Chagrin Falls Community Education announced an exciting expansion of their summer programming with the addition of a new all-day sports camp at Gurney Elementary School, part of a robust lineup of activities running June 7 through August 8, 2025.
The new Jumpstart Sports Summer Camp, operating June 9 through August 1, will offer age-appropriate programs for children from preschool through sixth grade. Previously housed at the Golf Dome, Jumpstart Sports had been seeking a new location in the area and found an ideal partner in Chagrin Falls Community Education.
The Jumpstart program features two separate camps: a morning preschool sports camp for children ages 3.5 to 6 years, running from 9:30 a.m. to noon, and a full-day camp for students entering grades 1-6, operating from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Extended care options are available from 7:30 a.m. and until 5:30 p.m. Additionally, the program offers leadership opportunities for 7th and 8th graders.
Both camps emphasize a creative curriculum with weekly themes, multi-sport activities, and a "safety first" approach delivered by engaging staff members.
The new Jumpstart program joins a wide range of returning favorites, including sports camps led by Chagrin High School staff and assisted by high school students. These include cheerleading, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, volleyball, and wrestling.
For students with interests beyond athletics, options include Band Camp Jr., chess, creative crafts, etiquette and international dining experiences, financial literacy, gardening, cooking, musical theater, Snapology Lego®, stage combat, and yoga with mindfulness. Older students can also take advantage of SAT/ACT test preparation and driver's education courses offered both online and in-person.
All Chagrin Valley summer camps are open to everyone, regardless of where they live or attend school. Information and registration are available at the Chagrin Falls Community Education website: tinyurl.com/CFCEHome.
