Heroes On The Move

Hello to all our HOTM campers and families,

We were hoping to see you this year at an HOTM Day Camp at Stayner Camp. However, after careful consideration of many factors, it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel all day camp programs for the 2021 season. We are so sorry we will not see our campers for yet another summer.

Please stay safe! 2022 will come and a Day Camp adventure will return. There are new and exciting sports camp and arts programs ready to roll out. God has been gracious to us at Stayner Camp through this pandemic. With hope we look forward to a summer where children’s voices echo through the pines again.

Heroes on the Move SU Sports Day Camp

Ages 6-12

We are partnering with Scripture Union for a brand new Sports Camp experience! At SU Sports Camps, the Coach is Jesus and the challenge is to follow him!

Start getting excited! The week will be packed with skill development, games, scrimmages, and awards, as the campers rotate through 3 sports – soccer, ball hockey, and a daily mystery sport! This will be a recreational sports camp, meaning the emphasis will be on having a blast while also growing in confidence and making new friends. Best of all, we will be looking at the Greatest Coach of All time who invites you to be His friend; that is…Jesus! This will be an unforgettable time and we can’t wait to see you!

John O’Sullivan from the Changing the Game Project says this: “it is crucial for a child under the age of 13 to participate in more than one sport”. At SU Sports Camp, under the kind hand of SU interns and Stayner Camps’ own huddle coaches, campers will be encouraged through every activity. These leaders are excited about working with 6 to 12-year-olds. Exceptional coaching fosters teamwork and a sense of belonging during each sports session and daily team talk. Don’t miss out on this camp experience at Stayner Camp this summer!
