"A BALL OF FUN FOR EVERYONE"
Kids Elite empowers children to live active lifestyles through high quality developmental sports, fitness and enrichment programs. Our core values are taught and reinforced throughout the week.

A “Camper of the Day” who has demonstrated the day’s core value is selected from each camper group at the closing huddle.
We encourage campers to “Do your best and be your best!” We believe when kids learn to set goals and welcome healthy competition, they develop high self-efficacy and a positive self-image.
