SPORTSWORLD

Denton Bible Church's biggest summer sporting extravaganza! With basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, football, dance, cheer/tumbling and volleyball, there is bound to be a sport for your child to enjoy. Sportsworld is for those who have completed K-5th Grade – minimum of 6 years old.

WHAT IS SPORTSWORLD?

Sportsworld is a safe, exciting and fun environment where your son or daughter can learn and develop essential physical skills as they learn what it means to not be ashamed of the Gospel and to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Mornings are spent at their sports clinics while afternoons are an all out red versus blue exciting game competition. So wear your color and get ready to rumble!

Sportsworld is a missions opportunity for students involved in Student Ministries at Denton Bible Church. The purpose of our camp is to allow our students a chance to minister to kids six-years-old to fifth grade in in the Denton area. We also hire godly coaches to come in and head up each sport for the week. For more information on Denton Bible Student Ministries, please check out the Students page.

Camper Registration and the Waitlist are currently full.

sportsworld Volunteers

Student Volunteers make SportsWorld possible. If you’re in 6th grade, ‘Games Crew’ is the perfect spot. If you’re in 7th-12th grade, Guy/Girl Counselor is where we would love to have you.

FAQs

How much does Sportsworld cost?

A fun-filled week at Sportsworld costs $150 per camper. Payment must be made in full online in order to reserve a camper’s spot.

Can parents come to Sportsworld?

We want you to experience Sportsworld too, so parents and families are invited to join us on the final day where we will have a crazy time of performances, camper awards and goody bags. Not to mention we will announce the winning team!

What does my camper need to bring to Sportsworld each day?

Lunches

Every day your camper will need a sack lunch with his or her name written on it. We HIGHLY recommend a sack instead of a lunch box so they don’t have to keep up with it all day. We are a peanut-free camp, so please do not bring any item with peanuts in it. We will have to dispose of any/all peanut items.

Shoes

Closed-toed athletic shoes are recommended for all campers as we plan to keep them on their toes! We also have a NO CLEATS policy in order to keep campers safe.

Sports Equipment

We have equipment for each sport, so if your camper does not have their own they can certainly use what is provided. However, we do have a limited number of baseball gloves so if you send them with a glove please write their name on it.

Ya-Ya

Sportsworld wouldn’t be Sportsworld without Ya-Ya, so check the date that your camper’s sport will be participating to make sure your camper shows up with a swimsuit and towel. Ya-Ya replaces their sports clinic for the day, so they will not be participating in their sport on their Ya-Ya day.

What does a counselor do?

Counselors are our 7th-12th grade student volunteers. Our staff can’t begin to tell you how proud we are of our counselors. These are students who do an AMAZING job caring for and loving their campers. A counselor’s job is to maintain a safe and fun environment for all the campers. Their biggest task is to become each camper’s number one fan. We want campers to feel loved and accepted by their counselors.

Who are the coaches?

These are men and women we hand select and bring on because of their faith, integrity and expertise in certain sports.

Where does everything take place?

We host the camp at Denton Bible Church. The Student Ministries Center is our headquarters and is where much of the day is spent.

What does security look like?

We hire a safety and security team to watch over the camp and are in contact with our local police department throughout the week. Our building is also secured throughout the entirety of camp.

What about the awards on Friday?

Parents join us on Friday to experience a small dose of Sportsworld, which will include:

  1. Individual awards presented
  2. Each individual sport breaking up for presentations and awards
  3. We will find out which team wins it all! Red or Blue?
