• Ages: 4–12 years old
GrowFit Day Camps was founded in 2010 by Russ Nuffer and uses the GrowFit Curriculum, which was created by educators and built from professionally designed K–8 physical education lesson plans that focus on social and emotional learning. Each day, site managers roll out a mix of nine activities, and in the All-Sports camp every child plays nine unique 30-minute sports and games based on this curriculum. Campers ages 4–12 join age-specific sports groups and are overseen by a dedicated counselor, and after lunch they have 30 to 60 minutes of creative, non-sport projects before returning to active play. GrowFit started as a physical education company with the whole child in mind, and the organization describes its approach as a radically different sports camp that focuses on being kind, trying new things, and supporting others, and considers itself an extension of a family’s village with hiring caring staff as its number one priority.
Managers and coaches have an educational background in child development or extensive experience working with youth and coaching, and both groups complete the highest level background check. Managers are CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, concussion certified through the CDC, trained in bully prevention through the National Alliance for Youth Sports, food handling certified, and epi-pen administration certified, and they complete a three-hour online training with quizzes, comprehensive in-person training, and online and in-person emergency response training. Coaches are concussion certified through the CDC, trained in bully prevention through the National Alliance for Youth Sports, epi-pen administration certified, and also complete a three-hour online training with quizzes, comprehensive in-person training, and online and in-person emergency response training. The staff is trained in child development, social and emotional learning, anti-bullying, and team building, and GrowFit identifies hiring wonderful and caring staff as its top priority.
GrowFit lists concussion certification through the CDC and bully prevention training through the National Alliance for Youth Sports among its credentials. One parent of a high energy 12-year-old son reported that he loved GrowFit and came home tired but happy, and described the staff as welcoming and engaged in making sure kids felt comfortable, safe, and had a good time. Another parent shared that their boys had a blast and were introduced to sports they had never played or heard about and wanted to return. Additional feedback from Redwood City camp families includes comments that a child felt confident trying new things, that the coaches were very encouraging, and that a child could not wait to go back.
