| About Us
Camp
Spirit is pioneering an exciting new approach to character education,
one that builds on the ethic of sportsmanship that prevails in the world
of Ultimate Frisbee. At even the most competitive levels, this
fast-growing sport is played without referees. Instead, players use
conflict resolution skills honed in an environment that stresses fair
play and mutual respect. For forty years, this "Spirit of the Game"
ethic has fostered honesty, integrity and constructive dispute
resolution. Camp Spirit is dedicated to helping young people learn this
ethic, and apply it in all walks of life.
Camp Spirit has won a prestigious national award for its innovative character education curriculum.
Company History
Camp Spirit of the Game was founded in 2007 by Andy Norman and Sam Bellin. For decades,
Coach Sam and Coach Andy have been teaching young people, running
sports and rec programs, and coaching teams. Andy and Sam have played
competitive ultimate since the early '80s, taken their teams to national
championship tournaments, and won awards for their sportsmanship.
