SPORT CAMPS

Sport Camp teams deploy into the city to conduct basketball, soccer, and action camps around the city. These programs are conducted in partnership with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). 

Basketball and Soccer camps are designed around a tournament play model where our student campers are joined with neighborhood kids to form teams that compete throughout the week. When not on the court, the players rotate through different classes focused on leadership development and a bible study each day. The interactions are primarily between the neighborhood kids and the student campers themselves, with the support and instruction of the adults onsite. Advertising goes up ahead of the camps and the sport camps run for three dedicated days as part of Work Camp. Most years our teams will attract 85-100 kids from the neighborhood who attend the program.

Action campers will have opportunities to help clean up, improve, and renovate local skateparks. They will also learn how to engage the unique culture of the park and build authentic relationships with the people they meet there. Along the way, campers will be equipped to share their faith through practical evangelism tools like The Four, and challenged to see their passion for Action Sports not simply as a hobby, but as an opportunity to serve others and make Jesus known. Ride. Serve. Connect. Share so that the city may see Jesus!  

Teams consist of 5-6 adult volunteer Sport Camp Leaders and 8-10 student campers. Similar to the kids attracted to attend Sidewalk Clubs, Sport Camps attract the neighborhood kids who are out of school for the week. Sport Camps are a great way for them to pass the day while having fun and getting a mid-day meal.
