2.4.1 Sports, the internationally recognized, award winning program is taking their well-established summer camp model from right here in Farmington and offering a 6-week sport sampling program for grades K - 6 this winter! Sessions are grouped/cohorted by grade (K-2, 3-4, 5-6) and will be led by amazing 2.4.1 Sports Team Members. Each 75-minute fun-filled session will offer two new sports each week (sample 12 sports over the 6-week program). Each week, the two sports will show a similarity between the two either through fundamental sport skills or team dynamics. All equipment will be provided. Participants should wear sneakers and attire that will allow them to run and play freely.

This past summer, 2-4-1 Sports was recognized as a national leader in delivering safe programming intended to mitigate the risk of contracting COVID-19.

All of our programs are intended to foster a love of play through sports.  We intentionally teach that equipment and space should not be a hindrance to that experience.  At 2-4-1, children will almost immediately be introduced to small-sided games where everyone will be involved and get an opportunity to "learn by doing."  We also have a philosophy that our staff are not just instructors, but participants as well.  Our trained staff play right along aside the campers to help model the love of play and create the disposition to be active for life.

Attendees do not need to bring their own sport equipment.  All materials will be provided.
