Camp Roar at The First Academy is for students from 2 years old through sixth grade and features all day and part-time camp opportunities. The camp is open to current TFA or non-TFA students.

The mission of TFA is “to prepare children for life as Christian leaders who choose character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, service before self and participation as a way of life,” according to the camp’s registration brochure.

The camps run from June 6-July 29 with engaging offerings such as baseball, football, soccer, cheerleading, edible arts, Lego mania, science exploration and martial arts.

Children have the option to participate in academic camps or sports camps in the morning while the afternoon is filled with weekly themed activities to encourage and fuel children’s creativity.

The camp is led by Director Corey Wall who is serving in her eighth year at TFA and in her ninth year in summer camp leadership, bringing previous experience from leading her hometown’s camp in North Carolina and as a youth director for YMCAs in Virginia.
