With virtual reality sweeping the nation, sports remain the last stronghold preventing humans from evolving into thumbs with eyes. Keep your child fully human with today's Groupon: for $29, children six to 13 years old get one week of children's multisport camp (a $99 value) at NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills. Today's deal lets you choose between the a.m. session (8 a.m.–12 p.m.) and the p.m. session (1 p.m.–5 p.m.).

NYTEX Sports Centre offers weeklong multisport summer camps from June 14 to August 20 in its 140,000-square-foot sports emporium, replete with an ice arena, indoor turf field for soccer and football, five volleyball courts, and an in-house restaurant. During camp, your favorite (or least favorite) pick of the litter will enjoy a week of continuous sporting sessions of ice skating, ice hockey, Vanilla Ice, football, soccer, broomball, dodgeball, Frisbee, volleyball, and more. Skates will be provided for all ice sports, but helmets, padding, and the mental clarity needed for successful dodgeball play must be provided entirely by your child. If your child is confused by the cold steam of the ice rink, each sport session offers at least one on-ice and one off-ice activity to choose from.

A typical day begins with check-in, followed by about an hour of ice or field activities, after which your child will rotate to a different sport each hour. Summer camp is a good way for your child to stay physically active, learn valuable social skills, and accurately display the raw athleticism proudly given to them through performance-enhancing hugs. Call ahead to reserve a spot in camp.
