Sports Program
Our goal is to give our campers the best opportunity to learn each sport through quality instruction and game playing situations. The sports program allows children to gain experience in every sport, while also enabling them to place more attention on their favorite ones. Some of the ways that our campers can enjoy athletics at Camp Kweebec are through instructional periods, in-camp leagues, choice periods, inter-camp games versus opposing camps, and optional sporting activities such as private lessons and out of camp trips. We try to create a positive environment where children are put in situations to succeed. At Camp Kweebec, it is not necessary to be the best athlete. The keys to success are the desire to improve and a basic joy of participating. This is enhanced through our requirement that each and every camper play at least a half of each team game. Through both our individual and team sports programs, our goals are easily reached.
Team Sports:
Our team sports include basketball, hockey, soccer, softball, football, volleyball, gaga, handball, BBS, and lacrosse.We have traditionally maintained a commitment to excellence in both our boys and girls programs thanks to the outstanding level of coaching each summer. At Kweebec, we have experienced players and coaches on the resident staff. What sets us apart, however, is our ability to have the area’s best professional and college coaches/players at our disposal. Coach Speedy Morris is at camp every Tuesday and Friday to work with our kids. We also welcome Herb Magee (known as the best shooting coach in the country), Fran Dunphy, and Jay Wright as outside personalities to assist in our basketball program. Not to mention the many Philadelphia 76ers and other pros such as the NBA’s Jameer Nelson and Doug Overton who come up to challenge Kweebec’s best players every summer!
Individual Sports:
Our individual sports include tennis, golf, ice hockey, wrestling, swimming, fitness, and gymnastics.
We offer a variety of options for those who prefer individual sports to team sports. Regardless of level, any child that participates in our individual sports program will improve their skills while being taught by excellent instructors who are selected based on their abilities to instruct and relate to kids. Private 1-on-1 tennis lessons are offered with emphasis placed on footwork, stroke development, proper conditioning, and strategy. Our individualized golf program at camp provides instruction on driving, pitching, chipping, putting, amongst other things, and is enhanced while playing on area courses. The ice hockey program gives beginners a chance to learn how to skate while experienced players can refine their skills. In addition, Camp Kweebec is pleased to be able to provide unique private and semi-private fitness sessions to all who are interested.
The Sports Progam at Kweebec covers a wide spectrum of sports, both individual and team, that allows our campers to learn while having fun!!!
