ABOUT KIDSPORT INCLUSIVE CAMPS
KidSport Inclusive Camps offer children ages 4-11 the opportunity to learn and play a variety of team sports, individual sports, team-building games, fitness and other physical education activities, in a non-competitive and fun sports environment. The activities are age-appropriate and developed by experts in children’s physical education.
All KidSport Summer Camps are staffed by certified teachers, Applied Exercise Science and Education majors, University of Michigan students and athletes, and other highly qualified individuals focused on providing a first-rate experience for your kids!
