Summer Camp...A Great Place to Learn.

2012-03-06T10:39:00.001-08:00

Summer Camp is a great place to learn.

At United Sports our campers will have the opportunity to learn new things and try new activities.

According to American Camp Association research, 74 percent of campers reported that they tried new activities at camp that they were afraid to do at first. And, those activities often leave lasting impressions. In the same survey, 63 percent of parents reported that their child continued new activities from camp after returning home.

And, the camp experience teaches more than just archery or a new sports skill. The entire experience is made of teachable moments, perhaps one of the biggest is how to live with a group of people. Campers learn to pick up after themselves, respect each other’s property, and to say “Please” and “Thank You.”

Our main focus here at United Sports echoes the above. Some of the activities at United Sports will be new for your camper. Whether its climbing the rock wall, playing a new sport or shooting an arrow, all of the experiences will take place in a safe and secure environment, all important aspects of making each child feel comfortable thereby making that learning experience more enjoyable.

In addition, our staff emphasizes and models the values of fair play, respect, honesty and sportsmanship. Campers will be aware of the importance of these values and reminded to make good decisions each day.

The combination of learning new skills and emphasis on good values makes summer camp at United Sports a truly exceptional experience.

Making Friends at Summer Camp

2012-02-14T05:27:00.001-08:00

I am compelled to share an important moment from summer camp last year. It took place in the middle of the summer and was an answer to a question I posed to our Action Day Campers. I asked them, "who in camp has made a new friend this summer?" I have asked this question before and when I do I hope to see each camper raise their hand. But, you never really know what the response will be. Well, I was pleasantly rewarded with every child's hand raised. I say rewarded, not because of anything we purposely do at camp. My reward comes from the fact that each child felt that they actually did make a new friend at camp. That what we do here at United Sports in our camp setting is not only play, but teach the values of respect, honesty and sportsmanship. These are the true values of friendship and we do that well every year.

Why Choose United Sports Summer Camps

2012-01-24T05:34:00.000-08:00

When is the right time to start thinking about summer camp?
This is as important a decision as any a parent will make especially because the decision involves the care of children.

The key factors that usually steer this decision include location of the camp, the camp program, staffing and how the camp fosters making friends and learning.

As you begin to assess where your child will go to camp this summer, lets take a look at each of these factors and why your child’s summer camp destination should be United Sports.

• Location - We are conveniently located just off business RT. 30 and only minutes from the 30 By-pass.

• Camp Program - A diverse program with a lot to offer for both the athlete and non-athlete – sports camps for the higher skilled players and those who just want to learn a little and play a lot, camps for boys and girls and ages from 3 to 15.

• Staffing - Our strongest asset as all of our staff have previous experience working with children and expertise in the area in which they work.

Upcoming Events:
Sunday, March 11 – Chester County Summer Camp Fair at United Sports 11:30am to 2:30pm includes free admission, door prizes, entertainment for children and a chance to visit with over 25 local summer camp programs to learn about what they have to offer.

Tours:
If you or someone you know are interested in taking a tour of our facility, feel free to contact me at mbernstein@unitedsports.net. We have a large building and we understand that it might be intimidating for a child coming to the facility for the first time. Tours are also a chance to ask questions about camp and become familiar with the policies of summer camp.

Birthday Cards:
Be on the lookout for your child’s birthday card. All campers under the age of 14 are sent birthday cards at the beginning of the month of their birthday. Each card includes 3 coupons to use at United Sports and they don’t expire until January 1, 2013.
