About the Camp
The Worcester Academy Sports Camp takes great pride in providing instruction and play in all sports, while not specializing in any one.  With a tradition of over 50 years in the sports camp business, the program allows girls and boys ages 6 to 14 to develop their interests and skills in many different areas. Each two-week program features swimming, arts & crafts, outings, sports films, Olympic days and special sports clinics. Regular instruction includes football, basketball, baseball, track, wrestling, soccer, softball, floor hockey and other sports-related activities.

Swimming
Instructional swimming is provided daily; each camper is evaluated at the end of a two-week session and awarded a certificate of achievement. The swimming program is carried on rain or shine in the F. Harold Daniels Gymnasium indoor pool.  Every aspect of safety is considered in the swimming program, which is one of the most important skills taught at our camp.

Arts and Crafts
The craft program is organized to give campers an opportunity to do some creative work with their hands in various arts and crafts.

Health
All care and precaution will be given to ensure the safety of each camper.  A physical examination by a family physician is required and must be on file prior to participation in camp activities.  Athletic trainers are available during the camp day in case of injury.

Uniform and Equipment
Campers are required to wear the official Worcester Academy sports camp uniform consisting of a T-shirt and crimson shorts, which can be purchased the first day of each session in the gymnasium store.  Campers supply their own sneakers, gloves and swimsuits. On cool days, campers may wear jeans or long pants.  The camp supplies towels daily at no extra cost.

Food Services
Campers bring their own lunch in a suitable container.  Milk is provided or drinks may be purchased from a machine on campus.

Facilities
Gaskill Field and the main campus provide 11 acres of athletic fields for all sports.  Outdoor activities are carried out on both our campus green, as well as the school's athletic fields.  The F.
