SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 22, 2024 /CNW/ - US Sports Camps and Sports Camps Canada, official providers of Nike Sports Camps, today announced a multi-year, multi-market partnership with Nintendo. Kicking off across North America this summer, the first year of this exciting collaboration is designed to enhance the camper experience through immersive gameplay experiences, activities, and more.

Between June and August, US Sports Camps and Sports Camps Canada, and Nintendo will co-host fun game experiences at selected camps that allow kids to take their game off the court and onto the Nintendo Switch system with multiplayer and sports focused games.
