Ice Hockey
For experienced and highly motivated Ice Hockey players who wish to maintain a feel for the ice and keep their skills up over the summer, Brant Lake Camp will again be offering this special program.
Ice Hockey will be run by our own Dave Cramoy, a former hockey coach at The National Sports Academy in Lake Placid and who also holds his Advanced Level Coaching Certification from USA Hockey.
The program will consist of 4 – 5 workouts during the summer which will run an hour and fifteen minutes. Full equipment, including helmet with a full cage, gloves, shin and elbow guards, neck guard, protective cup, hockey pants and stick are required. Hockey skates are obviously needed; however, they may also be rented at the facility for a modest charge. (For your information, much of the same equipment may be utilized for roller hockey.)
Joining us for these ice sessions will be two other camps allowing the player numbers for appropriately competitive drills and scrimmages. Small ice games and drills will also be utilized and the emphasis will be on fun.
Lacrosse
Lacrosse is a fast growing sport at Brant Lake and we have many boys who play and want more opportunity to participate. Our "Field Turf" facility is a great practice/scrimmage area and we hire more and more counselors each year who play lacrosse and are capable of teaching/coaching.
For much of the summer lacrosse is part of our Hobby Program. However, to augment our efforts in support of the sport, we conduct one or two special "Lacrosse Weeks" when we bring in a very high quality instructor to run the program, providing additional opportunities for skill development and play for this increasingly popular activity. During these weeks, lacrosse generates the status usually afforded only to baseball, basketball, tennis and soccer.
Tutoring
If you wish your son to have tutoring, we will attempt to find a qualified person on the staff that is willing to work with him during their mutual free time. We recommend one session a week but can usually accommodate a second session. More may be difficult to schedule. There is a nominal session fee for tutoring which is paid directly to the tutor. Each session will be approximately 30 minutes long. If work with a professional teacher is necessary, the cost may be higher . (Bar Mitzvah tutoring is also available.) |
