Call for openings

Update:

We’re thinking about camp every day and looking forward to seeing all of you. Coach Pat Tyson will be coming in Monday morning along with the camp staff to meet parents and campers.

If you’re looking at the camp for the first time please call in or email to see if any spots opened up. The camp was basically filled back in April but we’ve had a couple of instances where the families discovered that their school team started practice the same week as the camp….and had to cancel.


The Commuter Option is available in the case there are no openings for the overnight camp.
