Camp Philosophy
The philosophy of the Pirate Sports Camp is to provide a safe environment in which the
campers can learn the fundamentals of a variety of sports, participate in traditional day
camp activities, and feel that they have achieved a measure of success. All campers are
encouraged to participate in all of the drills, games and associated activities. The staff
help to promote a healthy respect for the sport, individual rights and the common values we
all hold true: honesty, cooperation, caring for others, friendship and self-esteem.
Camp Objectives
- Teach basic skills in a variety of sports.
