The Most Fun Way To Become A Better Athlete
Kids love us. Parents trust us.
We’re not your average sports camp.
Take the Leap!
Give your child the opportunity to gain new skills and become a better person, all while having the time of their lives.
Why BaxterSports Camps?
We are Portland’s premier youth athletic program offering a holistic approach to teaching and coaching kids. Not only do we teach kids the techniques and tactics of sports, but we are continually finding ways to teach positivity, good nutrition, and the importance of community. With the help of excellent coaches, we offer fun, safe, and nurturing yet challenging camps and clinics aimed to inspire kids both mentally and physically.
When it’s time to get outside, come and join us on the field. We hold camps for grades K-8 every week of the summer that are fun, active, and engaging no matter your child’s experience or skill level.
Our Spring Break camps combine indoor and outdoor actvities designed to get your kids out of the house, on the move, and enjoying the company of their peers in a developmental and fun environment.
When the temperatures drop, we’ll give your child a place to unplug and play. At our Winter Break camps, we go all day in the gym, mixing traditional sports with a variety of creative games.
Voted Portland's Best Summer Camp
Our organization is lucky enough to be a part of an amazing and supportive community. We were honored to receive NW Kids Magazine's "Best Summer Camp" award seven years in a row from 2013 to 2020. That means the world to us and we wear it as a badge of honor. Here at BaxterSports fun is always a priority.
Parent Approved Youth Sports Camps
Sports are about more than just skills, scoring goals, and winning games (although all that is really fun!).
They give you a chance to learn who you are, how to successfully relate to people — whether that means teammates, opponents, coaches or referees — and to learn more about life.
BaxterSports is an organization that stresses the importance of nutrition, proper stretching, positive thinking, and the mental game on top of skill-building, learning the game, and creating a sense of community. We want athletes to come back later and coach the next generation of campers.
Portland's Best Summer Camp
You’ve tried the rest, now try the best. What qualities define our award winning camps? With an equal focus on fun as well as fitness, at BaxterSports, we play the RIGHT way, valuing not only the techniques and tactics of sports, but also, Responsibility, Inclusivity, Gratitude, Heart, and Teamwork.
Sport Psychology
Our fearless leader, Brian Baxter, is a sport psychology consultant with over 20 years of experience in youth sports. His love for sports runs deeper than simply kicking around a soccer ball or shooting a free throw. Brian’s vision for the camps has always been to provide a great environment for athletes to learn and grow in all aspects of life.
Camps For Every Season
Through rain or shine, BaxterSports has always found a way to provide an engaging and safe environment for our athletes. We offer sessions over both Spring and Winter Break, as well as a variety of camps in the summer. Your kids have enough energy to last year round, so we do too.
Ages 5-14 Welcome
Whether you’ve got young athletes who are ready to try their first taste of sports and teamwork, or more seasoned players, we’ve got a camp or program to meet your needs. Our sports camps serve ages 5 to 14 and everything in between! We group campers by age range, so they are generally in small groups with kids their own age and skill level.
