Our Approach

The Academy Camps Approach

Our athletes choose one “Academy Sport” - Basketball, Lacrosse, Soccer or Tennis. This will be the focus of their experience as they train with our high-performance coaches, developing the skills and techniques needed to improve on and off the field. Our goal is to create a culture and camp where athletes experience:

• Specialized Instruction: Athletes choose an Academy Sport they want to specialize in. Give your athletes the gift of focus and freedom to develop their skills.
• Balanced Programming: Athletes gain exposure to additional sports and activities throughout their daily schedule. Multi-sport athletes avoid burnout and overuse injuries over time.
• Camp Culture: Beyond our 3 hours of athletic training, each session includes evening & special events and traditional camp activities. Athletes don’t have to sacrifice skill development at the expense of a true overnight camp experience.

An example of how we blend our athletic & traditional camp activities in our camp community is our camp-wide “color wars,” The AC Cup.

The Mindset

Our Athlete Mindset Program provides our athletes with the mental and emotional skills required to build trust and connect with teammates. Academy Camps provides the ideal face-to-face environment to learn and practice communication, collaboration, teamwork, self-discipline, empowerment, and accountability.
