About Camp
At 2-4-1 Suffield in Summer 2021, we are excited to expose your children to the state-of-the-art facility at beautiful Suffield High School - complete with turf and grass fields, tennis courts, and an air conditioned indoor gymnasium. All campers will get to sample multiple sports. We expect to send out a GoogleForm as camp draws near allowing those registered campers going into Grades 3-9 to choose from the following fun-filled sport choices (subject to change):
Baseball, Basketball, Flag Football, Field Hockey/Girls Lax Combo, Soccer, Tennis and Universal Sports.
If we are able to run camp in our traditional model, when campers arrive on Day 1 - they will receive a name tag showing the order of their sports based on their choices. If we are asked to follow a cohort model (like last summer due to COVID guidelines), campers will travel with their groups and get exposed to all of our sport choices (including some not listed here).
For more on how we delivered camp last summer in most areas, scroll to bottom of this page.
Those campers going into Grades 1 and 2 will follow their own format. See description for Junior 2-4-1 below.

Junior 2•4•1
For boys and girls going into grades 1 and 2 (fall of 2021)
While the times and dates of Junior 2•4•1 are the same as our traditional camp, the programming itself is age-appropriately different. In keeping in line with the “2•4•1 Crossover Effect” – we see it as so important that these youngest athletes crossover to our traditional program having had the most positive of experiences. With that in mind – our staff focuses on infusing skill instruction into serious fun! We want their first introduction to multiple-sports to be one where they leave asking for more! Junior campers don’t choose sports - we bring the sports to them!

The following are our COVID Specific Protocols/Changes/Modifications for Summer 2020 - We will update these for summer 2021 as camp draws more near based on then current requirements.
Please note that additional specific details will be emailed as camp draws closer, but the following are large changes for you to be aware of:
As camp will be held primarily outdoors, we have moved the hours of camp to 8AM-2 PM
Campers will be assigned to cohorts of 10-14 children and spend camp that week with their cohort (campers can request a friend to be with).
If the forecast indicates dangerous weather for that day, we will cancel and the Saturday of that week will be a makeup. If we must cancel 2 days, a prorated credit will be made available for a future program.
While staff will be required to have mask available at all times, campers are not required unless going indoors (which is why we are not allowing the cohorts to co-mingle).
As we work to make camp as fun and as safe as possible, for a detailed rationale of these and other changes that 2-4-1 is considering at all of our programs, please read this post from earlier this summer.
