Sports 
Professional sports coaches direct the CGI sports program. The coaches are professional physical education instructors who teach with patience, guidance and encouragement.  The campers receive training in over 10 different sports including soccer, basketball, hockey and tennis.  Individual and group training will allow each camper to end the summer a better athlete. Our focus on good sportsmanship and self confidence makes everyone a winner!

Professional Instruction
Campers recieve professional instruction in Fitness, Gymnastics, Sports, Art, Dance, Drama, Magic, Archery, Photography and other creative interests.

Lights, Camera, Action 
Our Drama department is headed by a professional drama instructor.  She and her staff guide the children through character simulation, movement and expression.  The summer ends with a camp production in which all the children participate.  The camp also provides other platforms for the natural expression of comedic and acting talent through a talent show and skits performed by the campers.  

Swimming Instruction
Swimming training and technique improvement are under the guidance of Red Cross Water Safety Instructors. Our goal is to utilize the swimming time at camp to improve the campers’ swimming skills and motivate them for greater aquatic ability. Rest assured that safety is priority #1.
