Genesis Mighty Camps

By Janna Dickerson April 10, 2019

At Mighty Camp, we strive to take the hassle and guilt out of your summer planning. Our goal is to create an enriching summer camp experience for ages 5 – 12, packed with fun-filled days that your child will be stoked to be a part of. Avoid a long, boring summer at home and join the Mighty Camp Family!

CAMP GOALS

  • To engage, energize, and inspire children to be active.
  • To foster personal character development, respect for others and build confident, capable problem solvers.
  • To cultivate positive self-talk within our campers.
  • To develop skills in sports-specific areas and have FUN!

WHO WE ARE

We are a passionate team of youth development professionals who are honored to serve youth during out of school time. We are committed to leveraging our intentional camp setting to create an  environment where children are free from evaluation  and given robust opportunities to courageously try something new, fail  and get back up again in a supported environment, and feel deeply valued and connected to a community who celebrates them for who they are. We take our opportunity to serve seriously and choose to create change through ridiculously fun camp experiences!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Children enrolled in Mighty Camp spend approximately three hours daily in sport-focused “Learn to Play Workshops.” The remainder of their time is spent engaged in other  activities like STEAM, swimming, Kids Yoga, Improv classes, Character Programming, and local field trips.

CHARACTER AND LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMMING

Coaching, celebrating, and reinforcing character  based decision making is at the core of the Mighty Camp experience. Each  week we have a new life skill and character trait we are focused on  sharing with our campers. Campers move through  intentionally crafted lesson plans that unpack what it looks like and  sounds like to be courageous, responsible, honest, patient, attentive,  generous, compassionate, creative, and determined. In addition to  dedicating time to learning about character we spend  time celebrating our campers for choosing to make decisions rooted in  character. Each week, during our campfire activity, campers are  recognized for the positive impact their presence makes as they choose  to make character driven choices in camp!
