P.A.S.S. Camp

Sports Majors

Through our sports majors, we provide additional instruction in select sports throughout the summer. During sports majors, campers:

  • focus on a specific sport for two hours each morning
  • learn fundamental sport drills and exercises

Baseball/Tee-ball

Depending on their age, campers will play tee-ball or baseball. Either sport is great for teaching depth perception and enjoying one of America's favorite games.

Basketball

Whether dribbling, shooting or passing, basketball majors will experience a variety of activities related to basketball training.

Dance/Cheer

With full-length mirrors, bars and a sound system, our fitness studios are a wonderful environment for our dance/cheer majors. During this major, campers will have the opportunity to learn, choreograph and perform routines.

Flag football

Although DU does not have a football team, our campers will experience throwing and passing footballs and playing this wonderful (non-contact) game.

Ice hockey

If your kids are interested in playing ice hockey, this is the major to select. Learn the basic fundamental skills while having fun on and off the ice. Campers will work on hand-eye coordination and motor and skating skills.

Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a fun, challenging sport built around hand-eye coordination. What better way to learn the sport than on the DU lacrosse turf, specifically built for the game?

Outdoor adventure

When was the last time you climbed up a two-story wall or found your balance on a slack line? Outdoor adventure majors will spend time on the climbing wall as well as working on balance and learning the various terms and knots.

Racquet sports

Campers will learn the rules and skills needed to play multiple racquet sports, including racquetball and squash. Each game has its own twist in learning to work with teammates and outscore opponents.

Soccer

Soccer is a fabulous sport with a key component of teamwork and footwork. Campers will learn drills and play a game where communication is key.

Indoor soccer/Futsal

A different twist on the sport of soccer, this major focuses on speed and footwork. Campers will learn drills and play a game where anticipation and strategy are key.

Tennis

Play tennis on our multiple outdoor courts to learn hand-eye coordination and strength in the various strokes. This is a great sport for all ages.

Ultimate Frisbee

A sport where the spirit of the game is included in the rules, Ultimate Frisbee helps players improve skills in passing, defense and speed.

Volleyball

Bump! Set! Spike! This fun sport emphasizes hand-eye coordination and great communication skills.

Martial arts

Whether you’ve heard of karate or taekwondo, this major will be a variety of different martial arts. It will focus on respect and self-control.

Pioneer sports

The Pioneer sports major is a combination of all P.A.S.S. Camp sports majors with the exception of dance/cheer, martial arts and ice hockey.

Campers who enroll in the Pioneer sports major will participate in two activities during the morning session instead of just one. This major is great for the camper who would like to try a little bit of everything.
