LivSports Summer Camp
July 27 - 31
August 3 - 7
What to expect at a LivSports Camp
The LivSports Youth Camp is an uplifting environment where athletes of all abilities grow both on and off the ice or field. Whether you are a beginner or travel club player, campers will receive age-appropriate instruction focused on fundamentals, skill development, and game understanding. Instruction is led by positive, experienced coaches who are passionate about the game. Campers should have foundational skating abilities.
Additionally, the LivSports Champion’s Curriculum emphasizes compassion, confidence, and teamwork. We create a fun, safe atmosphere where players are encouraged to work hard, support one another, and enjoy the game, all while learning life lessons that extend far beyond their sport.
Athletes are given the chance to use the lessons they learn to help accomplish the mission of LivFree, a pediatric cancer nonprofit that provides moments of joy to kids and families in the childhood cancer community. All this to prove the power of sport and the strength of using passion as a platform for good.

Camp Schedule
A typical day at camp is fast-paced and balances skill development drills, scrimmages, game situations, and mini games focused on having fun and building camaraderie amongst campers. The camp day begins at 8 AM and concludes at 12 PM. Embedded in the camp day will also be messaging about LivFree and their mission. Campers will hear stories about kids and families that LivFree has helped, so they can better understand the impact their participation and fundraising provide.
-
Age Groups & Ability
Camps are open to players of all abilities. Our instructors will meet players where they are and adjust instruction so it is safe and age-appropriate. Campers are typically split into three groups: Ages 6-8, Ages 9-10, and Ages 11-12. If a player demonstrates the ability or desire to join another group, our staff will place players where they will get the most out of the experience.
-
Coaches & Counselors
LivSports prides itself on hiring passionate, knowledgeable coaches who embody the traits we preach through our Champion’s Curriculum. Our coaches are empathetic and compassionate, and are committed to building the confidence of our campers while enhancing their hockey knowledge. Our coaches have a wide array of coaching and playing experience, and campers will cycle through different coaches each day, getting to learn and build relationships with our whole staff. Coaches are assisted by energetic high school players and counselors in training.
-
Facilities & Weather
Camp locations and facilities vary based on sport. Currently our Hockey Camp is held at Wonderland of Ice and Baseball Camp is at North End Little League, both in Bridgeport, CT. We aim to hold camp rain or shine, but severe weather may impact schedules. If you are interested in LivSports holding a camp in your region or at your sport facilities, please contact us at LivSports@LivFreeToday.org.

Coaches in Training
Our camps welcome aspiring counselors who would like to volunteer their time to be a Counselor in Training. CIT’s will work alongside our head coaches and be given autonomy to organize games or drills that can enhance their leadership qualities. CIT’s must be at least 13 years of age and have a background playing the sport.

Sample Schedule
Schedules vary by sport but are designed to be fast paced, include a variety of drills and team building activities and competition. For more detailed schedules, visit our sport specific camp pages.
Pricing & Fundraising
Camp pricing includes both a per camper registration charge and an expected fundraising goal. We work to keep the camp fee minimal and affordable for all players. There is financial assistance and scholarships available on an as needed basis and you can inquire at LivSports@LivFreeToday.org.
As part of every LivSports initiative, campers are also expected to give back by participating in fundraising that supports children fighting pediatric cancer through LivFree’s Moments of Joy. We will work to motivate and support individual fundraising prior to, during and after camp.
How We Support You
We know fundraising can feel daunting, but you’re not alone. Our team provides:
A personalized fundraising page you can customize and shareable links
Tips, tricks, and encouragement throughout the months leading up to the game
Our past campers consistently share that, with a little effort and a lot of heart, reaching their goal is achievable — and incredibly rewarding.
The Impact
When campers hit the fields, they’re not just playing for fun or competition — they’re playing for families who are fighting the toughest battle imaginable.
They’re fundraising efforts and the community we build at LivSports camps, help provide:
Moments of Joy for children facing pediatric cancer
Memories of hope for families who need a lift
Connection and meaning for every player who chooses to make a difference
This is more than a week of camp.
It’s building character and community.
It’s recognizing the power of joy.
It’s what LivFree is all about.
