Sports are a national pastime. That is an understatement. From the earliest moments we put our kiddos into a sport in the hopes of better coordination, learning to be part of a team, staying fit and healthy and making new friends. There is nothing like a team of like-minded individuals and their parents to support your village.  From that mentality springs individual sports, the need to practice and do better, and to have fun with it as well in a fun setting. So we picked a few of our favorites for just that, from ages 5 to 50 take a look at our Top Picks for the Sporty Camper! No experience necessary.
