Three weeks and three different sports. Come spend your summer with us at Sports Camp developing your fundamental skills, competing with the highest sportsmanship, and bonding with your fellow campers through teamwork. Our core sports are basketball, soccer, and flag football. Campers and counselors also have a blast playing, kickball, whiffle ball, floor hockey, dodgeball and more. We are the place for the aspiring athlete in your family.
Sports Camp will take one field trip per session. Prior field trips have included trips to a World Champion Texas Rangers Game, Dallas Wings Game, Frisco Roughriders Game, Strike and Reel, Hawaiian Falls and Urban Air. We will release this year's field trips closer to the start of camp.

What sports will we work on?
Does my child have to swim?
What should my child wear and bring to Sports Camp?
“I’ve loved Sports Camp for so long! I love all of the sports and new friends I got to make every year. We always got some sort of special activity in the afternoon.”
“Kids who attend Sports Camp at the JCC are all treated like super stars. They are encouraged to try new things and everyone wins as a team. It’s a fun and safe place to try every sport your child has ever wanted to play.”
