Athletics

Sports at Chestnut Lake play an important role in developing self-esteem and allowing a child to grow as a person. From team sports to individual sports, the Chestnut Lake program challenges campers of all athletic abilities in the most supportive and encouraging environment.

While our highly skilled staff offer great instruction, we have purposefully designed the program to allow kids to be kids, enjoy the carefree days of summer and play for the "fun" of the game.

Personalized Instruction: For the advanced athlete (or a camper looking to improve their skills), we provide opportunities for pre-summer sign-ups to participate in a variety of one-day Specialty Camps in sports such as soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and flag football, and occasional Academies in sports such as Tennis, Gymnastics, and Baseball/Softball that provide semi-private coaching session. Specialty Camps and Academies have additional fees.

Intercamp Sports: All campers can choose to represent CLC as part of our Wayne County intercamp teams in the full range of grades and a wide variety of sports (including soccer, basketball, lacrosse, flag football, baseball, softball, and more). In line with our "attitude over aptitude" approach to camp, there are no tryouts at CLC. Campers simply sign up for the teams and take great pride in showing off their Green and White spirit when competing against other camps.
