It’s almost summer and figuring out what to do with my boys for 10 weeks is a little daunting. On one hand, I want them to enjoy the freedom that comes with summer time. No school, no schedule and less rules. However, I also know that they will drive me crazy if they just stay home for those 10 weeks. While I’m okay with some screen time, I do have limits too! That’s why I’m signing them up for two weeks of camp in both July and August. The best part is\u00a0 they are actually super excited because they are going back to True North Sports Camp<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kyle has attended Baseball camp here for the past three summers, Ryan for the past two (baseball first, soccer last summer), and Nathan joined them there last year for soccer camp. In fact, Nathan is the most excited to be going back. Almost daily he asks if Summer is here because (in his words) ‘he’s so excited to go to soccer camp!’<\/p>\n I’ve written several posts about why we love the baseball program there. You can read them HERE<\/strong><\/a>, HERE<\/strong><\/a> and HERE<\/strong><\/a>. However, last year was the first time we tried out their soccer camp program. Both Ryan and Nathan attended it for two weeks. I think the boy’s favourite part was the friends that they met at the camp. I can’t really explain it, but the kids that attend True North Sports Camp are some of the sweetest and nicest kids. Everyone seems to be there to have fun and make friends. There are no cliques and the kids are just super sweet. Same thing for the staff. My boys loved their coaches \/ counselors who were always patient, kind and made my boys feel welcomed and loved. Considering my boys were only 4 and 5, this was really important to me. Especially since this was a new experience for both of them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The camp itself has a great approach to the week. While there is a focus on developing soccer skills and playing games, it’s always age appropriate as they split up activities \/ teams by age. If a child wants to take a break from soccer, they can do so by the shade. I personally really like this gentle approach to playing sports –\u00a0 both for kids who might not be super athletic, but also because it provides some variety. Ultimately, I like the fact that the kids are outdoors and away from the screen. It doesn’t actually matter how much time they are playing soccer versus not. I think the staff gets this, especially with the younger kids and I love that about this program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can’t recommend this camp enough! If you are looking to sign up your kids for summer camp here, use my code MAYA15<\/strong> for 15% off one week of summer camp. Your kids can choose between baseball, soccer, football, basketball and multi-sport. There are several camp locations around Toronto, North York, Etibicoke and Markham.
