During the process of registering for the program, a camper must select which activity they want for a given Period. Each clinic may only be chosen once.
Our camp is designed to offer participants an opportunity to enjoy activities of their choice while benefiting from technique and skill development. All clinics are conducted by Holy Cross faculty members or other adult professionals with expertise in the clinic area.
Math Workshop
This workshop offers a variety of computer experiences valuable to all participants whether they are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in computer skills. Utilizing Dell PC’s, the goal of the Computer Workshop is to begin and/or continue a student’s education regarding the use of computer technology and the internet as an educational tool. Emphasis is placed on computer skills for students of all abilities.
Draw, paint, sculpt, be creative and have a blast in the Art Workshop. If you like to explore your imagination and create, this is the place for you. A wide range of two- and three-dimensional materials will be available for you to explore your creativity.
This clinic includes introduction into several musical instruments and chorus. A music instructor will guide students into a high level of musical performance.
Karate Clinic
The Karate Clinic is intended to promote good character in its participants. Self-discipline, confidence and compassion are the focus for the instruction of this strong martial art. Students learn basic self-defense, form and sparring with minimal contact to ensure respect of the individual. In addition, cross training is sometimes utilized in order to reinforce the movements vital to the practice of Karate.
This clinic focuses on the basic moves that are essential to developing a sound wrestling foundation. In addition, various games will be conducted that enhance the skills needed to succeed in this ancient sport.
Football Clinic
Interested in football and the conditioning to prepare to play the sport? Come join members of the Tiger Football coaching staff. Football skills such as passing, catching, blocking, and receiving are taught from the ground up. Our staff also teaches the proper way to use conditioning and agility drills. Don’t miss out on learning the skills and techniques necessary to increase your enjoyment of the game of football.
Develop and improve your basketball skills in the Basketball Clinic. Daily sessions will include instruction and practice on the fundamentals of the game as well as 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 games. If you are serious about your game, then this is the clinic for you.
Are you looking for some fun and excitement from the game of baseball? Experience some the latest techniques and skills as members of the Holy Cross Baseball Staff take you through different phases of the game. Learn to improve such skills as hitting, bunting, pitching, catching, infield play, outfield play, and base running. Baseball has never been more rewarding as you learn and expand upon the skills of the game.
Soccer requires skill, discipline, speed, stamina, and team effort. But unlike football, basketball, and hockey, soccer does not require exceptional strength or height. The Soccer Clinic focuses on skills development through individualized and team training. The intention of this clinic is to help each boy and girl strive to reach his or her individual potential for the game.
Boys and Girls will be allowed to learn basic cheerleading and dance fundamentals including: tumbling, pyramid building, etc. Students will also perform cheerleading and dance routines.
