*Please make sure all items are labeled with your camper’s first and last name. Although campers are welcome to bring their own sports equipment, it is not necessary as we have plenty to accommodate all campers.

While lunches and snacks cannot be refrigerated, they will be stored indoors.

It is also crucial that your campers wear laced or velcro gym shoes to camp. Sandals, flip flops and slip-on shoes (such as crocs) are not permitted unless worn solely in a pool area, during scheduled water activities, or on water-related field trips.  

Absolutely! In fact, it would warm our hearts to learn that the play date is with a new camp friend. However, all individuals picking up your camper MUST be listed on the authorized pickup list.

To add someone to your camper’s authorized pickup list, please email:

📧 camps@gameonsports4girlsboise.com

For safety reasons, your camper will not be permitted to leave camp with anyone not listed, even if they provide a valid ID.

You bet! Keep a lookout for information about our end-of-camp ceremonies, which give Boise and Treasure Valley families the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their campers participating in activities typical of a Game On! day.

We also welcome families to visit camp during the summer. Our only request is that you call our Boise office at least a couple of days in advance to ensure the camp schedule for that day does not include special activities, field trips, or events that might interfere with observing your camper in action.

📞 (208)477 1523

So sorry, but we can only guarantee one. Safety and first-class care are our main priorities and only maintained with strict attention to coach/camper ratios. But rest assured that if your campers are not with ALL requested  friends, they will be with at least one AND part of a team environment that will encourage making new, life-long friends and teammates.

All medications must be maintained and administered by our Game On! Trainer or qualified staff.

Exception: Your camper may be authorized to carry a second EpiPen and/or inhaler.

If you are bringing medication(s) to camp, please:

• Place in a resealable storage bag with your camper’s name
• Include a photo of your camper and instructions for administration in the bag

• Make sure it is delivered directly  to a member of the Game On! Staff

ALL MEDICATIONS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A DOCTOR’S NOTE OR PRESCRIPTION.

Our active fun and learning will simply move safely indoors to our gyms and other open areas. Rest assured, they are not sitting around waiting for the conditions to abate.

When your camper arrives home that day and raves about their typical sports-crazy day, you will undoubtedly wonder how it’s possible given the summer heat. At Game On! we have mastered the art of staying cool: Of course, we are very careful to make sure the campers stay well hydrated, encouraging them to drink regularly from their water bottles which are refillable from our accessible and abundant jugs around camp.

On top of that,we have perfected the incorporation of water fun into the day. Picture this: sprinklers on the field with campers running in and out in between innings or during time outs; sopping wet athletes learning, actively engaged, and having fun; campers galore playing sports impervious to the 100-degree reading on the thermometer. Slip & Slides on the softball fields – skill of the day is learning how to slide properly!!!!!! No wonder campers flock to the softball fields when given the choice that afternoon! 

AND, JUST AS IMPORTANT, our campsites offer cooler indoor space, so we can move our sports play inside if conditions warrant.

Note that staff will very carefully monitor campers during extreme heat days to assure their health and welfare.

Depending on the campsite, we may have a certified professional trainer on site at all times who will be there to administer first aid, call home when necessary, and/or determine if more complete medical attention is warranted. Otherwise all directors and most coaches are first aid and CPR certified.

Yes! Campers tend to work up an appetite during their sports-filled day. Please send 1-2 hearty snacks to camp. Snacks should be nut-free and carried in a resealable container or baggie.

We have a designated snack time during camp and highly recommend packing snacks that are separate from their lunch. Campers need the fuel!

Some of our camp locations do offer the option to purchase a balanced, healthy, kid-friendly lunch for your camper. If this option is available, you will be able to add it on for an additional fee during the camp registration process or even after should you change your mind.

Yes, it is important to offer healthy, kid-friendly food. We encourage our campers to eat a balanced meal. Our meals typically include an entrée, starch, fruit and veggie.

No matter which weeks your campers attend, she will play most of our core sports and then some. Specifically, most mornings, your camper may rotate through three or four of our eight core sports which might include soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis and pickleball (facility dependent), lacrosse, softball and field hockey. By the end of each week, your campers will have really learned and progressed in the core sports of the week, earning the coveted fun of Game Day Fridays.

