Camp Description
Teaching physical literacy is giving kids skills and confidence to participate in a wide range of games, sports, and activities for the rest of their lives! Physical skills such as jumping, running, hopping, throwing, and catching are the starting point for the physical literacy of an individual.
These skills will be taught at this camp through a wide variety of games and activities. As participants learn these skills, their knowledge and understanding of movement skills will improve. They will also learn decision making skills based on when to use certain movements in different activities.
They will learn social skills as they interact with others in the camp. By the end of the camp, participants will gain the motivation and confidence to remain physically active for their lives. This will help in caring for the body that God has given them.

“It is my belief that if you learn the basic motions of throwing, running, jumping, and catching, you are far more likely to venture into other activities, and excel at them. You are also much more likely to build confidence and improve your social skills.”

Kids learn basic fundamental movements like running, throwing, catching, and jumping through exploration and play, which will translate into helping children develop skills in sports.
