Objectives
-
To promote physical activity in a fun and safe environment
-
To promote lifelong activity and a healthy approach to childhood obesity
prevention
-
To challenge each child to improve his or her own level of performance
Mission Statement
Through innovative programming and the use of active learning practices focusing
on obesity prevention, lifelong fitness, and skill development, the Youth Sport
Camps support the educational and public service mission of the Department of
Health and Exercise Science and Colorado State University. We provide hands-on
experience and research opportunities for CSU students and staff while
promoting the benefits of physical activity and health lifestyles for youth in
the community. To help us meet our goal of decreasing the prevalence of childhood obesity and
inactive lifestyles, we aspire to develop a working model of summer camp
programming that focuses on these two issues. We will offer new and exciting
programming that features up-to-date information and activities on lifetime
fitness and wellness. We also plan to collect data from volunteer campers
regarding their physical activity levels and nutritional habits to help us gage
the effectiveness of our changes.

Overview
The Youth Sport Camps are an eleven-week day-camp program of sports activities.
The 2009 camp season begins on Monday, June 1 and ends on Friday, August 14.
Camps run from 9am - 4pm Monday-Friday. One-week sessions are offered in
baseball, basketball, inline hockey, soccer, softball, field sports, and volleyball.
In addition, we feature our FunLIFE (Learning to Improve Fitness and Eating)
camp again this year, which combines sports and physical activity with healthy
lessons and curriculum. This summer, we have also added Music and Movement,
which combines aerobic dance, rhythms, and martial arts movement with music.
As always, we will be featuring our Super Sport Camp, which is a
traditional day-camp program that is offered in two-week sessions. The Super
Sport Camp includes a focus activity (basketball/volleyball, soccer,
baseball/softball, team/field sports, and track and field), plus group
activities, swim lessons, and field trips. |
The Youth Sport Camps program is an approved child care activity. Camp tuition
is deductible for certain child care flexible spending accounts. Contact your
spending account program administrator for more information.

Due to various large construction projects at the university, we still do not have tennis courts, and we will do our best to have them back in 2010. Tennis camps, therefore, will be suspended
for the 2009 season. We apologize for the situation.

are three ways to register for any YSC camp:
