Sports Camps - Rising Grade 2-10 (Skiff Street Campus) 

2025 Sports Camps

Our Sports Camps strive to develop the whole athlete in your child.  In each weekly session, campers improve their skill level and develop the confidence needed to attain a high level of success.  With our variety of offerings, your child has the unique opportunity to participate in other sports activities and, by doing so, promote better physical development as a result of this exposure.  Whether you choose one sport or more than one, your child will receive instruction from qualified coaches with years of experience working with children.

All of our Sports Camps are in session from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  The camps utilize the fields and athletic facilities at our Skiff Street Athletic Complex.  This includes our heated pool at the Beckerman Athletic Center.  Each day, campers should bring their own snack, lunch, water, bathing suit, and towel. Please note that we are a nut-free facility.  Also, please check the camp descriptions listed below to make sure that your child is properly equipped for that particular camp.  For outdoor sports in which cleats are used, campers should also bring a pair of sneakers to be used for indoor activities during periods of inclement weather.

If you have any questions relating to our Sports Camps, please contact Joe Fontana, Sports Camp Director (jfontana@hamdenhall.org)

Please be aware that every precaution is taken by our staff to avoid situations that may be dangerous to your child.  However, unforeseen and unpredictable circumstances may arise that may expose your child to inherent risks associated with the sport in which he/she is participating.
