Will Doyle (Montgomery County Franchisee
Parks and Recreation Highlight)
While looking for summer camp locations in late 2018, I noticed the Montgomery County Parks and Recreation Summer camp guide and reached out to their office to inquire about new partnerships. A couple phone calls and an in-person meeting later, I noticed they were not running any Flag Football Summer camps. We started off with 2 weeks of Flag Football Camp over the 2019 summer, with an average of about 15 kids per week. That turned into weekend basketball clinics (bringing in 50-60 kids ages 3-13)during this school year and when summer camp discussion came back around, the feedback for our programs was so outstanding that we opened 2 locations for full summer, multi-sport camps as well as Flag football camps and a possible partnership for summer basketball leagues.
Word of mouth travels fast, and when camp registration opened up on Jan. 21st, we brought in over $40k in revenue on the first day. If the early results continue to climb, we are looking at a potential for $150k+ between all of our offerings through the county. The best part is, we are able to do this all without spending a dime on marketing since the Camp guides get sent out to every single Elementary and Middle School at the county.
