North Suburbs of Chicago, IL
Since 2007, we have dedicated ourselves to working specifically with girls grades Pre K – 8th to encourage a lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle that includes sports and fitness. Through our unique summer camps and school-year events and programs, we have effectively empowered girls through sports by building their confidence and teaching each one skills and values crucial to their growth as an athlete AND a person. We have worked hard, observing and listening to feedback every step of the way, to become the experts in the areas of communication and teaching methodology. The result is customized, fun programming that includes our signature incentive programs. We are so proud of our impact – exciting girls about staying fit and active on top of imparting core values and life skills that go beyond the playing field. This is our passion and our mission.

While sports and active play happen all day, we also work to impact each camper’s growth on and off the field, integrating lessons focusing on self esteem, respect, nutrition, teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship, & more. Camp includes exposure to role models through highly-trained staff, motivational speakers and clinics. Plus, we also incorporate fun camp traditions since as water wars, tie dye, empowering dress up days, spirit contests, World Games Week, and more!
Since 2007, our mission has been to ensure every Game On! girl experiences growth as an athlete and a person, along with feeling empowered, confident, proud & “GirlStrong.”
