Kids in Motion Summer Sports Camp

Another fun week at camp with so many amazing kids. I’m so grateful for the families trusting in me to give their kids an awesome and super fun experience. From our awesome Sandball game to manhunt & capture the flag in the Driving Park forest to our Spencer Gorge hike and river swim, the kids were non stop active.... If you’d like to see your child running, jumping, playing & swimming in the gorge contact me, Ross Marchesano. I guarantee your child will have a great time.

The kids are having a blast playing Sandball. A game my campers and son’s made up 6 yrs ago. Great game for all ages and skill levels.

Another great day on our hike to Spencer Gorge in Dundas. The kids had an absolute blast catching crayfish and jumping off the rocks into rock pools. We discovered some new swimming areas and some awesome little rapids to slide down.... I had so much fun watching them play. If youd love to see your child having this much fun I am hosting 2 more camp weeks, August 17th & the 24th in the Dundas Driving Park. To register please contact me, Ross at [email protected] or DM me here

What a fabulous Friday (July 17, 2020) we had at camp. We went on our hike to Spencer Gorge and the kids just had a blast. The water was cool and refreshing and the kids just loved playing in the river catching crayfish, minnows and jumping of the rocks into the swimming areas. Love seeing all the smiles on their faces... If youd love to see your child having this much fun at camp then contact me, Ross Marchesano at [email protected] or DM me here on Facebook

The kids are having a blast playing Sandball. A game my campers and sons made up 6 yrs ago. Great game for all ages and skill levels.

Here are some photos of our 1st week of camp at the Dundas Driving Park. What an amazing week it was. Parents were so happy to see their kids out running, swimming, jumping, playing in the bush and getting dirty and going to bed early each night.... Kids were so happy to be outside diving on the sand each morning playing our Sandball game and running through the forested area of the park getting dirty and very sweaty playing manhunt. I am so grateful and thankful for the beautiful hot weather we had and the amazing kids and their families for trusting in me. If you know anyone who wants or needs their kids to be out running, jumping and playing please have them contact me Ross Marchesano at [email protected] or DM me here. Watch for my next post of videos from my week 1 camp.

CAMP UPDATE CAMP IS STILL A GO!!! Good morning everyone and a happy Tuesday to you all! ... I want to let everyone know that my Kids in Motion Summer Sports Camp in the Dundas Driving Park is still on. But because of Covid-19 and the restrictions imposed on us all by Canadas & Ontarios health professionals, camp this summer will be modified. My camp will run Monday to Friday but I am adjusting the hours and we will only be running morning sessions from 9-noon but could possibly be extended to 1pm as restrictions lift or change. The current rules for groups in a public place such as a park is a maximum of 10 ppl but that can change as the summer progresses. I will be having my son Jaedenn who has been working with me as a counselor the past 2 summers run a 2nd group of kids if there is more than 10 registered. Last week the park bathrooms opened and a sign showed that the park staff will be doing 2 sanitizing cleans per day and this morning I heard Mayor Fred Eisenberger on CHCH morning show say that splash pads across the city will be opening up. Thank goodness. Even though things are opening up I want to stay diligent in keeping your children save. I will have hand sanitizer, face coverings and will be modifying our games such as manhunt so that there is limited contact. My goal for those 3 & hopefully 4 hrs is to make sure your children have a fabulous time, get lots of exercise since many have been stuck in doors and to achieve my #1 goal in my camps.. To get as dirty as you possibly can Unfortunately there will be no end of the week BBQ that I host for the kids but we will still do our hike to Spenser Gorge below both Websters & Tews Falls where we swim in the rock pools and catch crayfish.. The weeks that I will be running are as follows: July 6 - 10 July 13 - 17 July 20 - 24 July 27 - 31 August 10 - 14 August 17 - 21 If there is interest as the summer continues I may add a 7th week August 24 - 28. The cost for this years camp will be $150 + tax per camper per week. For those that registered your child prior to the lockdown and purchased a full week, your full day week camp has now become 2 half day weeks. As for camp T shirts unfortunately because of the uncertainty of whether or not camp was going to happen I did not purchase Tshirts this year. To register your child or for more information please email me Ross at [email protected] Thank you for view my camp page and I hope to meet and see you all this summer. Please stay safe and keep smiling

What an amazing summer I have had running my sports camp. I have had the pleasure and honor of hanging out, teaching and playing with so many great kids. From soccer to rock climbing, to sand ball and our all day adventure hike to Spencer Gorge, the amazing warm weather to getting super dirty and muddy while playing manhunt and capture the flag in the mini forest in the park. I could not have asked for a more perfect and satisfying summer camp season. But... we are not finished. We have one week left then it is back to school for the campers. I still have a few spots left if you are interested. Just contact me at [email protected] or go to my website, www.sportsfit.ca Here are some great pics of my campers from this summer.

