Help LiFEsports make more camp memories!

LiFEsports utilizes sport “to prepare youth for life and leadership”. LiFEsports aims to serve youth in our surrounding communities through our summer camp experiences, sports clinics and leadership programs. This past summer, the evidence-based impact of our 2024 campus-based pilot program indicated significant results such as improved social and life skills (S.E.T.S - Self-control, Effort, Teamwork & Social Responsibility), increased fundamental motor skills and sport competence, and enhanced fitness and healthy lifestyle behaviors.

While 2024 was a successful year, this year more than ever, LiFEsports needs your help. With changes in program funding, LiFEsports must now rely on our donors' generosity to continue this life-changing mission and goal of helping 100 youth during the summer of 2025.

Your donations help ensure that all youth can participate in our camps, clinics and leadership programs, making new and lasting memories regardless of family income. As we move into planning for our 2025 summer camps, our goal is to continue to grow our impact by offering LiFEsports at no cost to youth and families with the greatest need.

Will you join us in donating to ensure that all youth can participate in LiFEsports regardless of income? Your gift today will help LiFEsports continue to impact our community, one child at a time.

Testimonial from a parent:

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am simply overflowing with gratitude.

Malia had an amazing time at LifeSports camp this summer! Everyday she woke up early on her own and looked forward to seeing her friends and counselors. She came home feeling accomplished and confident. It is clearly evident that her growth mindset and resilience have been further developed as well as her physical strength! I couldn’t ask for more during these critical years of her life.

I am usually a very protective parent, but after meeting you and your staff at the orientation, I knew that Malia would be in the best care. Her positivity about the program and staff affirmed that notion. Not once did she have anything negative to say about camp.

I sincerely believe this program was an answer to my prayers. Thank you for your kindness, care, and support. She is looking forward to the next LifeSports event. We are, too!

Blessings,

Mrs. Moore
