The Headfirst Companies

For over 20 years, we?ve been creating programs that inspire children and young adults to courageously engage with the world, celebrate the challenges that come with trying hard things, and meet every opportunity and every setback with persistence, patience, and a positive attitude. We do this work because we believe in the simple yet profound power of play to spark inspiration and unlock potential, and we?ve built our reputation on a foundation of core values and proven results across three distinct organizations. Headfirst Summer Camps are award-winning STEM, STEAM, Sport, and Travel camps designed to create immersive, hands-on learning environments which utilize the power of play to entertain, challenge, and inspire. Headfirst Honor Roll Camps are two-day baseball and softball showcase events connecting coaches from the nation?s most academically competitive colleges with high school student-athletes who have what it takes to excel in the classroom and on the field. Headfirst Professional Sports Camps are youth baseball programs operated in conjunction with the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Washington Nationals, and ? new for 2018 ? Pittsburgh Pirates which combine behind-the-scenes stadium access and player meet-and-greets with curriculum-based baseball instruction to spark passion, build skills, and create Major League-worthy experiences. Together, The Headfirst Companies programs hosted more than 14,000 campers in 2017. Mission:?What if the best day ever made you better every day? At The Headfirst Companies, we continually cultivate a remarkable team whose mission is to develop and inspire the personal best in children, young adults, and each other. Together, we operate live academic & athletic experiential events that are powered by the knowledge that everyone comes to us with unique gifts and unlimited potential. We?re here to unlock that potential with innovative and engaging programs designed to strengthen six core developmental skills. We believe these Super Six? skills ? optimism, resiliency, hope & goal-setting, emotional mastery, self-efficacy, and grit & determination ? are the key social and emotional building blocks to authentic happiness and lasting success, and the challenge of their practice is our journey.
