• This year we will be adding one more... Arts & Projects! If your camper would like to build things with their hands or create crafts throughout the week, this fun opportunity is available for them!

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.

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

“Ya‑Ya” is short for “Ya‑Ya in the Wa‑Wa”! Which admittedly doesn’t make much sense, but it does mean a day your camper won’t forget. Ya‑Ya is the designated day when each sport takes a break from its regular activities and campers spend the session playing the wettest, wildest water games of the week. Since Ya‑Ya replaces the sports clinic for that day, campers will not participate in their normal sport on their assigned Ya‑Ya day.

Sportsworld wouldn’t be Sportsworld without Ya‑Ya, so be sure to check which day your camper’s sport is scheduled for and send them with a swimsuit and towel!

We want you to experience Sportsworld too, so parents and families are invited to join us on the final day where you will get to experience a bit of what Sportsworld is all about. Not to mention we will announce the winning team!

On Friday, we invite parents to join us at 2:00pm in the Auditorium to experience a small dose of Sportsworld. You’ll view performances by our cheer and dance groups as well as an exhibit of our new category, arts & projects. Not to mention, we will announce the winning team, and everyone leaves with a swag bag!

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

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.

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

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.

COUNSELORS:  Guy and Girl students who have just completed 7th-12th grade who would like to serve as a counselor for the week of Sportsworld.

GAMES CREW:  6th Grade students who would like to serve as a games crew counselor for the week of Sportsworld.

Sportsworld exists as a local missions opportunity for the students of Denton Bible Church grades 6th – 12th to minister to elementary aged kids in our community. Because we desire to be above reproach with the counselors and crew who will be entrusted with the campers during the week of Sportsworld, we have some criteria in place for those counselors and crew members.