Afternoons during each week may involve our Healthier4Me creative project and discussion, additional exposure to our core sports, and an optional activity which offers your camper or her team different division-based options from which to choose. Here the list grows to possibly include sports such as yoga, karate, golf, flag football, ultimate frisbee, rugby, badminton, floor hockey, fitness, track & field, and dance/cheer. But don’t rule out an afternoon time devoted to all camp games such as Capture the Flag or Dodgeball, water wars, slip and slide, and carnival.

Note that no two weeks of camp are alike. Thrown into the mix are dress up or empowerment days, team projects, special guests and silly stuff. You should definitely also leave room for a bunch of surprises, not to mention our spontaneous dance parties.

At Game On!, we pride ourselves on being a sports camp that incorporates and cherishes a traditional camp culture. And wow, do we get creative!!!!!

How does Game On!’s Got Talent sound? Our talent show is most definitely one of the most treasured days of the summer.

The fun, creative list goes on: Team banner painting; tie-dye days; team skit, cheer, dress-up days and handshake contests; lanyard-making; watermelon eating competition: girlstrong chalk talk…

Summer to summer, depending on your camp location, campers may also enjoy Carnival Day, beach days, and ice skating – EXPERIENCE SUMMER FUN LIKE YOU’VE NEVER IMAGINED – active, creative and motivational days like no other camp out there!

We are not a “competitive camp,” though we offer ample opportunity for our athletes to experience healthy competition. The bottom line is that skill-building, sportsmanship, team spirit, and teamwork score just as many points in the tally as a win.. During the afternoons, our campers often have a menu of choices that include competitive sports, advanced skill work, wacky fun such as backward softball, or the new and different such as yoga, karate, ultimate Frisbee, team handball, spikeball, etc. We work hard to strike a balance that accommodates all. 

Game On! is NOT about the pressure to win. Rather healthy competition and challenge are balanced by the chance to frolic and play just for the fun of it. We all understand that competition is a part of life – girls need to be prepared to face life’s challenges. So, we have mastered the programming that fosters such growth without the intensity and “win at all costs” environment.

Throughout the summer, depending upon your camp location, we may offer your camper (ages 6 and up) the chance to visit a respected stable for a basic/beginner riding experience. For an extra fee, our riding partners provide your camper a one-time per camp season opportunity for instruction during a group ride combined with a lesson in horsemanship. The instruction typically involves hunter seat riding.

Knowing how to safely care for horses is just as important as knowing how to ride. On this field trip, campers will have a fun, safe, hands-on opportunity to learn and engage in all facets of horsemanship.  Participants will receive top-notch hunter seat riding instruction from staff.  They will also experience horse health care, grooming, tacking, nutrition, and learn about safety and horse behavior. Note that this field trip is not designed for riders with experience. 

For campsites where horseback riding is offered, once registered, campers will need to bring us a completed waiver and pay in full in order to participate. NOTE THAT REGISTRATION IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS AND FILLS UP VERY QUICKLY. EACH CAMPER CAN SIGN UP FOR ONE RIDING FIELD TRIP PER CAMP SEASON.

Our Game On! programming is like no other!

Designed for our oldest campers, the Sports Leadership program offers a curriculum that is designed to promote growth as a leader on the sports fields and off. 

Campers will play & learn multiple sports daily while also incorporating lessons relating to traits that define an effective leader like:

• Communication
• Setting Goals
• Collaboration
• Problem Solving
• Decision making
• and much more!

Plus direct experience working with younger kids!

BONUS – fun camp traditions like water wars, theme days, spirit competitions & more!

NEW FOR THIS SUMMER: Practice journaling plus exposure to professional female role models in the form of field trips or in-camp clinics/discussions.

Your travel athlete WILL be challenged, and our coaches are trained to motivate your campers to advance their skills. Not only might  they have the opportunity to participate in advanced and competitive optionals (and depending on the camp site private or small group lessons), but they will have the chance to challenge themselves in their sport during Game Day Fridays as well. In essence, the Game On! program inspires growth and improvement for every level athlete in all the sports we offer.

