Come be a part of the tradition
For more than 30 years Sports Camp has provided an opportunity for youth from all round to enjoy their love of sports, teams, competition and being part of a family, while developing religious principles and values. Through groups called families, the youth develop sportsmanship, teamwork and cooperation, all while having fun through sports. An Olympic-style theme is adopted through the week, culminating in a competition between the families in events such as swimming, track and field, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, and ping pong among many others!
There is a place for you
Sports Camp is not just for the gifted athlete, but for the youth that enjoy playing sports at whatever level or proficiency. Both boys and girls, guided by adult counselors, work together as a family unit, practice, play and grow through their shared experiences. Using sports and athletics as a medium, Sports Camp helps youth keep a religious perspective on life, their relationship with God, as well as each other.
Join the Sports Camp Family
Sports Camp is a tradition of the Illinois Conference, United Church of Christ's Outdoor Ministry System. Offered at Pilgrim Park in Princeton, Illinois, hundreds of youth over the past 30+ years have joined the Sports Camp Family.
