School-break sports camps near Kalamazoo: winter, spring and summer

Every school break is a childcare puzzle and a chance to move. Here is how the full-day sports camps at the Kalsee Dome work and what to pack.

Next Level Sports Center runs full-day multi-sport camps for ages 4–12 at the Kalsee Dome in Schoolcraft every school break: Holiday Break Camp Dec 21–23 or Dec 28–30 ($195), Spring Break Camp Mar 29 – Apr 2, 2027 ($289) and weekly summer camps from mid-June through August with a sibling discount. Drop off from 8 AM, pick up by 5 PM; the day rotates through sport stations, team challenges and free play indoors and across the 30-acre campus, so weather never cancels.

What a camp day looks like

  • Morning sport stations in 45-minute rotations: volleyball, soccer, baseball or softball in the cages, golf on the range, football, basketball.
  • Midday lunch (packed from home), then team challenges and creative play.
  • Afternoon free play, optional skill clinics, outdoor time across the campus when weather allows.
  • By 5:00 pick up.

Groups are split by age so a five-year-old and an eleven-year-old each get a day built for them.

What to pack

A packed lunch and two snacks, a labeled water bottle, indoor sneakers (no cleats inside), weather clothes for outdoor time, and a change of clothes for the youngest. Equipment is provided for every sport. Tell the desk about allergies and pick-up names at registration.
