We have ice skating, swimming, miniature golf, air hockey, ping-pong, foosball, and many more exciting games in the gym for the campers to participate in. Campers that are 8 years or older get to go bowling as well. Teams are grouped according to age and birth gender.

Yes, there are certified lifeguards at the pool, and CPR-trained water park staff monitoring campers in the water park.

All 5–7-year-olds stay in the shallow end of the pool (3'-4'). After completing a swim test, 8–9-year-olds may swim in the 4'-5' section of the pool and 10–12-year-olds may swim in the deep end or use the diving board. Campers may bring goggles and arm floaties for use in the shallow end of the pool.

Pool toys (fun floaties, snorkels, fins, etc.) may not be brought to camp. Goggles and arm floaties are welcome.

Ice skating is often a fun, new experience for campers. Until they become comfortable on the ice, we recommend campers hold on to the railing that goes around the ice rink. Those who are not interested in participating may watch while their group skates.

Safety is always our top priority! If there’s lightning in the area, campers will participate in indoor organized activities until the weather clears and outdoor activities can resume. If there’s only a light rain and no lightning in the area, outdoor activities can continue as normal.

Yes. Before camp starts you can call the camp office, and we will set up an appointment to take you on a tour. After camp has begun for the summer, you can come into the Sports Center and ask about the availability of a tour, or you can call the camp office and set up a tour time. The last tour time available each day is 2:30 p.m.

Camp facilities are reserved exclusively for campers during camp weeks. However, if you would like to spend a little more time with your camper, you are welcome to personally drop off and pick up your camper at the Sports Center entrance rather than using our curbside drop-off and pickup option.

Campers use the Pensacola Christian College campus facilities, including the Sports Center, Swim Center, Field House, and dining hall. Campers participate in activities such as swimming, water slides, miniature golf, table tennis, ice skating, and organized sports activities. Most of the day is full of fast-paced, group-based activities. Campers may also bowl and view the planetarium shows. All medications are stored and administered by the camp nurse.

Sports Center Day Camp is not a nut/peanut-free, gluten-free, or dye-free camp. Campers must know what foods they need to avoid. Campers may bring a sack lunch and a snack if they have special dietary needs or do not prefer what is on that day's menu. Check out our camp menu to see the food typically served at camp.

A camp nurse and medical security personnel are available throughout the camp week.

During the registration process, parents may authorize the nurse to administer some basic medication as needed (Benadryl, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Tums, and swimmer’s ear drops).

If a camper is bringing any routine or as-needed prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins/supplements, or essential oils, an Authorization for Administration of Medication form must be submitted.

As soon as possible! The camp nurse cannot keep or administer any medication for campers without a completed Authorization for Administration of Medication form.

The camp nurse has a small refrigerator specifically for storing medication that needs to remain cold.

Please have the camper’s medications in the original containers, place the containers in a clear, resealable bag with the camper’s name clearly noted, and give the medication to the camp nurse (who will be at check-in each Monday morning) or turn in the medication at the camp nurse office the rest of the week.

The Authorization for Administration of Medication form must be submitted to drop off medications at camp.
