A multi-faceted program

Electives at Academy Camps

At Academy Camps we’re focused on providing balanced programming for all our athletes

Our elective program provides opportunities for holistic development — physically, mentally, socially, and creatively. It also focuses on reducing the risk of injury and making space for our athletes to just have fun.

Encouraging your child to participate in these activities can broaden their skill set, build confidence, promote well-rounded athleticism, and contribute to their overall enjoyment of the camp experience.

Some of our electives offered everyday
