Help Your Child Excel in Athletics and Life at Midwest Sports Academy's Summer Day Camps
Children of all skill levels will enjoy a one-of-a-kind day camp experience this summer at the Midwest Sports Academy’s Fun Education Sports Camps (FESC).
Hosted at The Einstein Academy in Elgin, FESC provides top-notch instruction for kids ages 5 to 11 from an experienced coaching staff led by long-time area coach Jim Cook. Children learn key skills and concepts in a variety of traditional and non-traditional sports, including basketball, soccer, t-ball, flag football, volleyball, track and field and ultimate Frisbee.

The feature that distinguishes FESC from other sports day camps is a strong emphasis on character development. In addition to expert sports instruction, the academy’s day camps instill kids with the values of self-esteem, teamwork, commitment, sportsmanship, work ethic and dedication to physical fitness, the essential elements for success in sports and in life. FESC teaches these lessons in a friendly, encouraging environment through sports and games that make learning fun and memorable and help children make friends while being active.
