Families across the Southwest USA can now sign up for the highly anticipated Highland community multi sport youth camp, as camp registration officially opens this week. The week-long youth sports camp, targeted to students from kindergarten through sixth grade, seeks to expand athletic opportunities and nurture leadership skills among area youth.

Summer Camp Returns to Highland High School Gym

The multi sport youth camp will be held at the Highland High School gym from June 29 to July 3. Running daily from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the camp is designed to immerse young participants in a range of activities, providing both structured guidance and energetic fun throughout the day.

Accessible Sports Registration for Local Youth

This year’s program is notable for its commitment to accessibility. Children who reside in the Highland community or attend nearby feeder schools can join the free youth camp at no cost, helping to remove barriers to participation for families who might otherwise struggle with sports registration fees. Students from outside the area can participate for a set fee of $120. Organizers encourage early camp registration to secure a spot, given the program’s popularity.

Variety of Sports Opportunities and Meals Included

Participants will have the chance to explore a diverse array of sports opportunities, broadening experiences beyond just popular programs like football. Each day, youth will rotate between activities designed to build teamwork, coordination, and a lifelong appreciation for active living. The camp also includes daily breakfast, lunch, and a complimentary camp T-shirt for every child, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Highland Student Athletes Step Into Leadership Roles

A central highlight of the camp is its emphasis on sports leadership among high school student athletes from Highland. These students serve as coaches and mentors during camp sessions, guiding younger children through drills, group games, and skills workshops. Organizers believe this approach not only benefits the elementary-aged campers, but also provides valuable personal growth and leadership development experiences for the older students.

Strengthening Community Connections Through Athletics

Building a sense of local pride, the camp draws on the support of the greater Highland community and local schools. Community leaders hope the camp will encourage ongoing involvement in youth sports and foster connections that last well beyond summer camp. Volunteers and families alike work to create an atmosphere that promotes teamwork, encouragement, and positive personal development.

Registration Details and Contact Information

To inquire about registration, support opportunities, or additional information, families are encouraged to contact Coach Phillip Lovato, Jr. As the coordinator, Coach Lovato serves as a resource for parents interested in camp registration and for those seeking to assist with this season’s program. Advanced registration is highly recommended given previous years’ demand and limited availability.

As the summer approaches, the Highland multi sport youth camp is poised to make a meaningful impact on children throughout the Southwest USA—encouraging healthy habits, lifelong skills, and new friendships on and off the field.
