The Randall’s Island Sports Camp was established in order to provide New York City children an opportunity to learn important skills and values, such as self esteem, self confidence, sportsmanship, tolerance, cooperation, responsibility and unity through sports. Our coaches and directors are committed to providing quality instruction on sport specific skills and game strategy. Afternoons will be dedicated to fun and socialization!
Children ages 6-11 are invited to participate in a week (or summer) full of fun activities including horseback riding, golf, kickball, soccer, softball/baseball, ga-ga, bike riding and much, much more. Each day one core sport will be focused on in the morning, then the afternoon will be spent participating in other fun activities such as bike riding, kickball, ga-ga, volleyball, miniature golf, batting cages, badminton, horse shoes, relays and cooperative activities.
The Facility and Sports Fields
Located just minutes from the Upper East Side in Manhattan, the 480 acre complex is the perfect location for a grand sports camp. The starting point for the camp each day is the newly renovated Randall’s Island Golf Center. A 4,000 square foot corporate tent hosts the morning check-in, lunch, the awards ceremony and check out every day. 60 new soccer, softball and baseball fields will be the location for softball, baseball and soccer. Children will participate in horseback riding right on the island, learning how to care for the horses, as well as learn to trot.
Transportation
For an additional charge, licensed school buses and vans, fully equipped with seat belts and two-way radio dispatch, will pick up and drop off campers at convenient corners within major residential districts of Manhattan, Rockaway (Queens), Middle Village (Queens) and Astoria (Queens). Additional Pick up spots will be determined upon completion of registration.
Rainy day activities will be organized as needed. Potential rainy day activities will include swimming, bowling, a museum, a day at the movies, etc.
Staff
Experienced, professional coaches lead daily training sessions in each sport. Each coach has been carefully hand selected from local colleges and schools. Each coach has a minimum of 5 years of competitive, coaching experience in their specific sport. The goal of the camp coaches is to provide quality, affordable instruction to each camper. Our desire is to nurture each athlete’s skills and game knowledge, helping them achieve their competitive goals in school or league play. Mature and responsible counselors also provide supervision and support throughout the day. Each counselor is certified in CPR. Our low camper/instructor ratio ensures personal attention for each camper and maximizes safety.
