What is Sports Camp?

Sports Camp is a totally free, annual community event for students currently in K-5 (in May 2012) presented by the Amelia Church of Christ at the Batavia Township Park in Batavia, OH. Each year, hundreds of kids come together for the week to have an awesome time playing sports in a safe and friendly environment!

Registration: May 1-31, Online Only!

Registration runs only from May 1 to 31, is offered online only, and is for students currently in K-5 (in May 2012) only. No exceptions. Sports Camp 2012 is limited to 240 kids (60 per sport), so register soon, as the event will fill up fast! Once it's full, it's full! If you do not receive a ticket via e-mail for each child you register with their name on it, they are NOT registered and will not be allowed to stay on the premises for Sports Camp. Without their registration ticket each night, we will have to turn your child away. We take your child's security very seriously.

Why do we do it?

At ACC, our vision is simple: Connecting, Growing and Serving. And Sports Camp is our biggest opportunity all year to serve our community. This experience gives literally hundreds of kids a chance to be the center of attention of an army of passionate volunteers who love Jesus. Oh yeah, plus we're kind of nuts about sports.

Is Sports Camp right for my child?

Sports Camp is only for students currently in grades K-5 (in May 2012). If your child is younger or older than that, unfortunately, it's not for them. If they're the right age, don't worry if they've never played a sport. We are here to teach them the basics first. By the end of the week, they'll feel like a pro.

Will my child be safe?

We have taken great precautions to ensure your child's safety from the time our volunteers escort them from your car at drop-off to the time we return them to you at pick-up. Our dedicated security team will remain on site at all times, and all of our volunteers have undergone background checks. Safety is one of our top priorities at Sports Camp.

Where does Sports Camp happen?

Sports Camp is held at the Batavia Township Park at 1535 Clough Pike, Batavia, OH. This is not the Veteran's Memorial (Helicopter) Park in Union Township. This includes Meet the Coach Night on Sunday and the Closing Program on Friday. All portions of the event are at the park.

What Sports can my child choose from?

Your child may choose from one of the following sports for the week:

Basketball: bring a basketball labeled with your name
Soccer: bring shin guards and a soccer ball labeled with your name
Backyard Games: no need to bring anything extra
Martial Arts: no need to bring anything extra

Do I have to come on Sunday night?

Yes! This is a very important night. Your child will receive their name tags and wristband that will allow them to attend for the week. Without these items, your child will not be able to stay for Sports Camp. Please make sure you come on Sunday night!

Are there any changes from previous years?

There are a few changes from previous years. The big ones are:

Registration is online only! (same as Sports Camp 2011)
You will need to bring your ticket (printed or on your smart phone) for each child to Meet the Coach Night on Sunday at 6:00 pm as well as every night to drop-off and pick-up for Sports Camp 2012 (no "mirror hangers" this year)
If you do not have your child's Eventrbrite Registration Ticket, name tag and wristband every night, they will not be allowed to stay or leave.
We will be having a closing program on Friday that will include the entire family. For security reasons and traffic concerns, we still must insist that parents not exit their cars the rest of the week. (same as Sports Camp 2011)

What is the schedule for the week?

You may not arrive each night (Mon-Thu) to drop off your child prior to 5:45 pm. If you arrive before 5:45 pm to get in line, you will be asked to leave and come back.

You may not arrive each night (Mon-Thu) for regular pick-up time prior to 9:00 pm (obviously emergencies, etc. do not apply). If you arrive to get in line before 9:00 pm, you will be asked to leave and come back at the appropriate time.

Sun, Jun 10	6pm - 8pm*	Meet the Coaches & Pick Up Security Packets (you must be registered by May 31)
Mon, Jun 11	6pm - 9pm	Sports Camp
Tue, Jun 12	6pm - 9pm	Sports Camp
Wed, Jun 13	6pm - 9pm	Sports Camp
Thu, Jun 14	6pm - 9pm	Sports Camp
Fri, Jun 15	6pm - 8:30pm*	Closing Program for the Whole Family

* Notice the different end times on Sunday and Friday

Can I register my child after the deadline?

Nope, sorry! Due to our security measures, we must enforce a very strict deadline on registration. We take your child's safety very seriously, and letting extra registrations come through after the deadline would not allow us to provide the safety and security measures we require to make sure everyone has a safe and fun week. If you do not receive a ticket via e-mail for each child you register with their name on it, they are NOT registered and will not be allowed to stay on the premises for Sports Camp. Without their Eventbrite Registration Ticket, name tag and wristband each night, we will have to turn your child away. You also must have their Ticket to pick them up each night.
