OTHER CAMP INFO: Skyhawks Sports Camps are SAFETY FOCUSED!

At Skyhawks we go the extra mile to focus on safety, and we have a long-standing proven safety track record and processes to prove it. For example, all Skyhawks Sports camps start and end with our unique safety process called "Gate System and Parking Lot Duty." This process is where coaches come and greet both parents and campers in the parking lot when parents pull up to drop off their children.

Our staff guide the kids onto the field/court and out of harm's way by funneling them into our gate system. Eye contact is maintained from each one of our staff members until the kids make it onto the field/court where they are grouped by age. This efficient process ensures safety. Additionally, it develops a level of trust between parent, coach, and child that ultimately leads to a fun and skill-focused camp for youth.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Skyhawks Sports Camps are offered throughout the summer, and specific dates and times vary from location to location.

Fees vary depending on age, duration of camp, and location.

You can find a complete list of sessions, times, and fees for ALL the Skyhawks Sports Camps in your area at: Our Camp Website Link: www.skyhawks.com.

Matt was an Air Force Special Operations officer that was killed in combat in Afghanistan in 2015. He earned the Silver Star for his courage under fire. His father is a retired Air Force Colonel and is part of our staff. We are proud to serve our community and pass on Matt's legacy to our future leaders and members of the guardian class.

There is a hard structure on site that we can move into should severe weather move into the area.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Intrepid Leadership Group are military veterans and special operators that worked closely while in Joint Special Operations Command. All of us have sons and daughters that we've raised to stand up for what they believe in and serve others. Our camp is designed to take capable and motivated teens and teach them to use their skills to help others and contribute to society.

We've learned our best leadership training was during stressful situations, so we've created manageable stress by assigning our teens "missions" they have to plan and execute, sometimes in paintball gear while receiving "fire". This manageable stress is a fun and safe way of increasing their heart rate while teaching them to make decisions and lead their teammates. We also use Clifton's StrengthFinders personality assessment tool to help our teens understand and exploit their natural strengths.

We have two certified strength coaches on site the entire time and we use this tool as part of our daily feedback sessions. This is our third year and our camps are fantastic!

Please go to our website and check out pictures and video as well as the "camp cadre" to learn a little about our background. While it can get intense at times, we always keep it safe and ensure humor and fun is always part of the curriculum. Feel free to contact me directly at BullerK[AT]LeadIntrepid.com to discuss our camp further and get any of your questions answered.

Our staff is, comprised of the best children's chess instructors in North America! The USA Chess camps are uniquely qualified to cater to the needs of the advanced scholastic player as well as the true beginner. USA Chess hit its first milestone in the summer of 2000 producing the largest chess camp ever held in the United States, with more than 250 students enrolled. What was most surprising, however, was the amount of absolute beginners in attendance - more than 50% of the total enrollment was just starting to play chess. This realization led to the national rollout tour of 100 camps in more than 70 cities. The annual tours have been immensely successful with several thousand campers attending this year alone.

USA Chess thrives on providing a structured environment that is extremely conducive to learning chess. We handpick the best children's chess instructors from all over the United States and bring them to each camp. We believe our team is most effective in teaching chess to children of all ages and levels. The exceptional organization and ever-fun curriculum has fueled much interest from scholastic players and coaches from around the country, prompting them to request USA Chess camps in their areas.

At the same summer camp locations, we also offer the immensely popular Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Camps, The Active Learning Computer Animation Programs, and other Computer Enrichment Programs such as Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft. We now offer seven unique programs in all.
