Each day, site managers select a changing mix of nine activities from the program’s offerings.
• Ages: 4–12 years old
• Schedule: Camp days run from 9 AM to 4 PM, with late drop-offs and early pickups welcome.
GrowFit Day Camps was founded in 2010 by Russ Nuffer and began as a physical education company with a curriculum focused on social and emotional learning. The program states that it brings the magic of summer camp to life for children everywhere and emphasizes teamwork, encouragement, and exploration in sports and athletics. GrowFit describes its goals as encouraging children to explore the world around them, try new things, build confidence, and challenge themselves, and describes itself as an extension of families and part of their village.
GrowFit Day Camps operates at five Bay Area sites in Redwood City, San Ramon, San Jose, Walnut Creek, and Berkeley. In select locations, the program offers dedicated Art, Science, and LEGO camps, as well as Inventors Camp challenges and Engineering Adventures. Dedicated Soccer Camp is offered at the San Ramon site, and dedicated Science, Art, Inventors, and LEGO camps are offered at the San Jose, Walnut Creek, and Berkeley sites. At the San Jose camp inside The Plex, campers have access to indoor rock walls, black light skating, scooters, and a digital aquarium backdrop during lunch. At the Redwood City SportsHouse location, meals from Kicks Grill are provided at lunchtime.
Managers at GrowFit Day Camps have an educational background in child development or extensive experience working with youth and coaching, complete the highest level background check, and hold CPR, First Aid, AED, concussion (CDC), bully prevention (National Alliance for Youth Sports), food handling, and Epi-pen administration certifications, along with online and in-person emergency response training and a three-hour online training with quizzes. Coaches have an educational background in child development or extensive experience working with youth and coaching, complete the highest level background check, and hold concussion (CDC), bully prevention (National Alliance for Youth Sports), and Epi-pen administration certifications, as well as online and in-person emergency response training and a three-hour online training with quizzes. Staff training includes child development, anti-bullying, and team-building.
The program offers full credit up until the day before camp begins if a child is unable to attend. Parent reviewers describe their children enjoying GrowFit Day Camps, noting experiences such as making new friends, having fun with a variety of activities, and wanting to return. Several parents mention positive interactions with specific coaches and counselors, describe staff as welcoming and engaged, and report that their children attended across multiple seasons or years. One parent notes the ability to sign up by the day or by the week, including same-day registration, and describes this as convenient.
