Sports Camp
If you love PE and sports, this is your camp! The focus of this camp will be on gameplay and fun. We will play three different sports each day with a little break between each sport. No two days will be the same! Soccer, basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, volleyball, and pickleball are just a few of the sports we will play. In addition, we will throw in some classic PE games such as castle flag, colony ball, and capture the flag.

With a mix of returning and new students, One-Room Schoolhouse also helps children form connections and feel comfortable before the first day of school.
