Designed in the spirit of the Olympic Games, our camp promotes effort and teamwork above winning and losing. It's an environment where your child will feel comfortable, safe, and confident. Where they can count on friendly play, consistent values, and appropriate supervision at all times. Regardless of the final score in any game played, every camper is made to feel proud of their efforts.
Dedicated & Motivated Staff
Comprised of experienced teachers, coaches, and athletes on both university and high school levels, our staff works hard to make Champion Summer Camp a positive and memorable growth experience for each camper. The more fun the kids have, the more fun the staff has!
Additional camp support is provided by teens (ages 13 - 15) through our Counselor In Training (CIT) Program.
Individual Attention
Our counselors approach each day with a teacher's mentality, helping your child to develop socially as well as athletically. The focus is on fun, but rules and fundamental techniques are taken very seriously. So when your child tells you how much fun they're having at camp, you'll know they're also learning rules and improving their athletic skills.
Positive Encouragement
Although camp provides an ever-changing array of activities, one thing never changes: the counselor-led group discussion after every activity. Your child's counselor will encourage them to share what they did or didn't like about the event, and praise positive play attitudes. This keeps everyone focused on sportsmanship, teamwork, and cooperation - instead of winning just to win.
Safety First
- All counselors are certified in CPR and first aid.
- Campers take several breaks a day to drink water and apply sunscreen.
- There is approximately 1 staff member for every 6.5 campers. Such a high ratio ensures that proper supervision is in place at all times.
- Every counselor has training and expertise in all games and equipment featured at camp.
“At Champion Summer Camp, we believe that friendly play is necessary to having fun. Teaching good sportsmanship is at the heart of our philosophy, and something that sets us apart.”
- Tony Basso, Executive Director
A wide variety of sports, games, arts & crafts, field trips, and special camp contests gives Champion Summer Camp an especially unique camp format. Our diverse activities maximize fun and deliver a memorable experience to campers.
To keep all campers engaged, we customize each schedule according to age and gender. And while the schedule for 5 year old girls is very different from the one for 12 year old boys, both groups feel part of "something bigger" by being part of the unique camp environment we offer.
We are proud of our partnership with the Hillsborough School District. As witnesses to the incredible standards and awards achieved within the Hillsborough school system, we are reminded and inspired to serve the Hillsborough community with excellence. The Crocker Middle School/North Elementary campus is an ideal facility for summer activity which allows us to provide your child with a remarkable summer experience.
We are pleased to announce that all 2011 summer sessions will be frequently visited by a camp photographer. We hope to capture some of the special moments that are constantly occurring at camp, and hope our photos will provide terrific memories for years to come.
