A slam dunk success: Recapping the Ultimate Bracket Bash

by | Apr 16, 2026 | It's a Wrap

The Ultimate Bracket Bash was a slam dunk success, bringing a high-energy mix of play and creativity to the Sandler Family Campus. The evening kicked off in the gym with plenty of laughter as the kids engaged in lively games with balloons and took turns shooting around with basketballs on the court. Between rounds of play, the craft station stayed busy as everyone designed custom sports-themed bookmarks and hand-crafted bracelets featuring basketball beads. The excitement then moved to the indoor pool for a refreshing swim, allowing everyone to cool off and enjoy some time in the water with friends before heading into the final stretch of the night.

 To keep the kids fueled for the festivities, a “Championship Snack Mix” featuring a savory blend of Cheez-Its, popcorn, cheese balls, pretzels, and party mix was enjoyed by all. This custom snack was the perfect addition as the energy shifted from the court to the screen. The night wrapped up by gathering to enjoy a screening of Cars 2 –  the perfect way to wind down and celebrate a great event.

 The next Kids Night Out is slated for Saturday, May 16. Registration is open. Since many favorite camp counselors will be there to join in the fun, be sure to register soon.
