FOOTBALL AND LACROSSE
Daily clinics in football and flag football leagues make this one of the most fun sports in camp. If you love the gridiron, don't miss out!

Moss Park is one of the most beautiful athletic fields in the Berkshires. It features a regulation soccer pitch and two smaller cross fields for younger players. Six goals set up around the field allow soccer clinics to be very personal. Intercamp and intramural tournaments round out the soccer experience. Paul Kennedy, our 7th year soccer director, has fashioned a program as engaging as it is rigorous.
