Camp Overview
Academy Camps is a modern approach to the sports camp experience. We offer 1- and 2-week sessions for Boys & Girls age 10 - 15 interested in lacrosse, basketball, soccer or tennis. Our campers choose one of our four "Academy Sports" and receive two intensive training sessions per day with our high-performance coaching staff, as well as, Performance, Wellness, & Leadership instruction. The remainder of their schedule is dedicated to the traditional sleepaway camp activities, various sports, and having fun. We have a total of three 2-week sessions that run from June 23rd to August 2nd.

Hmm... What's your role?
Staff Time Off
Camp life is structured and demanding. A high energy level is important for a successful summer. We want you to be enthusiastic and happy about your work and recognize that you need some time off for rest and relaxation. In addition to regularly scheduled time off, camp facilities are open to staff throughout the day when not in use by the campers. A staff-only lounge, fully-equipped with internet and TV, is open every night. A state-of-the-art Fitness Center is available each evening for counselors to utilize during their free time. For those interested, there are regularly scheduled staff games and trips to town. Staff receive one day off per session and another day off between sessions.
