Junction Place Sportsplex

A question we love to answer is, “My child hasn’t played a lot of sports and is not always excited to move, do you think this is a good option for them?” Our response is always the same, “We are biased because we have seen, repeated, retooled our process and approach in so many camp settings and the result is always the same. Each day sees every camper walk out of our doors tired from moving but excited to explain to anyone who wants to listen what their favorite part of their day was and what they hope to see on their schedule tomorrow. The end of each camp session sees that by asking ourselves tough questions and allowing for assessments from parents, the results remain the same. All Sports Camps with Junction Place Sportsplex make a positive impact in the lives of each and every young person who joins our jam! So, if as a guardian you value experiences where your child is allowed to arrive and operate as they are, be nudged by intentional design established environment to explore and expand on what they already know and have the people leading your child being passionate about the real benefits of sport and play, such as honing healthy habits like exercise, teamwork, responsibility, respect for others, understanding failures are inevitable but inspire improvement and that above all the journey isn’t about what you do but instead how you do it? Then yes, this camp is PERFECT for YOUR child!”
