We’re excited to introduce four new Specialty Camp weeks designed for campers who want to spend more time on what they love. These programs offer a deeper focus on skill development, confidence building, and making new friendships in a fun, supportive environment.

Designed for children ages 8–12, each Specialty Camp runs in small groups and is led by qualified instructors to provide more individualized attention and hands-on learning. Full-week registration is required so campers can get the most out of the experience.

Each morning (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM), campers take part in their selected specialty program, focusing on skill-building and guided instruction. In the afternoons, they join our Day Camp program for swimming, group games, and classic camp activities at NFFRC.

Inspired by the excitement of the game at every level, campers will take part in skill challenges, team competitions, and game-style play that keeps things fun, active, and engaging all week long.

Whether they’re learning the basics or sharpening their skills, this week is all about confidence, teamwork, and loving the game.
