Game on - CP Soccer NYC x Columbia Day Camp 2025

The Game On Adaptive Sports Camp will be a five-day, fun-filled week introducing sports, fitness and wellness to youth ages 7-15 with Cerebral Palsy or similar physical manifestation such as from stroke, or TBI. Participants will engage in a structured program of soccer that will be geared to each camper's needs for fitness and mobility following the Game On guidelines. Camp will include soccer, as well as strength and balance training and wellness (i.e., breathing exercises and yoga). We are able to accommodate ambulatory children with CP (GMFCS level I-III). Independence with personal hygiene and self care (with limited supervision) is required

eligibility requirements

Pending approval, this camp will be offered through a research-based grant which may request further medical information to fulfill grant requirements. Applications would be enhanced by a reference from a teacher, coach, or physician to confirm the participant will succeed in a sports wellness camp. Junior Counselor volunteer positions are available for ages 15-18 year olds who meet or exceed the camper criteria.
