NEW!!! Recreation and Wellness Department- Recreation Team Leadership Camp

<h2> NEW!!! Recreation Team Leadership Camp</h2> <p> Recreation Team Leadership Camp is a week-long camp for boys and girls ages 13-15 which offers a chance to enjoy competitive play while participating in leadership training. This camp is for students who want an overall physical fitness and multi-sports camp experience. Each afternoon is divided into three periods, including fitness training and various sports and games. After counselors teach the rules and basic skills of each game, they will move out of the spotlight to allow campers to choose and organize their own games.</p> <p> This process gives students a chance to take ownership of their play and make the decisions necessary for a successful game. Camp instructors will supervise all activities, but campers will be encouraged to resolve conflicts, referee their own games, and motivate each other to engage robustly in each activity. This is not a sport-specific program. Students will be grouped according to age and ability. Participants can register for more than one week.</p> <p> <strong>Skills targeted:</strong> Participants in Recreational Leadership Camp will develop the skills of physical conditioning, commitment, confidence, character, responsibility, organization, leadership, sportsmanship, and manage conflict through participation in a variety of sports, games, and group activities, including rock climbing, basketball, flag football, indoor/outdoor soccer, floor hockey, and volleyball.</p> <p> <br /> <strong>What to bring:</strong> gym clothes, tennis shoes without black soles, and lunch/snacks.</p> <p> <strong>Cost Per Week:</strong> SRC Member - $175; Non-Member - $215</p> <p> Cost includes a camp T-shirt, a copy of &quot;The Team Captain&#39;s Leadership Manual&quot; by Jeff Janssen, First Aid/CPR Certification, and All Field Trips</p> <p> <strong>Week 1 July 7 - July 11</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9am -4pm - Sports Leadership Camp</p> <p> <strong>Week 2 July 14-July 18</strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9am -4pm - Sports Leadership Camp</p> <p> <strong>Week 3 July 21-July 25</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 9am -4pm - Sports Leadership Camp</p> <p> <strong>Week 4 July 28-August 1</strong>&nbsp; 9am -4pm - Sports Leadership Camp</p> <p> Each Camp will have a minimum of 8 campers with a maximum of 14 campers per week.</p> <p> For more information, please contact our Recreation Team Leadership Camp Director Brandon Adams <a href="mailto:badams@odu.edu">badams@odu.edu</a></p>
