SUMMER SPORTS CAMP

Director: Joe Fontana
The Summer Sports Camps offered at Hamden Hall have the ability to develop the whole athlete in your child. By virtue of our diverse offerings, every participant will be exposed to skills relevant to his/her particular sport that will make them confident and successful. But unique to our camp is the fact that each child has the opportunity to participate in other sports activities and promote better physical development as a result of this exposure. Whether you choose one sport or more than one, your child will receive instruction from qualified coaches with years of experience working with children.
