Camp is a time for running, jumping, splashing, and fun!  Throw in a healthy dose of castles and dragons, bats and rats, French fries and cookies, race cars and flying saucers... and you get the SportsPlus Camp. With over 30 years experience working with with kids around the world, our approach provides an imaginative, sporty adventure for BOYS and GIRLS of all athletic abilities.

Campers are introduced to a variety of sports each week, learning skills for football, basketball, baseball, kickball, soccer, and volleyball. The emphasis is on FUN, with plenty of high-energy games thrown into the mix. As with any Playball program, we stress character education traits like sportsmanship and teamwork while providing a low-pressure environment that encourages all campers to join in the fun!

As an author, educator, and Dad, I know that children naturally like to read. But they LOVE to read when stories come to life!  Reading Giraffe utilizes The Whole Book Approach from The Eric Carle Museum to create an INTERACTIVE, SHARED reading experience that makes picture books tools of learning! Our themed lessons include some of the most creative and engaging children’s stories, from the classics to wonderful present-day reads to my own published works.
 
But turning pages is just the beginning, as we lead interactive read-alongs, where we read with, not to, campers, encouraging them to ask questions about themes and plots. We promote participation in each book and include spelling exercises, vocabulary words, creative projects, mini-plays, nature walk-n-reads, and fun games, all based on the storylines and characters we read about. Each camp also includes “Build-a-Book” sessions, which gives campers the chance to put on their writers’ hats and pen their very own tall tales.

Here is the schedule for our Reading Giraffe camps at the YMCA at the Complex (971 Tom Hall Street; Fort Mill, SC 29715).

9am - 12pm daily   $140 per week (YMCA Members) / $190 per week (Non-members)
​        July 31 - August 4
