GrowFit San Jose Camps runs at an indoor program that includes indoor rock walls, basketball hoops, black light skating, scooters, and a tranquil, digitally simulated aquarium room used as a backdrop for mealtime. Campers rotate through nine distinct 30-minute games each day based on a proprietary K–8 physical education curriculum, and each group is formed with peers of similar ages and guided by a dedicated educator who spends the week with that group. The day ends with a special group session where counselors and peers celebrate each camper’s achievements, and the program offers full credit right up to the day before camp begins if plans change.
GrowFit started in 2010 as a physical education company with a curriculum focused on social and emotional learning and considers itself an extension of families’ village. The mission of GrowFit is to create a guided, safe space where children can learn, grow, and engage in sports and athletics with confidence, with a focus on teamwork, encouragement, and exploration so that campers build skills, discover new passions, and make lasting friendships, and the stated goals include encouraging children to explore the world around them, try new things, build confidence, and challenge themselves. Staff members are trained in child development, anti-bullying, and teambuilding, and every team member undergoes thorough background checks.
Managers at GrowFit San Jose Camps have an educational background in child development or extensive experience working with youth and coaching, complete the highest level background check, and hold certifications in CPR, First Aid, AED, concussion (CDC), bully prevention (National Alliance for Youth Sports), food handling, and Epi-pen administration, along with a three-hour online training with quizzes, comprehensive in-person training, and online and in-person emergency response training. Coaches also have an educational background in child development or extensive experience working with youth and coaching, complete the highest level background check, and are concussion certified through the CDC, trained in bully prevention through the National Alliance for Youth Sports, certified in Epi-pen administration, and complete the same three-hour online training with quizzes, comprehensive in-person training, and online and in-person emergency response training.
The camp’s leadership includes Camp Manager Sara P., and GrowFit was founded in 2010 by Russ Nuffer. Cities served include Alum Rock, Coyote, East Foothills, Evergreen, Gilroy, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, New Almaden, Perry, Robertsville, Rucker, San Jose, San Martin, South Coyote, South San Jose, East San Jose, Valley, Edenvale, and Shores. The San Jose location offers dedicated Science, Art, Inventors, and LEGO camps, and select locations offer dedicated Art, Science, and LEGO camps.
Parent feedback includes comments such as “My child felt confident trying new things,” “The coaches were so encouraging,” and “My child couldn’t wait to go back.” One parent, Margaret M., shared that her high energy 12-year-old son loved the camp and came home with a tired but happy smile, and she described the staff as welcoming and engaged in making sure kids were feeling comfortable, safe, and having a good time. Another parent, Janette C., said her boys had a blast, appreciated that the camp introduced her kids to a few sports they had never played or heard about in a very fun way, and reported that they wanted to come back and do it again soon.
