Director
The camp is operated by Len Miller, in his twenty-fifth
year as owner and director of Sports School Day Camp. Len
is a graduate of Springfield College and has a Masters
Degree in education from the University of Northern Colorado.
He has coached several high school boys' and girls' basketball

children are allowed to be children and learn to enjoy
the benefits of playing organized sports.

Counselors
This
year's staff will consist of top college and high school student
athletes, many of whom are our former campers. We are pleased
to have them return as counselors and are happy that they wish
to pass on to other children what they have gained from their
experience at Sports School Day Camp.

PROGRAM |
Our program is organized into two week sessions.
During each session the campers are introduced to a wide variety
of sports. We teach the youngsters the fundamentals of these
sports and then allow them to participate in controlled competition.
Having fun and learning the correct way to play the sports
are our constant goals.
Sports
Basketball, baseball, soccer
and our complete Red Cross
swimming program are emphasized,
but instruction is also given
in track,
archery, volleyball, and other
sports.
"Fun
Activities"
Our camp program also includes
several "fun activities":
a joke and storytelling session
follows lunch each day; a camp
cookout features a bar-b-que,
an egg-tossing contest, and
a water carnival; a talent
show is held each session; and
as a
grand finale to each session,
the two-day Decathlon offers
campers the opportunity to
compete in various events where
enjoyment,
participation and effort are
emphasized.
Physical Fitness
Each day will begin with a fitness program. The boys and girls
will be made aware of the physical, mental, and health reasons
behind emphasizing this important area.
Awards Day
On the last day of each session
each child will be presented
a certificate of achievement
and individual awards will be
made. Parents or Guardians are
strongly encouraged to attend.
