Each program is carefully planned and structured to help campers advance their command of the challenges at a comfortable and enjoyable pace. Most programs will have a developmental stage, followed by an application type of approach, followed by a break and review session. Once there is a reasonable understanding they will move on to the next lesson. Our Sports programs typically follow a daily schedule with individual skills, fundamental techniques, and drilling sessions in the morning followed by situational play and progressions into scrimmages and games and match play conditions in the afternoons. Our Specialty programs follow core curriculums, project management, daily themes, and planned lessons, with the afternoons available for show and performance rehearsals as well as recreational activities. All programs include appropriately timed-out breaks, a lunch period, a daily swim or water park period, and afternoon snack time.
