2020 Girls Individual Skills Camp
Unfortunately, our 2020 Summer Camps have been cancelled...we hope to see you next summer!
This summer we are providing an individual skills camp for campers entering 7th-12th grades and we are offering both a resident and commuter option. Our individual skills camp is designed to teach the fundamentals of volleyball and to provide an opportunity for skill development! Throughout our camp, our excellent staff will provide campers with opportunities to develop in the areas of: serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and individual defense. In the evenings, campers will be able to put their skills into practice with live 6v6 play. The camp will also end with a fun 6v6 tournament so that the campers can put their skills into action. Campers will be grouped by experience and age so they can train in a safe and fun environment. Every night, a member on staff will share a “thought of the day” and campers will have an opportunity to discuss those thoughts within their team! Our camp is dedicated to providing instructional and enjoyable experiences for every camper in attendance!
Commuter Option: We offer the ability to commute from home and receive a $100 discount. The day runs from 8:30am until 9:00pm and includes lunch and dinner. If interested, you will have the option of choosing a "Commuter Camper" in the Registration Process.
