Level up your outdoor Summer Camp experience with Elevate Ultimate Summer Camps. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, fun, and teamwork-focused sport for your child, you have to give Ultimate Frisbee a chance! If you haven’t heard of Ultimate Frisbee, it is the sport that is becoming incredibly popular due to its focus on teamwork, skill development, and sportsmanship. Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport that mixes aspects of football, basketball, and rugby. But rather than playing with a ball, the participants use a flying disc (aka Frisbee).

One of the most interesting aspects of Ultimate Frisbee is that it is a self-refereeing sport. That means the participants are fully in charge of ensuring they adhere to the rules of the game. If you’ve ever played games with kids, you might wonder how a self-refereeing game can be successful with child participants. However, you might be surprised! Because each participant is acting as a referee, everyone is responsible for calling fouls appropriately and resolving conflict throughout the game. Even tournament games are self-refereed! For children, the skills developed by refereeing their own games are the same skills that are necessary to be successful in their academics, in peer groups, and in life in general. In learning the game of Ultimate Frisbee, participants are also learning how to stay present and alert during a game, how to listen to their teammates, how to speak calmly and respectfully when a foul needs to be called, and conflict resolution. Fair play and FUN are paramount in Elevate Ultimate Summer Camps, and the experienced coaches help kids learn the skills needed to be successful in the sport and in life.
