Summer Sports Camps

Last summer nearly 500 young athletes participated in sports camps operated by New Castle County. Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.  Camps are open to players with novice to intermediate skill levels. The camp fee of $60 includes a t-shirt, instructor, and administrative fees. Participants should bring personal equipment, as well as drinks, a towel, and rain gear (for outdoor camps).  In case of questionable weather, the activity may be delayed, postponed, or switched to an alternate indoor site, if available.
