Adventure and Ultimate Sports Camps
If your child loves nonstop action, variety, and trying new things, Adventure and Ultimate Sports Camps deliver high-energy days packed with team sports, classic camp games, and unforgettable experiences across The St. James’ world-class facility. Campers rotate through an exciting mix of activities—think soccer, basketball, pickleball, ice skating, and ultimate frisbee—plus next-level adventure fun like rock climbing, the Super, Awesome & Amazing ninja warrior course, and time to cool off in the indoor waterpark. Designed to build teamwork, confidence, and athletic skills, this camp is a great fit for kids who want movement all day, love variety, and thrive in an upbeat, social environment.
STEAM Camps
For curious minds who love to build, test, and discover, STEAM Camps combine hands-on learning with creativity and play. Weekly themes keep things fresh and engaging, with options that may include everything from space and dinosaurs to engineering, building, and innovation. Campers collaborate, solve problems, and bring ideas to life—learning through doing while still enjoying a true camp experience.
Specialty Sports Camps (15+ options)
With over 15 specialty sports camps led by a professional coaching staff, athletes can find the right match for their age and ability. Beginners learn fundamentals in a supportive environment, while more experienced players refine sport-specific technique, boost game awareness, and improve overall performance. With focused coaching and plenty of reps, campers gain skills and confidence that carry beyond the summer.
Junior Counselor Program (Counselor in Training)
For older campers ready for the next step, The St. James Junior Counselor Program (Counselor in Training) offers a dynamic, fun, and educational way to build leadership skills and gain real-world experience. Junior Counselors assist staff and support younger campers throughout daily activities, shadow counselors to learn teamwork and responsibility, and take part in group challenges like scavenger hunts and special events. Those interested may also have opportunities to assist with the Operations Team to learn how large-scale camps and programs are organized. Junior Counselors are assigned to a different camp and activity each day, keeping the experience varied, engaging, and growth-focused.
