A member of the [Freelance League](/source/Freelance_League), the camp is known for its sports program.

The 1993 [Emmy Award](/source/Emmy_Award)-winning documentary film ''[Gridiron Gang](/source/Gridiron_Gang_(1993_film))'' documents the team's 1990 season, and the [2006 film of the same name](/source/Gridiron_Gang) 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>
