Camp Victory Summer Explosion:
Summer 2023
Camp Victory Summer Explosion is a multi-faceted camp experience that integrates sports/movement and education. Our attempt to reduce the summer slide includes four rotations that involve exercise, sports, physical literacy integrated with arts and crafts, STEAM, and lots of socialization and FUN!
- Camp Victory is for children who are current VPK’ers (must be potty trained) all the way up to 8th grade. Campers are divided into four age-appropriate color groups, and they rotate with those groups all day long.
- Some of our camps are on the large side (80 campers) and some of our camps are boutique size (as few as 25) it depends on your location.
- Our ratios are 1:16 and in some cases our red and yellow teams (younger kiddos) are in smaller groups.
- Junior Coaches and CIT’s assist experienced coaches, they wear coach shirts, use a whistle, and they may be in the car loop on a walkie calling down campers. They are coaches in training, they go to staff meetings, fill out an application, and are held accountable. And some of them even transition to staff coaches once they are eligible. Our staff coaches are student athletes, educators, therapists, college students, and high school students. They are assigned to a color group, building rapport, and getting on the level of their team. They are fun, intelligent, savvy, mobile, and engaged. They ARE NOT babysitters = )
- Yes, you can register as a part time camper, by selecting the weeks you would like to attend.
- We will be transporting campers to our two off-site field trip destinations via chauffeured coach buses.
- Yes, there is a field trip almost every week, and YES, the field trip cost is included in your tuition, the only field trip that is extra is our LONG trip to Island H20 in Orlando. Red and Yellow team campers (5 and under) will need a chaperone and your chaperone MUST drive you to Island H20.

Mr. Dustin Nuckels - Viera Campus Supervisor
Hello Victory Kid Sports families! My name is Dustin Nuckels and I will be the site Supervisor at Viera this summer. I’d like to share some information about myself so you can get to know a little about me. I grew up in “Almost Heaven” West Virginia and relocated to Orlando in 2017. I’ve been soaking up the sunshine ever since. I have a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Health Education and played 4 years of college baseball at the Division II level at Concord University. Upon finishing my undergraduate degree, I attended West Virginia University and earned a master’s degree in Physical Education Teacher Education and completed a graduate internship as a site director for a physical activity based after school program at an elementary school. After graduate school I hit the job market eventually landing at Lake Nona Middle School in Orlando where I am currently still employed. My first 4 and a half years at Lake Nona I taught physical education, coached varsity track, coordinated a school based intramural sports program, and created and operated a staff fitness club. I was promoted to 8th grade dean at Lake Nona in the middle of last school year and still hold this position. Outside of work I am a physical activity centered person. My personal interests include training through Crossfit and Olympic Weightlifting. I also coach part time at a functional fitness gym as well as a bootcamp, both in Titusville where I live. I met my wife Brittany in 2019 and we married in February of 2022. She’s a Kindergarten teacher and has taught in Brevard Schools for the last 9 years. I am a team centered person and I believe in the importance of creating and fostering a camp climate that instills values and morals, as well as providing your children resources and opportunities to grow. I am extremely appreciative to have this opportunity and look forward to developing meaningful and lasting relationships with our Viera families!
Ms. Kim Klein - West Melbourne Campus Supervisor
Hello, my name is Ms. Kim. I have been working with children professionally for 30+ years. If you include my own children, it’s been 43! My first experience in childcare was a home day care in Long Island N.Y., I ran that center for three years, and then I relocated to Florida in 1992. I started with Parks & Recreation as a staff assistant, working as a site supervisor, running both summer camps and after-school care. I left Parks & Recreation after ten years and went to the schoolboard of Brevard County as a BAS Coordinator, where I am currently employed.
I believe each child is unique in their own way. I learn something new every day and abide by the “rules” in order to earn the child’s respect. The atmosphere should be one of fairness, love, kindness, and respect.
This is my third summer working for Victory.
Ms. Cheryl Laraway (Bling) - Merritt Island Campus Director
Hi my name is Cheryl Laraway, I grew up in Western Massachusetts. I have four children and I am a grandmother and great grandmother. When my first child was old enough to attend preschool, he attended a Headstart program. I started attending parent meetings and found myself hanging out in the classroom. As time went on I started filling in as a sub in the classroom. I ended up going back to school and landed a full-time position as a teacher with Headstart. After my children were grown, I moved to Illinois and took a position at a KinderCare.
In 2005 I moved to Florida and continued to work for KinderCare as a teacher in the three-year-old classroom. After about two years I took a position with the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia County. I wore many different hats there as the company transitioned. I started as an infant/toddler specialist and then moved into the position of an assessor. I assessed early childhood centers and homes using the Iters and Ecers tool. I also mentored programs to help improve their quality of care. Six years later I found myself back at KinderCare as an assistant director and later became a director for the company. After eleven years I felt I was ready for a change. I came to Victory Academy with an open mind and have loved every moment.
