A member of the Freelance League, the camp is known for its sports program. Most notable is the camp's American football team, the Kilpatrick Mustangs. The 1993 Emmy Award-winning documentary film ''Gridiron Gang'' documents the team's 1990 season, and the 2006 film of the same name is loosely based on those events.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/gridirongang.php |title=Gridiron Gang (2006) |work=chasingthefrog.com |publisher= |accessdate=February 10, 2014}}</ref> The Camp Kilpatrick athletics program was ended in August 2012.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-0225-banks-camp-kilpatrick-sports-20140225-column.html Camp Kilpatrick, an acclaimed youth sports program, is sidelined]</ref>
