Topnotch instruction with a focus on technical development, tactics, and sportsmanship
Summer Camp Sports Program
Pemi is the best sports summer camp for athletic boys to become well-rounded young men. Our campers receive topnotch instruction with a focus on technical development and team tactics, plenty of playing time, and high-level inter-camp competition, while also having the opportunity to discover new interests and tap into new talents in our other program areas: Water Sports, Nature, Music, Art, Woodworking, Drama, and Hiking & Canoeing. This becomes especially important as boys grow older and their tastes, curiosity, and perspectives develop.
An Excellent Sports Program
Athletes return to Pemi year after year, knowing they’ll be in top physical condition for school, ready to resume their place on a team and/or be prepared to try out for a new sport, having been introduced to one at camp that they’d never tried before. Pemi’s Sports Program is known for excellent coaching from beginner to advanced levels.
Morning Instruction
You’ll learn and practice technical and functional skills specific to the given sport. Coaches develop lesson plans with daily goals that build over the course of the week. Instruction involves clear direction and demonstration, with drills from fundamentals to advanced team strategy.
Team Practices
Translate the technical skills, functional training, and group problem solving you learned in the morning to a game setting. These team scrimmages are the next step in preparation to compete with other camps.
Competition
Pull it all together in scrimmages, games, and matches with other local camps. Whether on the individual or team level, our goal is for competition to provide learning opportunities about teamwork and cooperation, drive and determination, and how to be a serious competitor without sacrificing sportsmanship. Our philosophy? Winning is best when done the right way.
