Headfirst Summer Camps, Bethesda

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Our programming is based on a mission to enrich the lives of children by fostering fun and building character through exceptional sports and summer camp programs. We want every attending camper to take away lessons based in positive energy, maximized effort, self-confidence and leadership.

What is the experience customers can expect?
We foster the engagement of every camper – whether they’re laughing with a teammate, practicing a new technique or learning a valuable lesson from a coach – in a physically & emotionally safe space, allowing campers to take chances in order to develop as players, leaders and character-driven people.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Founded in 1997 by Brendan Sullivan during the off-season of his professional baseball career, our first marketing piece was a copy of his baseball card. Our inspiration was and is the opportunity to impact and inspire young people and teach them skills to help them lead a happy and meaningful life.

What do you love most about your job?
We have the pleasure of spending 52 weeks each year thinking about, building towards and preparing for the summer. We're able to dedicate our time, energy and resources to building the most engaging, safest and meaningful summer programs around to ensure your camper has a great time with us at camp.
