Sports Camp is held in mid-August at Antiochan Village Summer Camp in Bolivar PA.  Check back here in March for the letter of interest form. Share the word that we need additional coaches. 

 

Campers will be selected by random drawing.  Priority will be given to any athlete that has a volunteer sibling or parent attending camp for the week. All other athletes will be assigned a number. Depending on the number of coaches, and allocations
received, athletes will be assigned a spot from their number received in the random drawing!

 

Sports Camp is exhausting and exhilarating at the same time!! Chaperones are with athletes 24/7 (ok, we do get 2 breaks a day). The day begins around 6:30 (for the slow movers), and 7ish for others. We usually get to bed around 11 or so.... The day goes something like this: {This is a very general schedule}

ATHLETE CRITERIA & REQUIREMENTS 
 Applicants of all ability levels are welcome! (Due to the Special Olympics required coach athlete ratio, this camp is not appropriate for those athletes requiring 1-to-1 attention for behavioral and/or physical needs.)
 Athletes must be able to walk up and down hills without assistance. Please note that this is a walking camp and there are hills on the campus.
 Athletes from Montgomery County must be 18 years of age by camp date.
 Athletes must have trained/participated in at least one sport for Montgomery County during the past year.
 Athletes must be able to withstand and fully participate in five hours of sports training per day, including participation in all sports rotations during the afternoons, along with scheduled evening activities.
 Athletes must be able to deal with last-minute changes, due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances
 Athletes must be coachable, and/or accept instruction from new individuals

If an athlete is not able to withstand this level of participation, this camp will probably not be a good experience for this athlete.
