The Chapelwood Recreation Ministry is a center of activity, where we show the love of Christ through sports leagues, fitness classes, summer camps and other recreational programs. Our purpose is to offer people of all ages the opportunities to experience Christian fellowship by promoting healthy and active lifestyles. We are all experiencing a different world during COVID-19, and we appreciate your understanding of the measures Chapelwood is taking to protect everyone as we all try to figure out the best ways to proceed. We hope your families are being careful and staying safe and healthy, and we look forward to resuming more in-person Recreation programs soon.
Children & Youth Sports
Throughout the year, we offer sports programs for children and youth, which include Kingdom Soccer, Kingdom Basketball, Baseball/Softball/T-Ball and Girls Kingdom Volleyball, all managed by Cason Sicking. These leagues are for boys and girls from Pre-K through high school grades. Teams are coached by parents, and practices are held at Chapelwood. Games are played on Saturdays at various locations in the Memorial/Spring Branch area. We hope you and your family will join us for one or more of these recreational programs.

When I wear my Sensory Motor Teacher Hat, I challenge children with motor activities that provide experiences that help their bodies develop while sharpening their perception skills and maturing their neurological systems. Some of the life skills learned in motor class are listening skills, thinking skills, self-control and social growth.
My favorite summer activity
Working at Camp Chapelwood. As Director this requires me to create and implement programs for elementary age students to learn new skills, develop new interests and develop spiritual awareness. The best part of this position is that we have a reunion with former students.
My favorite hobbies
Gardening, cooking and reading.
I think children are the happiest when . . .
They are allowed to be active. They learn best when they are doing!
If I could be anyone for a day, I would be . . .
My granddog Bella. She gets to eat, sleep, swim in the lake and play ball all day and have people loving her hourly.
My worst place to be stuck
In a snowstorm in Colorado. I backed out of a driveway and could not see the dam that was made by a snowplow. I was not even able to open my car door.
My favorite childhood memory
I was an only child so my favorite childhood memories were when I went to friends’ houses and we played board games.
My favorite children’s book
The Little Engine that Could.
The best part of my job
Watching children grow from the seeds planted in preschool, elementary, high school and sometimes college to responsible young adults.
