Headfirst Summer Camps

As this week comes to a close, our campers are encouraged to remember the lessons taught this week with the emphasis on resiliency. We hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you again for yet another great week at camp!

Going with this week’s Super Six, resiliency, our Jr. Day campers are practicing to “Bounce, don’t break.” We teach our younger campers these important words with simple phrases so it sticks with them!

What a wonderful Wednesday to be at camp! Today at Mater Dei we had a great fun & sun filled day and we can’t wait to see what amazing activities and opportunities the rest of the week brings ☀️

Each group at camp has it’s own unique personality and friendships formed!

It’s our last week of camp here at the Catholic University location! It has been an amazing summer full of great memories and fun. We are soaking up every last moment of this week!

Today we kicked off our last week of camp at Zone A. Although we’re sad our days at camp are quickly coming to a close, we’re making sure we’re making the most out of these final days!

Week 7 has wrapped up with smiles! We can't wait to see everyone on Monday!

Our days left of camp at Zone A are getting shorter and shorter, but that doesn’t mean the fun is!

Adventure awaits at the playground, with smiles at every turn!😁

Living out our Super Six of the week. Our campers love to find fun accessories to express themselves! 😎

Happy 7th week of camp! Our campers will be learning how to master their emotions this week by learning how to express themselves and their emotions!

Happy Monday! The theme of the week is “Emotional Mastery.” The campers will take part in various activities throughout the week that will teach them how to express themselves and their feelings. Even with the gloomy weather this week, our staff is showing up with a smile on their face!

Headfirst is where memories are made. Unforgettable bonds are formed between campers and counselors alike!

Collaboration through the lens of optimism!👏🏻

Happy Friday! We’re kicking off the day in the best way possible with group pictures of our camp families. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the day has in store for our campers!

Optimism wins! Even under cloudy skies, our campers still bring the sunshine🌤️

Happy 6th week of camp! We can’t believe we’re already halfway through camp this summer! This week, our campers will be learning about the importance of “Optimism.” They will learn how to “choose the frame” by looking at life through a positive lens!

With so many things to do at camp, it’s hard to pick just one favorite thing. From splashing around at waterplay, to showing creativity through art, and even to making some long-lasting friendships, it’s always a fun day at camp!

Wrapping up Week 5 at Headfirst Summer Camps with smiles! We hope everyone has a great weekend 😄

Our Sprouting Scientists and Innovators, Inc. campers are working hard to explore their curiosities! DIY lava lamps and homemade slime are steps to creating bigger and better things as we learn about Hope & Goal-Setting at camp!

Take a look: Our Multi-Sport groups utilize games that include logic and teamwork to demonstrate this week's theme: Hope and Goal-Setting!

Things we love to see: happy campers at our Woods Academy location!

Yesterday, as Day Camp groups were practicing setting goals for the week, a camper said his goal was to "make new friends". A handful of campers chimed in and said that was their goal too! Later that day, the group of them could be spotted chasing each other on the playground and splashing together in the pool. 🌊

At Headfirst, this is the kind of relationship we want to foster with our programs: the kind that connects us through what we have in common and what we may not have in common. The kind that leads us to try new things and see a different perspective. The kind that our campers have found time and time again!

Celebrity spotting at The Woods Academy: Gomer, our summer camp mascot!

Headfirst encourages campers to learn teamwork while reaching their goals. In our Multi-Sport program, campers are chosen by their counselor to recognize their hard work and good sportsmanship they show throughout the day!

Happy Monday! We're so excited to kick off our 5th week of camp this week at St. Albans. This week, our campers will be learning about the importance of "Hope and Goal-Setting" in accomplishing their dreams! They will learn how to set and accomplish achievable goals through focus, decision making, and communication.

It's Week 5! We are halfway through the 2024 camp season and have had the privilege to get to know each and every camper. We've seen development through friendship bonds 👫, social skills, and physical skills 🏀. We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer brings!

It's Special Event Friday! This week, our campers are learning about our Super Six skills "Grit & Determination" to help Gomer build a rocket so he can return home. There's no one better to help Gomer than our campers!

When learning about the power of our imagination, we learn to use it when creating art or observing objects close-up!

Happy Fourth of July from Headfirst! We hope you are able to celebrate our nation with loved ones today and this weekend.
