Our Values
DARE to LOVE
Discipline – Attitude – Respect – Effort
Listen – Obey – Volunteer – Every Day; and “to” stands for “teach others”.
DARE to LOVE Summer FUN Camps: Our goal is to promote virtues, values, and Biblical principles through SUMMER FUN CAMP; athletic skills and drills, and Leadership programs. DARE = Discipline – Attitude - Respect and Effort and LOVE = Listen – Obey - Volunteer - Every day; “to”= Teach Others. Our intention is also to develop your child(ren)’s physical abilities, confidence in themselves, and FUNdamental life skills while embracing faith-based principles. We endeavor to provide a variety of other activities to keep them physically, mentally, socially, environmentally, intellectually, and spiritually active.
LEGO WEEKS and *(NEW) STEAM DAYS: LEGO Weeks: Thousands of dollars of Lego and Blocks will be transported to our imagination creation station. Lego provides a way of mastering many kinds of emerging skills, such as problem solving, spatial skills, and understanding semi complex tasks. Using three-dimensional objects also enables young and fertile minds the ability to plan ahead and make the necessary alterations so the pieces fit together as intended. (Retrieved April/2024 from: https://www.kidsclubchildcare.com.au/does-playing-lego-benefit-early-childhood)
S.T.E.A.M. DAYS: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. We continue providing STEAM activities that develop fine motor skills, focus, creative thinking, and critical thinking through FUN projects and gamified activities for all ages (LEGO and more).
SPORTS & LEADERSHIP CAMP (July 6-Aug. 14) Ages 13-15: The camp is primarily based on leadership skills, basketball, and soccer (other sports such as Pickleball may be introduced based on camper interest). Customized weekly and daily based on the campers skills. There is no “cookie cutter” week. The objective is to continuously develop and improve each camper’s skills on and off the court while adhering to the virtues and values of DARE to LOVE Sports Club. Each camper attending will see and notice their progress daily and weekly.