Friday July 15, 2016 was our final day of week 1 camp and we had a ton of fun. We had a 4 on 4 Basketball and Sand Ball tournament all morning. 4 teams going head to head in both sports and Team Sophia pulled it out over Team Angelina to take the over all lead at 5 wins and 1 loss. For lunch, I hosted a pizza party. The pizza which was absolutely delicious and was made by "The Red Door Cuccina" in Dundas. A father/son Italian take out eatery just off park street. The afte...rnoon brought about another Girls vs Boys capture the flag game which lasted nearly an hour. After our big game we headed over to the tuck shop in the park, The Dundas Scoop for some very tasty ice cream. I want to say thank you to all the families that trusted me to create a fun week for their kids. All in all, the first week was very successful and I hope it is a sign of how the remaining summer will go. See more

Day 4 of week 1 camp was a blast. A little wet since it rained the night before but a little rain or a lot of rain is not going to detour the kids in my camp from having fun. In the morning it was back to the beach, lol, the beach volleyball area for a morning of Sand Ball. In the afternoon we went on our hike to the lower areas of Websters and Tews falls to catch some crayfish and swim in water. Day 5, Friday is pizza party day and we'll play many of the games we learned as well as capture the flag and manhunt.

Day 3 of our first week brought the heat, literally. 40C with the humidity but that did not stop us from having one absolutely awesome day. We started off the day playing in the sand. Sand Ball, a game that the kids from my 2nd year of camp created because beach volleyball was too difficult for the young kids (5-9 yoa). The kids can't get enough of this game. Played on the beach volleyball court but instead of bumping and setting the kids catch and throw the ball over the ...net. Sounds easy but this is a great hand - eye coordination game as well you don't throw it right at the opposing player. You make them run, dive and catch all at once and if they miss they are out and waiting for the next game. Since we started this game, kids who were at camp the previous years always ask when we can play Sand Ball. Who doesn't love playing in the sand. After Sand Ball it was straight to the splash pad. By 11am we certainly started feeling the heat on our feet. Meaning the sand was getting hot and it was time to cool them off. In the afternoon we played Flag Football. I am always so impressed how quickly kids can pick up a game if you the coaches are patient enough to teach the kids how to catch, throw and run. Game 1 was Girls vs Boys. Good close game but the boys took it in the end and then we had a mixed team game for about 30 mins before it was onto manhunt in the mini forest the park offers us. I will tell you that the kids get one heck of a workout playing manhunt or capture the flag. The forested area is hilly and the kids running up and down the hills really get a great workout, including me. We ended the day with another splash pad experience and home for the night. Day 4 brings about more sand ball possibly in the rain which is fine by me. We still play in the rain no matter what and the kids love it because they get even dirtier, lol. In the afternoon we go on our hike to the lower areas of webster's and Tew's falls. Interested in knowing more, contact me at [email protected] or visit my website at www.sportsfit.ca See more

Well, day 2 of the first week has come and gone and it was a great one. The morning started off with a bus ride to Gravity Rock Climbing in Hamilton. Such an amazing place and the kids were all unbelievable climbers. Racing up the walls like a bunch of monkeys. I am so glad we added this sporting event to the camp. The afternoon was spent back at the park and the kids were screaming and begging to get into another game of capture the flag so off we went. It was certainly... hot but not too bad under the cover of the little forest in the park but plenty of opportunity to get dirty and did they ever... I love it when kids roll around in the grass, slide down the dirt covered hills and laugh and smile all day long. We finished off the day with some of the girls running through the splash pad to get cooled off. Day 3 coming up... Flag Football!!!! See more

Here are 2 more pics one of the moms sent.. You can certainly see how dirty we all got playing manhunt and capture the flag in the forest in the park

What an unbelievable first day of camp today. The kids and myself had so much fun. I couldn't ask for a better day to start the 2016 summer sports camp season. Coach Adam did a wonderful job with the soccer session in the morning. Tons of games, lots of skills and many many great laughs. The afternoon was filled with the boys vs girls in capture the flag and manhunt, all the kids favorite. The girls certainly took my number 1 rule to heart. "Get as dirty as you possi...bly can" Did they ever.... I LOVE IT!!!! here are some great pics of our soccer sessions today... Tomorrow... Rock Climbing...
