From our friends at BaxterSports Camps:

Established in Portland in 2008, BaxterSports Camps offers a holistic approach to coaching kids with a mix of traditional sports and creative games that teach not only the techniques and tactics of sports but also promote the character development necessary for success both on and off the field.

They provide FUN as the main motivator while also:

  • Introducing kids to different sports
  • Providing a safe, supportive environment to develop crucial social and emotional life skills.
  • Playing cooperative and competitive games that build confidence, foster collaboration, and promote effective communication strategies.
  • Teaching kids how to win AND how to lose.
  • Balancing a healthy combination of structured activities with instruction and supervised free play for self-directed exploration and creativity.

They offer families a wide variety of programming:

All Sports Camps
Designed for all ages and skill levels, these camps offer a little bit of everything and a whole lotta fun: basketball, soccer, dodgeball, kickball, tennis, football, capture the flag and more!

Soccer Camps
Everybody’s favorite kid sport for every type of kid. Competitive Camps for kids who sleep in their cleats, and All Level Camps designed to help kids get the most out of the game.

Competitive Camps
An opportunity for 10-14 year old athletes to train their bodies and their minds through multi-faceted drills and competitions aimed to take them to the next level.

All Girls Camps
Created by female coaches to give female athletes the space to learn, experiment, and find themselves on the field, these camps are nurturing, yet challenging, sports camps where girls rule.