Yes. The program is designed so that campers will have the opportunity to play more sports than you can imagine on a daily basis. Aside from the instruction your camper will receive, she will be exposed to the traditional and non-traditional, with creative and fun twists that make Game On! so unique. For specifics, check out the “Sports We Play” page.

Game On! will provide the perfect environment for your campers to explore while having a blast. Whether their experience ultimately heightens  confidence and interest in a certain sport, or they stay active for the pure joy, your campers  will thrive.

While Game On! does offer specialty camps and lessons in certain sports at some of our campsites for our older campers (subject to expansion and based on demand), a summer at Game On! is all about exposure and growth in multiple sports. 

For our younger campers, our program offers the chance to experience variety and develop the confidence they need to determine where their more specific interests may lie.

For our older campers, we subscribe to the theory that after an intense and competitive school year, they may need to lay back and have some fun enjoying other sports. In addition, analogous to the benefits said to accrue from cross training, research shows that participation in other sports may very well lead to improvement in the core areas of their specialties. (i.e. the footwork and reflex work demanded in tennis will most definitely lead to increased quickness in other sports.)

Teaching life skills and enforcing sound values along with learning to make smart choices pervade every aspect of camp. Not a minute goes by without attention to building solid character as we incorporate values such as good sportsmanship, teamwork, spirit, effort, leadership, perseverance, courage, etc. into each and every day. Even our team incentive program awards significant points for these values.

Given that teams are working toward awards, our campers come to understand our emphasis on character very quickly. Moreover, we encourage daily shout outs that recognize model behavior and may go to the extent of awarding individual ribbons for effort, courage, team contribution, GirlStrong, leadership, and sportsmanship if a camper is exhibiting behavior that goes above and beyond. Even better, we create an environment where campers learn to feel GOOD INSIDE about demonstrating these positive values and making progress – it’s not all about the points or awards!

While campers are motivated to EARN the awards described below, note that out of all the rewards we offer, our biggest emphasis is on the reward of personal progress/advancement and the pride that goes with. We make a BIG DEAL out of the slightest bit of progress, helping campers to learn and feel deep down that heart-thumping sense of pride. We hope in the end that this feeling of accomplishment outweighs any award they earn.

Game Day Friday

• All week long, campers will be working on a variety of skills in each sport, and Friday is the day they finally get to put them all together and play! Ribbons will be awarded to first and second place teams. (Note that the teams are changed up per sport so that the same combination of players are not playing each other all day long.) Trophies or medals will be awarded for campers who truly stand out when it comes to Heart & Hustle, Most Improved (observed all week long) and Most Valuable Player (Observed all week long)

Character Ribbons

• Awards for behavior and attitude that go above & beyond (sportsmanship, special achievement, effort, GirlStrong, outstanding teammate, leadership and courage)
• A ribbon will be awarded for our Sports Leader of the week

Or link to website page with the slides or video

Campers of the Week (our famous COW awards) 

• Award for all-around attitude/behavior that goes above and beyond & serves as a model for all to follow
• Presented weekly on Fridays in front of the entire camp
• COWs receive a special Game On! Shirt signed by all of the coaches on the back as well as a coupon to a local restaurant
• And yes, we Mooooooooooo!!!

Team Points

• Teams will earn points in categories that include teamwork, team spirit, team sportsmanship, and team efforts that go above and beyond both on and off the field.

Great question. EVERY CAMPER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN AWARDS AT GAME ON! And we make sure all our Game On! campers know just what it takes. The fact that some earn more or different awards than others is true to life. Most important is that all are well informed and have equal opportunity, not to mention the fact that integrated into this system is teaching campers to set and work toward goals while practicing good sportsmanship like respecting and congratulating their teammates.

Because our facilities are typically schools without pools, we are constantly in search of nearby swimming pools which at a minimum can offer times for free swim and at best might also include the opportunity for instructional classes. Please see your camp location page for details.

Our Game On! Scholarship Fund through the Taylor LEAD Foundation’s IX Grants – Camp Scholarship program, was created in response to the overwhelming demand and need for assistance to remove financial barrier for kids both interested in and deserving of participation in Game On! camps and programming. The Taylor LEAD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) so, if you choose to donate to our scholarship fund, you can rest assured that 100% of your donation will go toward scholarships or our funding of Game On! programming for select partner organizations.”
