Valley Sports Camp states that it emphasizes fun, teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship while teaching a variety of traditional and “non-traditional” sports games. Each day includes a focus on a different character trait or “Word of the Day,” with chances for kids to discuss and practice these traits with peers and coaches. The program describes a character-building approach that aims to build campers’ self-esteem, help kids feel successful at the end of the day, encourage active and physically fit lives, and build self-esteem through athletics, with strategic team-building activities to support relationships and a sense of belonging. It states that it wants every camper to leave camp with more confidence and a love of sports, and to create an environment where kids will love learning and playing new games and sports, with an emphasis on fun, teamwork, building friendships, and sportsmanship.
The camp notes that it is designed for every level of athleticism and that swimming is available at the San Lorenzo Valley High School location, with Blackberry Farm swimming available at the Monta Vista High School location, and no swimming at the Scotts Valley, Saratoga, and Los Gatos locations.

Parent testimonials describe Valley Sports Camp as a place where kids “loved this camp,” with some children asking to switch from part-day to full day and “begging” to get to camp early. One parent states that Valley Sports Camp is “BY FAR one of his favorite camps every year,” and another calls it “the best summer sports program,” noting a child who has looked forward to camp every summer for four years. Parents mention energetic staff and coaches, character education around sportsmanship, teamwork, and friendship, and note that their children have been repeat campers who “always want to sign up again.”
