Headfirst Summer Camps has been the trusted choice for families across Washington, DC, Bethesda, and Northern Virginia for 30 years. With four convenient locations and programs for ages 3–13, Headfirst Summer Camps offers a premium summer experience full of learning, friendship, and fun. Over the years, Summer Camps have expanded from baseball to now include other sport camps, Day Camps, STEM Camp, Sprouting Scientists, and Innovators, Inc.
The Headfirst Companies were born in the fall of 1996 when Brendan Sullivan returned to his native DC after the first of five professional baseball seasons and gave a single baseball lesson at St. Albans School, his alma mater. For 30 years, Headfirst Summer Camps has continued under this leadership, with Brendan Sullivan as the founder of The Headfirst Companies. With the first pitch, his mission was simple then and remains the same today: To inspire the personal best in high potential kids.
The Headfirst Companies also operate Baseball and Softball Honor Roll Camps and Professional Camps offered in partnership with four Major League Baseball teams, one Major League Soccer team, and one National Football League team.
Parent testimonials describe great counselors, flexibility to a child’s needs, and a carpool line for before and after care, as well as flexibility to change camp topics after registration and noticeable skill growth in two weeks. Other parents describe the camp and counselors as phenomenal, note that one child learned the backstroke in less than one week, and say the counselors are caring, kind, and very well organized. Additional feedback highlights daily swimming, photo updates, grouping campers with their friends, and campers not wanting to attend any other camp. Another parent reports that a camper who previously did not like summer camp asked to return after one week at Headfirst and appreciated the communication and photos that kept them up to date on the camper’s day.
