Sports Specialty Camps
For the sporty camper who wants to play a lot of different sports, or those who want to focus on one particular sport, Shai Sports is made for them! Each day, campers receive two hours of specialized instruction from coaches to learn the game, practice their skills, and scrimmage. In addition to sports instruction, campers will enjoy free swim, water games, other camp activities, and chugim (free choice activities). On Fridays, Shai Sports joins the whole camp for Friday FUNday, a sports wrap-up, and “tag in” for our camp-wide Shabbat programming. To accommodate age-appropriate skill development, Shai Sports is offering age groups: K – grade 1, grades 2 – 3, and grades 4 – 6.
