LSF has enjoyed watching your child grow from a toddler to a teen. From childcare and PeeWee to lessons and leisure play, “growing up Lakeshore” is a blast! For every stage in life, Lakeshore Sport & Fitness has something to support your child’s learning, recreational, and health objectives. As your child gets older, Lakeshore is here to support the transition of kids growing into young adults. Our youth and camp programs allow kids to grow up with us and eventually learn to become leaders.

Ages: 2-4
PeeWee Preschool is our drop-off preschool program for kids ages 2-4. This is perfect for kids too young to start kindergarten but also presents opportunities for them to learn and develop important social skills right away. Kids will stay engaged through active play, learning, creativity, and socialization. PeeWee Preschool even includes a 30-minute instructional swim lesson with a certified aquatics instructor, because foundational swimming skills are essential to a child’s development and safety.

Ages: 6 weeks – 12 years
Our childcare program is designed to provide a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children so the parents can focus on their own health or recreational objectives. Lakeshore’s experienced and certified staff members engage the children in a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, games, and physical activities. Parents can enjoy their workout or run errands without worrying about their children’s safety or well-being. Additionally, Lakeshore Sport & Fitness offers flexible childcare hours to accommodate parents’ schedules, making it a great option for busy families.

Grades: 1-3
Camp13 is LSF’s summer camp program for kids in grades 1-3. This is composed of a traditional summer camp but includes off-site field trips. Each week, the campers will enjoy 3 off-site field trips pertaining to that week’s theme. For the other two days, they will be at the club enjoying our traditional camp activities like swimming, games, and sports. This camp is a great way for kids to stay actively engaged all summer long, spend time with their friends, and build new friendships. They will have plenty of outdoors time and experience new adventures on the weekly field trips.

Grades: 4th-8th
If your middle school kids want to be part of an exclusive club, Club48 is the place to be! Held Monday through Friday from 3-6pm, and on weekends from 1-4pm, Club48 is for 4th-8th graders to hang out and have fun with their peers. Learning independence is an important part of development at this age, so they are granted certain freedoms where they can own their experience.
Once they arrive at the club, the middle schoolers will check in and choose from several organized activities. Even though the kids are granted freedom and independence, our staff will supervise the areas where Club48 participants have access.

Grades: 9th-12th
Once your kids reach high school, they are free to use the club as an adult. However, we ask that you please help discuss club etiquette with them prior to their visits.
- Not congregating in large groups on workout equipment but rather working in and out with other members.
- Not sitting on equipment on cell phones while not actively working out.
- Using appropriate behavior and language in all areas of the club.
- Using the locker room appropriately – changing and showering rather than using a space to congregate in large groups. No cell phone use in the locker rooms, keeping the volume and content of conversations to an appropriate level, etc.
- Being respectful of fellow members and staff while in the club.
We welcome your teens to use the club as they are our future adult members, but let them know that to be treated as adults in the club, it is important that they act as such. If you have questions on this, please email [email protected]. We appreciate your help as parents to keep the experience great for both your teen and all of our members!
