UW Sports Ministry is the ministry we have joined with in the past to help us run sports camps at our church. They have been doing this ministry with churches since 1996. This year is going to be different than the previous 25 because of the Covid-19 issue.

UW Sports Ministry is planning and building a Family run sports camp in the safety of your family’s environment. This Family plan will be in conjunction with our church and we will be actively involved in connecting to you and to UW Sports to make this a positive, growing and fun experience for you and your children.  Every child would be able to choose their sport and possibly more than one sport.

Attached you will see an outline of how the pieces of the ministry will be outlined for families over a 5 week period. You can run camp a little each day or make one day your camp day each week. It is totally flexible as well as built with videos, written instruction, activity sheets, multi-family Zoom meetings from our church and interaction from the children’s ministry department as well.

I am sure God has done amazing things in your family during this time, and we think a sports camp online experience will be a memory that will last a lifetime.

UW is also providing one of it’s summer staff to be your Family Camp Guide.

Sign-ups are open now at this link.  If you are not familiar with UW, here is their website link.

UW Sports Camp Family Plan Structure 2020

Camp has activity for 90 minutes a day. For 5 days a week. Friday Fun Day will be a bit different and built on reviewing the week. Each day is Broken into FIVE- 15 minute segments and THREE- 5 minute segments that can be done all at once or one at a time throughout the day. They are stand alone and can be done out of order or spread throughout the day or week as the family has time and help to make it happen.
