Camp of Champions

Camp of Champions A & M’s incentive and rewards programs have inspired youth throughout the Coachella Valley since 2008. Featuring academic, athletic, and STEM programs, Camp of Champions’ vision to inspire and equip youth to excel academically and physically, while developing key life skills has been unwavering. Through partnerships with local school districts and youth-serving charities, Camp of Champions offers opportunities for academic enrichment, career preparedness, and healthy goal setting.

Camp of Champions features powerful programs of incentives and rewards. One of the exciting programs offered to educators is the Soccer Ball Giveaway. Educators select a goal for their students, usually focused on reaching academic benchmarks, improving attendance, or developing good character. A timeline is set to meet the goal. Each student who attains the goal receives a custom-designed soccer ball. This effective program culminates with an official ceremony during which each student’s achievement is celebrated through the gift of a soccer ball. It is a tremendously heartfelt experience to watch the faces of the students as they are highlighted and rewarded for their efforts and success.

One of the most dynamic programs, more recent to Camp of Champions, involves drones. Camp of Champions has partnered with FIDA USA and Hollywood Drones to bring drone-based technology to students as young as kindergarten. With the introduction of the exciting sport of drone soccer; the development of Drone Career Boot Camps, and the famed offering of Star Wars-themed stunt and cinematography training camps, thousands of students are being introduced to the myriad of applications and opportunities of drone piloting and technology. Through generous donations and grants, Camp of Champions can provide drone soccer programs to organizations without the funds to host such an event. These engaging drone events expose students and families to fun and excitement while increasing awareness of the remarkable opportunities in drone technology.

It is with gratitude that Camp of Champions receives the support of the Anderson Children’s Foundation, an organization truly committed to ensuring bright futures for the youth of the Coachella Valley.

Camp of Champions serves school-aged youth within the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities. At the heart of the mission of Camp of Champions is the desire to encourage youth to establish and attain healthy goals, to engage in activity and athletics, and to encourage key core values in youth. It is the goal of Camp of Champions to encourage students to improve their school attendance, grades, and academic acumen; improve their health through physical activity; and realize life skills such as accountability, responsibility, and perseverance.

The Camp of Champions program works on three levels:

1. It incentivizes the improved behavior and academic performance of students;
2. It assists educators to keep students in class and on track to meet their scholastic goals; and
3. It creates opportunities for physical engagement for elementary to high school-aged youth.

Camp of Champions meets these objectives through its school-based and community-based programs. Since 2008, Camp of Champions has worked in partnership with educators by providing elementary and middle schools a powerful and free program of incentive and reward. Camp of Champions’ community-based initiatives include soccer ball distributions, sports combine clinics, summer youth camps, as well as partnership with local charities that serve disabled children, promoting activity in this very special sector of youth. Camp of Champions is dedicated to ensuring that today’s youth become tomorrow’s champions.
