Spring into action this March Break!
School’s out for March Break, and your living room has suddenly turned into a wild jungle of toys, noise, and kids bouncing off the walls like rogue pinballs. You’re thrilled to have more time with the little champs but, let's face it, the prospect of keeping them entertained and unglued from their tablet screens, can send even the calmest parent into a mild state of panic. Enter Sportball's March Break Camps in partnership with Armbrae Academy— where our game plan includes fun, skill development and new friendships!
We've got half-day sprints and full-day marathons, packed with activities from 8 different sports, skill sharpening, and just the right amount of friendly competition for children aged 4 and up. Our Sportball Methodology isn't just a fancy term—it's our secret sauce that ensures every kiddo leaves each day with stories of their epic camp escapades and a big, tired smile!
Camp runs from 9am to 4:30pm with Sportball activities being offered for half of the day with crafts and games offered by Armbrae for the other half.
