About the Academy

Why we built Connor Kids Academy

A One-of-a-Kind Concept

Sports and camps are both good for kids. Research shows that boys who play sports tend to be healthier, less stressed, and do better in school. Camps help them build confidence and stand up to peer pressure.

Connor Kids Academy brings the two together. Boys get the structure, teamwork, and goals of sports, plus the confidence and fun of camp. And instead of one week, it lasts three years.

We use sports to help boys grow on the court, in the classroom, and in life. The year includes spring, summer, and fall events, plus a CKA app boys use every week. Everything we do focuses on healthy habits and good choices.
