HOLIDAY & NEW YEARS CAMP
Our TAC Sports Holiday and New Years Camp offers three to six combine-able sports choices for our campers. They can choose 1 sport per half day, and 2 sports per week.
Campers engage in sports while building confidence and skills, focusing on fun training and development, mixed with frequent game-play, to create a varied and dynamic week of camp. We aim to develop good habits, nurturing a positive sports mentality and building great moral character and leadership. Campers are tracked on their progress throughout the week to ensure they are developing rapidly.
In all sports, campers are sorted into appropriate skill level and age group on the first day. We are excited to see you there!
Additionally, your fee will include a TAC T-shirt for your child!

MULTI SPORT ADVENTURE CAMP
TAC Adventure Camp is a FULL DAY program (with a HALF DAY option) for ages 3.5-5. Every week offers a different theme (i.e. Safari, Atlantis, Superheros and Villains, etc.), where exciting activities are planned in correspondence to that theme. The weekly activities include activities such as arts and crafts, story time, camp songs, low organizational games (where campers learn fundamental movement skills), and scavenger hunts that are stimulating for young minds, fostering creativity and imagination, and more importantly develops both literacy and physical literacy. Furthermore, each day features a specific sport that is modified to be developmentally appropriate for this age group, allowing campers to explore soccer, tennis, basketball & dance and decide for themselves what sports they are most passionate about. For more detailed information about this program, please refer to our weekly curriculum plan in the itinerary. All children registered in Adventure Camp must be potty trained.
“Physical literacy is just as important as the ability to read and write. The most important step toward developing physical literacy is mastering fundamental movement skills.”
