Activities
- Trampoline: Campers of all ages will enjoy a huge 16-pad indoor trampoline with angled walls to jump, bounce, or play dodgeball in!
- Gaga Ball: Gaga is a fast-paced, high-energy sport. A gentler version of dodgeball, the game is played with a soft foam ball and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees.
- Fun & Games: Kids will enjoy a variety of group games and activities on our multi-sports court and indoor turf. They can play basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, or classic camp games on our cushioned sport court floor. Plus, they’ll get instructed game time with one of our staff on the indoor turf, making sure everyone stays active, engaged, and having fun!
- Water Park: The Arena Club’s state-of-the-art year round aquatics complex is the perfect place for your child to splash! Our younger campers will enjoy cooling off in our beach pool and older campers love our recreational pool with two waterslides, a diving board, and aqua basketball.

Parent Testimonials
My children have attended the camps offered at the Arena Club for 3 summers. My children describe the camps as "fun and cool". They have established great friendships amongst other campers and my oldest daughter is influenced in positive ways by the excellent camp counselors. As the parent I have been impressed by the professionalism, excellent follow through and follow up by the camp staff, which reinforced that I selected the best camp in Harford County!
