Camp SAM offers a full day camp program for children 6-14 years old. Here are just some of the exciting activities that we offer:

Camp SAM Activities

Sports Clinics We offer various sports clinics over the twelve week period to either introduce the sport or hone previously existing skills in the particular sport. Each clinic will last one week. Campers will learn the basic fundamentals of each sport offered, specifically, the rules of the game and how the game is played. In addition, our clinics also improve the physical fitness of our campers.

Sports instructors conduct the clinics, and are assisted by the camp counselors. The sports instructors have the expertise to adaptively design the clinics to meet the needs of individual skill levels and abilities within the camper groups. Campers do not need prior experience or knowledge of the particular sport in order to participate. By the end of the full week, all campers should be able to play the game at an intramural level.

At Camp SAM, we emphasize teamwork, cooperation, and sportsmanship, rather than competition. On Fridays, there will be scrimmages in the sport of the week. Campers will be encouraged to show support of their fellow campers and teammates and practice good sportsmanship. After the clinics, campers will have opportunities to practice what they have learned throughout the summer.

In addition to the Sports Clinics, the remainder of the camp day is comprised of many fun and unique activities. We offer over 56 different activities, some of which include the following:

Sports: We offer different sports clinics over an eleven week period. Each clinic will last one week. Campers will learn the basic fundamentals of each sport offered, specifically, the rules of the game and how the game is played. This summer we’ve added highly skilled instructors (professional, collegiate and high school coaches) to conduct the sports clinics, and by the end of the full week, campers should be able to play the game at an intramural level. After the lessons, campers will also be able to practice what they have learned throughout the summer. Our clinics also improve the physical fitness of our campers.

Arts + Crafts: Campers will have the opportunity to create fun and unique projects. During arts & crafts time, campers will get a chance to think creatively and gain experience using materials like paper mache, paint, and clay.

Music + Drama: Campers will be involved in sing-along's, charades, video production, and karaoke with a skilled musician and video director. They will learn to appreciate music and incorporate songs with simple dance routines that may be put on in front of parents and fellow campers.

Nature Trail: We have a beautiful nature trail for our campers to enjoy. The path of lush greenery consists of a variety of flowers, plants, and trees for the campers to discover and explore. The trail will also be used for special activities such as scavenger hunts and Theme Day activities.

Rock Climbing: Campers will have the opportunity to gain the skills and confidence necessary to climb the rockwall. Standing 25 feet tall, the rock wall challenges climbers to scale the rock face and push the button at the top. Safety is of the utmost importance, so professional mountain climbing equipment is used at all times. Trained Ride Operators will instruct and supervise the campers during this activity.

Swimming: Under supervision of Certified Lifeguards and Certified Water Safety Instructors, campers are encouraged to participate and progress without pressure. Every camper will have an opportunity to swim in the pool each day. All campers must pass a swim test in order to enter the pool without a flotation device.

Tumble Times: Under the supervision of qualified tumbling instructors, campers have access to the popular Tumble Times Gym, where they can play on the bars, balance beam, trampoline, foam pit, spring floor, and MORE! According to our campers, this is one of their favorite activities.

Bounce Attractions: Camp SAM features 6 amazing inflatable attractions to add to the excitement of camp, including the Tropical 2-Lane Water Slide, Tropical Slip ‘N’ Slide, Defender Dome, Jumping Pillow, Amazon Extreme Obstacle Course, and the Castle Combo!

Traditional Camp Games: We offer a variety of camp games like, Ga-Ga, Bombardment, Elimination, and Capture the Flag, which provide campers with team building skills and of course, FUN!
