Ultimate Frisbee Summer Camps 

Emerald Valley Ultimate is a local non-profit that organizes youth ultimate frisbee in Eugene, including some summer camps for kids ages 8+. If you haven't heard much about ultimate frisbee, it's an awesome team sport similar to soccer that helps get kids active and outside. It's particularly good for youth social emotional development because it is self refereed up to the highest level. Kids are taught empathy and conflict resolution skills from an early age to mediate disagreements on and off the field. Click the above flyer or website for more information.
