Since our founding in 2003, Kids in the Game has been committed to the belief that every child deserves the chance to be active, explore new passions, and benefit from positive adult mentorship. Over the past 20 years, we've used sports, creative play, and team activities as vehicles for youth development, nurturing a generation of children who are not only physically active but also emotionally intelligent and socially connected.
Our Mission and Impact
At Kids in the Game, our mission is to provide positive experiences and opportunities through sports and creative play. We aim to foster emotional intelligence, connect people from all backgrounds, and help children develop a positive sense of self. Through our core programs, which include school programs (after-school, enrichment, recess, PE, field days), summer camps, and sports clinics, we strive to form impactful, long-term relationships that empower youth and provide a better way to play. Our guiding principle, "Play today, to change tomorrow," underscores our commitment to positively influencing the future of every child we serve.
A Closer Look at Our Programs
Our innovative programming model is designed to cater to diverse interests and developmental needs:
- Sports & Games: We introduce a variety of sports, allowing children to experience everything from basketball to pickleball. These sessions are about more than just learning sports; they’re about building teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship.
- Creative Club: Here, creativity knows no bounds. Children explore various artistic mediums, engaging in projects that enhance their creative thinking and provide a meaningful outlet for self-expression.
- Discover Club: This STEM-focused program encourages curiosity and critical thinking. Kids engage in hands-on experiments and interactive projects that make science and technology exciting and accessible.
- Movement: Our movement classes are a blend of dance, yoga, and music-based games. These activities are designed to promote physical fitness while also emphasizing the importance of mindfulness and joy in movement.
