Game of the Day activities take place both inside and out, and include games like volleyball, TsegBall, badminton, ping pong, bocce, ga-ga (dodge ball), and much more.
Indoor Soccer/Broom Ball takes place inside the intramural gym. The smaller space makes for fast-paced action and lots of scoring. Broom Ball is like street hockey, but played with soft sticks.

Recreational Swim participants are tested for basic swimming ability on the first day of the session. Campers must be at least a Red Cross Level 3 swimmer in order to take Recreational Swim. Campers who do not pass the basic test will be placed in lessons at the discretion of the swim director.

This group of campers remains with the same counselors in a nurturing environment for the entire afternoon. Sport Pals campers who choose the early-dismissal option will still get their daily swim lesson.
Swim Lessons are taught by the Summer Place swim instructors and follow the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim curriculum. Swim lessons are held in the outdoor pool at the Sports Center, weather permitting.

Tennis
All grade levels (1–9) have two options:
Tennis I
is for campers who are new to the sport or have limited experience. This class focuses on learning the basic shots and skills, and practicing them with group games and activities. For the youngest campers, we may use lead-up activities to work on lateral movement and hand-eye coordination, if the instructor feels that it is developmentally appropriate for the group.
Tennis II is for campers who have some experience with the sport. Classes will review basics, work on more advanced skills, and practice them in group and individual games. |
Yard
