OUR MISSION
Why HighFive exists
HighFive Sport Camps was born from a simple idea: what if we could give every young athlete the chance to train professionally, make friends from around the world, and come home a different person?
We don't just run sports camps. We create life-changing weeks where a 10-year-old from Sarajevo trains alongside a 12-year-old from Istanbul, where a teenager from Moscow shares a dinner table with a new friend from Berlin. These connections don't end when camp is over: they last a lifetime.
Every parent who trusts us with their child gets more than a camp program. They get a professional organization with 83,000+ athletes trained, real-time updates through our Parent Portal, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing two of the region's most experienced travel companies are behind every detail.
THE STORY BEHIND HIGHFIVE
Two leaders, one vision
Hey Travel built its reputation as the go-to sports camp organizer in Turkey: running over a thousand camps, training tens of thousands of young athletes, and building relationships with the country's best coaches and facilities. Their expertise in sports programming is unmatched.
Mervin Travel brought years of experience in international incoming tourism and global event logistics: managing complex operations across borders, languages, and cultures. They know how to move people safely and seamlessly across continents.
HighFive Sport Camps
When these two companies came together, the result was HighFive Sport Camps: a globally-minded sports camp organization that combines world-class athletic training with the operational excellence of international tourism. Every camp runs like a precision operation: because it is one.
WHAT YOUR CHILD GAINS
More than a camp week: a turning point
LIFETIME STORIES
Your child won't just remember drills and scores. They'll remember the teammate from another country who became a best friend, the evening they laughed until they cried, the moment they scored their first goal on a Mediterranean court. These aren't just camp memories: they're the stories they'll tell for the rest of their lives.
REAL CONFIDENCE
There's a difference between telling a child they can do something and letting them prove it to themselves. Our camps create safe, structured challenges where young athletes push their limits, find their voice, and walk away standing taller. Parents notice the change the moment they pick them up.
INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIPS
With athletes from 19 countries, your child's social circle goes global. These aren't surface-level connections: kids who train, eat, and laugh together for a week form bonds that cross borders. Many of our campers stay in touch for years, visiting each other's countries and building networks that serve them well into adulthood.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
40+ licensed coaches deliver structured training programs in basketball, football, and volleyball. This isn't recreational play: it's genuine athletic development with skill assessments, tactical training, and personalized feedback. Your child will improve measurably, whether they're a beginner or a competitive athlete.
