FAQ’s
Q: What are the ages for Camp Strength? A: We have one camp for kids 6-9 years old and another for kids 10-13. A little leeway by a few months on either end is ok.
Q: I have two children whose ages put them into different camps. Can they both go into the same one? A: Unfortunately, no. The camps are divided into developmentally appropriate age groups. And while your younger child might be advanced or older child protective, we have to think of the group as a whole.
Q: Do parents have to stay for the duration of each camp? A: Only if you want to. You’re welcome to stay, but you can also drop your child off, enjoy some alone time and come back at dismissal.
Q: Can I sign up for future camps all at the same time? A: Yes. As long as there’s availability, you can sign up for however many dates as you’d like.
Q: What times are drop off and pick up? A: Little Pine (6-9 yo) is 9am start and 10:30am pickup. Red Oak (10-13 yo) is 11am start and 12:30pm pickup. We start and end on time.
Q: What should my child bring to each camp? A: One small bag with the following: water, towel, sunscreen, a small healthy snack and any other essentials your child would require over the hour and a half. *** SODA OF ANY TYPE IS NOT ALLOWED AT CAMP STRENGTH
Q: Who leads each camp? A: Our founder Coach Adam Rosante leads every camp.
Q: What types of exercises will you do? A: We play games that require the child to perform fundamental human movement patterns - run, skip, hop, jump, crawl, lunge, push, pull, rotate, resist and throw. We “hide” these movements in games in order to keep your child’s focus on the most important part- having fun! It’s like burying broccoli in chocolate.
Q: What if my child has an injury or is differently abled? A: We can accommodate everyone. Please contact us to discuss your child’s particular needs before enrolling.
Q: Is this a weight loss camp? A: No. The goal is to get children moving and feeling better in their bodies and minds. The topic of weight loss or gain is not addressed in camp.
Q: Will this make my child faster? A: Maybe. This is not a designated speed camp, but the outcome of our process is improved fitness. When a child improves balance, coordination and overall relative strength, speed gains are often seen.
Q: My child plays hockey. Will this help with that specific sport? A: Yes. Our approach to youth fitness and performance is unique and distinct. We understand the science-backed needs of children as they develop physically and mentally. We don’t specialize in any one particular sport and believe that specialization at this age is a huge mistake.
Q: Why do you only take 10 kids? A: This is a COVID-19 compliant mandate from the state.
Q: Do you sanitize the equipment before and after every camp? A: Yes, we sanitize everything thoroughly and have sanitizer for little hands.
Q: Do you offer private training for kids and adults? A: Yes. Our founder takes on a small number of clients throughout the summer and year that he sees in his private training facility in Amagansett and remotely around the world. For more info, email hello@adamrosante.com.
Q: Can we celebrate my child’s birthday during camp? A: Yes, we can sing happy birthday and enjoy a small handheld treat at the end of camp. You’ll need to provide enough of the treat for each camper.
