Looking for Summer Sports Camps That Build More Than Just Physical Skills?

Summer is around the corner, and like many parents, you’re probably searching for something meaningful (and fun) for your kids to do. You want them off screens, active, learning, growing—but also having a blast.
If you're tired of competitive sports that leave your child feeling discouraged or stressed, you're not alone. At Kuyper Sports, we do things differently.
Our summer camps aren’t just about sports—they’re about building healthy competitors: kids who are resilient, kind, confident, and who can win (or lose) with integrity.
Why Traditional Sports Culture Isn’t Working
Most sports environments focus only on winning—not what sports can teach us about life. This leaves many kids overwhelmed, burned out, and not knowing their true identity outside of sports when it's time to hang it up. And when we only value results, we miss the bigger picture: growth, teamwork, leadership, and character.
That’s what Kuyper Sports is all about-- focusing on the whole person, not just the scoreboard.
What Makes Kuyper Sports Camps Different
At our summer sports camps, kids will:
-
Play and compete in fun, low-pressure environments.
-
Learn tools to handle hard moments (like losing or conflict).
-
Build confidence through challenges, not just performance.
-
Grow into leaders and teammates, not just athletes.
Whether your child loves basketball, soccer, or just wants to move and play—we design our camps for all skill levels with a focus on fun, personal growth, and positive relationships.

Helping Your Child Handle Competition Better
What do you do when your child loses a game and is upset? Or when they’re overly focused on being the best? We support both kids and parents in handling these tough moments.
Here are a few tips we teach in camp (and encourage parents to try at home):
- Name the emotion: “You’re feeling disappointed—that’s okay.”
-
Focus on effort: Praise their hustle, their teamwork, their courage—not the scoreboard.
-
Model healthy competition: Let them see you lose with grace.
-
Ask good questions: “What did you learn today?” or “What would you do differently next time?”
Give Your Child Something More This Summer
Kids need more than just another camp—they need places that shape who they’re becoming. Kuyper Sports camps are designed to give kids:
-
A fun and active summer.
-
Life lessons they’ll carry into school, friendships, and beyond.
-
A healthier relationship with competition.
