Athletic Instruction

At Brant Lake Camp, we take pride in both the quantity and quality of our athletic instruction, which is a core element in all our sports activity. While we have many great counselor college and former high school players who are very much involved in our instruction, experienced coaches are the leaders and lesson planners.

As noted, instruction is provided in all sports, as well as hobbies, in several different ways depending on the mini-camp your son is in. These include:

Clinics
Required instruction periods for our younger campers in our core sports of baseball, basketball, tennis and soccer with subtle ability grouping to build confidence and enhance the learning opportunity.

Selectivity
A BLC program where boys select their sports activity for the week and receive instruction in that sport several times during that week.

Major-Minor
An instructional period for Senior campers made up of smaller group sizes allowing for more personalized instruction.

Individualized
One-on-one instruction provided on an as-requested basis. This instruction is primarily during free play time or other non-group activity periods.

Special and Intensive Tennis
Separate instructional programs that run throughout the summer for boys who are highly motivated and want additional instruction/games.

Hobbies
Many hobbies, such as roller hockey, lacrosse, golf, archery, climbing wall, involve a combination of both excellent instruction and fun games.

Waterfront Instruction
Separate daily instructional swim periods are required for our Junior Campers so that they develop strong basic swim skills.

Lastly, we believe that every game or activity played at Brant Lake Camp provides the opportunity for instruction whether it’s a league game, a sail on the lake or an Inter Camp contest. The teaching moment is always at hand.
