Special Area Skills Development and
Skills Contests
Weekly skills contests promote development and provide an opportunity for campers
to receive additional instruction in their favorite sports. Contests include: Home
Run Derbies, Three-Point Shooting Contests, Slap Shot Series, Pass, Punt and Kick
Contests, and Soccer Shoot Outs! We'll also find out just how much our campers really
know about sports with our NEW Sports Trivia Contests! Each skills contest focuses
on individual improvement and is specifically designed to be fun and to reinforce
the new skills that campers have learned.
League Games
Each camper is a member of a team, which participates in daily league games. These
games are designed to promote sportsmanship and teamwork and to give campers the opportunity
to practice the new skills they have learned. To ensure that all campers receive the
same amount of playing time, our coaches enforce an "equal time substitution
policy."
Swimming
Sports Campers plunge into our daily recreational swim program under the guidance
and supervision of our Red Cross and YMCA certified lifeguards. We also offer an optional
instructional program that includes training in basic water safety skills and stroke
development. Our aquatic staff will design a specific program for each camper that
is compatible with his/her individual needs and ability level. Campers who complete
our standard swim levels can look forward to advancing into our most challenging swim
levels. Participants receive progress reports charting their development. Please notify
the camp in advance if you would like swimming instruction by marking the appropriate
box on the application. Instructional swim can be scheduled two times per week.
There is no extra charge for this option.
Leadership Training
The purpose of leadership training is to develop in each
camper the skills of the “total athlete.” We believe
that excellence in sports is more than just athletic performance.
It is the ability to motivate, support, and inspire your teammates.
It is having the confidence to make good decisions under pressure,
communicate clearly, and resolve conflicts effectively. It
is an attitude of good sportsmanship, fair play, competitive
spirit, and teamwork. It is a respect for your opponent, the
officials, and the rules of the game. Through our program,
our coaching staff is committed to developing all of these
skills and to creating leaders both on and off of the court
and playing field.

World League Championship Series
The thrilling nature of teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and competition
will come together once again in the exciting, action-packed World League Games,
as campers receive the opportunity to contribute their individual, athletic
efforts as a member of a traveling sports team. The World League Championship
Series consists of both home and away games. Campers will visit and compete
against other ESF Sports Camps in hopes of capturing the World League Championship
Title and earning the rights to the prestigious ESF World League Trophy! Emphasis
is placed on "how the games are played" rather than on winning or
losing.
