Marion County – Student athletes at nearly every grade level can benefit from skills learned at optional summer camps this year.
Camps generally are no longer than one week and vary in cost.
Different schools offer different programs, and most are managed and staffed by current school coaches and student athletes.
These camps help with skill development, teamwork, and health while providing fun activities for students during the summer.
Safety plans are in place for COVID-19 concerns, cold water immersion, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) requirements, among others.
