EAST STROUDSBURG - Applications are now being accepted for the 2008 Warrior Sports Camps that will be held this summer at East Stroudsburg University.

Team, week long, weekend and day sport camps are offered in 14 sports - baseball, boys and girls basketball, cross country, field hockey, football, lacrosse, softball, soccer, swimming, tennis, track & field, volleyball and wrestling. Improving the camper's skills, along with providing a fun and safe environment, are important aspects of each camp.

Between 1,200 and 1,500 campers participate in Warrior Sports Camps each year and receive instruction from top collegiate and high school coaches while experiencing a week on the ESU campus.

Campers choosing the overnight option will live in the university residence halls. All campers will have all you can eat meals in the dining hall, 24 hour campus police coverage and access to the weight room and pool in Koehler Fieldhouse.

"I am proud that the Warrior Sports Camps offer participation opportunities in a wide variety of sports for the elementary and high school students in our area," said Dr. Tom Gioglio, Director of Athletics. "The campers will receive top notch instruction in a first-class college environment, and their participation will be extremely rewarding as they continue their athletic experiences."
