Iowa State Recreation Services Youth Camps are designed for participants aged 7-12 wanting to discover new sports, be active, and have fun! Age group registration is determined by participants age at the start of the week, for example if participant is turning 10 at the start of week 3, please sign them up for ages 10-12 for weeks 3-7, and ages 7-9 for weeks 1 and 2. Groups are co-ed and broken out by age at the start of the week. Basic instruction in various sports and activities are given at State Gym, Beyer Hall, or outdoor locations on-campus (these camps are not associated with Iowa State Athletics). Each week is Monday – Friday from 7:45am to 4pm. Registration is week to week (please add each week you would like to sign your dependent up for to your cart before checkout).

Safety:

Keeping each participant safe is our top priority. Parents/guardians will be immediately notified in case of serious accidents/incidents. For all accidents/incidents, the Youth Camp Supervisor will document the situation to discuss with the parent/guardian upon pick-up. Please note that our camp staff will not be allowed to administer medication to campers. Should a participant require medication during camp, a note should be provided to the supervisor at drop-off. Participants will be responsible for keeping and taking their own medication with oversight from camp staff. Occasionally, treats/candy may be given as awards for displaying camp values. To help ensure the safety of our participants, please remind us if your child has any food allergies.
