Sports FUNdamentals Summer Camp provided kids ages 8—10 an opportunity to learn basic movement skills combined with an introduction to a variety of sports like gymnastics, tennis, swimming and soccer. The Camp built confidence and allowed kids to participate in more sport activities and promotes life-long physical fitness.
