OUR STAFFWe pride ourselves on having some of the best coaches and staff members in

the world. Our coaches are with us year-round – so they know our programs and

philosophy inside and out. Each coach is an expert in their field and is able to give

individual instruction to each camper throughout the week.

Sports Academy is an athlete’s dream. Basketball, soccer, baseball and volleyball headline

the roster of sports included during day-to-day activities

at camp. In addition, campers have the opportunity

to bowl, rock climb and do gymnastics! The goal of

Sports Academy is to offer young campers the best

place to play, while teaching them a wide range of

skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.

Through spirited play geared towards individual ability

levels, campers learn a variety of sports and gain self-

confidence. At Sports Academy, we firmly believe that

confidence is the key to success and therefore, teach

campers to feel good about sports and their abilities.

Urban Adventure offers teens

instruction in kayaking, stand

up paddle boarding, rock

climbing and sailing, as well as

opportunities to participate in

more traditional sports such as

basketball, soccer, volleyball,

batting cages, golf and more.

Regardless of ability level, teens are introduced to

a variety of sports and activities in a fun and relaxed

setting. Weekly activities include kayaking on

Tuesdays and sailing every Thursday. Campers put

their newly acquired skills to use on weekly field

trips to RPM Raceway, Rye Playland, Bear Mountain

for hiking and more!

The kayak program uses a variety of safety-certified

sea kayaks, selected to match each camper’s size

and experience level. Both the sailing and kayaking

programs make use of the Hudson River and

New York Harbor — one of the finest and cleanest

natural harbors in the nation.
