Purchase Sports Camp, for children ages 3-15, will open in the summer and utilize the recreational facilities at Manhattanville College in Purchase.
The primary focus of Purchase Sports Camp will be tennis, soccer, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, cheerleading, and flag football. However, children will also have an opportunity to utilize the pool and to play other field sports.
Upon registration campers will be asked to select their top two picks for sports. These are the activities they will focus on during their time at Purchase Sports Camp. “Skill sets will get developed over the summer. Even in younger children we will be helping them develop the skills to become proficient in their chosen sport,” says owner Josh Schraeter.
“In the morning children will take lessons in their chosen sport and in the afternoon they will play competitive sports and scrimmages for points, putting their skills to the test,” Schraeter says. “I’m confident the children will improve over the summer. You [children] will leave camp with a better understanding of how to play the chosen sport,” he says.
The facilities at Manhattanville College include six tennis courts, a brand-new state-of-the-art AstroTurf soccer field, basketball courts, an indoor pool, and an indoor gymnasium that can be used for basketball and volleyball.
Campers will be playing sports all day and need to bring their own equipment for select sports, such as sneakers, a tennis racquet, shin guards, and a bathing suit.
Purchase Sports Camp runs from June 26-Aug. 11; campers can sign up for one week, the full seven weeks, or any combination of time. Camp days are from 9am-4pm. Half days are available for children ages 4-7. Lunch, busing, early drop-off, and late pickup will be available for added charges.
