We are excited to announce NEW 2025 camps at
    River Trail Elementary!
    1016 Fort Mill Parkway, Fort Mill, SC 29715

    Summer is a time for running, jumping, throwing, kicking, catching, and, mostly, FUN!
    Mixing skills for 6 sports with a dose of castles and dragons, bats and rats, cookies & French fries, and race cars and flying saucers is a recipe for the Playball SportsPlus Camp.

    Developed by children’s book author Derick Wilder, Reading Giraffe is the place where books run wild! Our collaborative reading method turns stories into interactive, fun, & active adventures that spur both learning and imaginations, as we strive to inspire kids to become lifelong readers! 

    Camps are for BOYS and GIRLS between the ages of 5 and 8.
    NOTE: Camps at RTES run MONDAY through THURSDAY.

    Playball Sports​Plus camps are from 9:00am - 12:00pm (drop-off begins at 8:55am)
    ​Reading Giraffe camps are from 12:30pm - 3:30pm

    Children who attend both camps can bring their lunch and eat with the Coach from 12:00pm to 12:30pm!

    ​Camps dates (both camps are held each week)
    Week #1: June 16 - June 19 (Monday - Thursday)
    Week #2: July 21 - July 14 (Monday - Thursday)

    The "Early Bird" cost for campers who register and pay by APRIL 1ST is $110 per camp.

    See below for our cancellation, refund, and transfer policies.

    Summer Camp Waiver
    As a parent/guardian of a camp participant, I acknowledge there are certain risks of physical injury, and I agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, damages or loss which I or my minor child/ward may sustain associated with said camp. I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have as a result of participating in the camp, against Playball, Reading Giraffe, and the city or school that hosts the camp and all of their officers, agents, servants and employees.

    In the event of an emergency, I authorize officials of the camp to secure from any licensed hospital, physician and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my minor child’s/ward’s immediate care and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services rendered, including transportation charges.  My child/ward has no medical conditions that would prevent him/her from participating in the camp.
    Cancellation and Refund Policy
    Cancellations made 14 or more days before the start of a camp will receive a refund, minus a $25 cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than 14 days before the start of camp will only receive a refund, less a $25 cancellation fee, if there is a camper on a wait list who can fill that spot.

    Refunds WILL be issued to all campers if a camp is cancelled due to low registration.

    Transfer Policy
    Transfers to a different Playball or Reading Giraffe camp will be granted, with no fee, up to 14 days before the start of a camp, if the desired camp has availability.
