Skyhawks Sports provides 12 different sports camps and clinics for children ages 3 to 12 in venues across the Puget Sound. Some camps focus on a single sport, such as lacrosse, while others include a variety of sports, such as baseball, basketball, and soccer, all in one program. Each camp includes instruction from experienced coaches who are certified by their respective organizations. Camps run for five days at various locations across the Puget Sound region, including Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, and Lake Forest Park. Participants stay in local hotels near the training sites. Camps cost $300 to $500 per child. Registration deadlines vary by camp, so check with each facility directly to see if there is still room in this year's camp class. Many families that can't afford the cost of sports camps may be eligible for financial aid through their schools or youth sports organizations. Please consult with your school or organization's guidance counselor to learn more about available funding programs. Also known as sports academies, many camps offer extensive training facilities and team uniforms free of charge. Teams often consist of younger siblings of current campers or younger children from nearby communities who are looking to develop their skills ahead of schedule due to age or lack of experience. In addition to offering athletic training, many camps teach life skills such as time management, goal setting, and teamwork.
