Is your child just getting interested in sports or need an activity to burn off some excess energy?  Then the Town of Superior and i9 Sports have a summer camp for you.  The camps will be Monday to Friday, June 17 to 21, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon each day on the Town of Superior sports fields. 

In the camp for boys and girls ages 4 to 7, your child will have fun playing Flag Football, Soccer, T-Ball, Relay Races, and Tag games. This camp will focus on fundamentals while allowing children to gain an interest in sports.  The camp is designed to let children experience different sports and physical activities in a fun learning environment.

The camp for boys and girls ages 8 to 12 will allow your child to have fun playing Basketball, Flag Football, Dodge Ball, Relay Races, and Kickball.  This camp will explore positioning, defense, offense, passing, receiving, and running.  Each level takes the skills taught and applies them on the field during fun drills and scrimmages.  The camp will provide a positive and energetic environment where your child stays active on the field.  They are provided with the very best instruction geared toward improving skills.  

Each day, the camp will highlight a sportsmanship value for the kids to focus on.  The instructors will award sportsmanship medals to each participant based on learning this value.

i9 Sports and the Town of Superior believe that the primary reason children play sports is to have fun.  They love mastering new skills, developing friendships, and healthy competition.  i9 Sports works on developing character, the value of teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship.  Team sports are one of the best ways to help children develop physically and emotionally.  Youth sports develop life skills, promote a healthy lifestyle, and increase self-esteem.  The instructors have an athletic background and experience working with young athletes.

Registration is only $109 and includes camp T-shirt, award, and more.  The deadline is June 12.  For more information, go to www.superiorrec.com or www.i9sports.com (click More Sports and then choose Camps from the dropdown menu), or call 303-462-1520.

CELEBRATE WITH US IN TRUE BACKCOUNTRY STYLE.

Hi Everyone,

So, it seems that Colorado is a very generous state. When it comes to providing free camps for kids with cancer, Colorado is probably in the top 3 out of all the states in the US.

Well, now there one more, Nighthawk Ranch, in Guffey, Colorado. Nighthawk Ranch is opening its doors this summer for its first series of free one-week sessions. The camp accepts kids and teens (10-18) in their final stages of treatment or out of treatment. Nighthawk Ranch provides the typical camp activities (camping, archery, ropes course, etc.), but also offers activities associated with living on a working ranch. There is a very cool horseback riding program, and at the end of the one-week program there may even be a mini-cattle drive.

As the coordinator, I am reaching out to anyone who has an interest in volunteering (18 or older) or to any parent who has a child who would be a good fit for Nighthawk Ranch.

The session dates are as follows:

Sunday, June 24 to Saturday, June 30, (boys)

Sunday, July 15 to Saturday, July 21, (girls)

Sunday, August 5 to Saturday, August 11, (boys)

So, in the spirit of generosity that is so abundant here in Colorado- please contact me if you have any interest in volunteering or applying as a camper.

Many, Many Thanks,

Kim McGinnis

Hi Everyone,

After much preparation and anticipation Nighthawk Ranch has held its first successful summer session and is now in the middle of its second successful summer session. What makes me call it successful? Well, the first session had all but one camper spot filled and had an overflowing amount of volunteers and (most importantly) the campers had a GREAT time.

The second session has one extra camper and even more volunteers to help out - and, yes, these campers are having an equally GREAT time.

After this second session ends (July 21), Nighthawk Ranch has one more session this year - its third session, which runs August 5 - August 11. We are almost at capacity, but we still have room for one or two more campers and one or two more volunteers. This 3rd session is for boys (10-18) who have (or have had) cancer. And, remember, this camp is free to kids and their families that qualify.

And we really need some male volunteers - so time to step up guys. Obviously this is for the kids, but if you speak to any of our volunteers you will know that the volunteers get the same amount of joy (if not more) from the experience than the kids.

Please check out my pictures page to see some pictures of past Nighthawk Ranch sessions, and if you would like more information on how to volunteer or how to fill out an application for a camper, please contact me -

Till next time,
