Georgetown Prep Sports Camps
Coed Day Camp
Georgetown Prep Sports Camps are geared towards developing athletes both physically and mentally while building on the essential athletic characteristics of teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Our coaches and instructors have helped develop some of the Washington, DC area's finest athletes - many of whom have gone on to successful collegiate and professional careers. Our sport-specific camp programs were developed out of the belief that there are far too many cookie-cutter summer camp programs in the Washington DC area that offer fun and games but lack the commitment and ability to challenge an athlete to improve in his or her specific sport. We have a year-round staff dedicated to curriculum development and finding the best coaches to teach today's most cutting-edge techniques and developing excellent training programs for each individual camp.
