and has opened doors that we never would have expected. Can’t say enough good things about camp 2-4-1!

2-4-1 Sports Camp runs for just two weeks this summer, so register now before spaces fill!

 

We can’t wait to see you at camp for a summer of fun! ☀️
