FAQs

Our campers range in age from 8-16 and are from all over the world. A Kents Hill Sports Camper wants a full camp experience packed into a shorter session. All of our campers have different ability levels, but they all love their major activity and are looking for a mix of instruction, games, and competition.

We allow our campers to select the activities they want to participate in. Our campers “major” in the sport of their choice, allowing them to be grouped with girls of similar interests. After they select an assortment of minors (over 20 to choose from) they receive a customized weekly schedule. Campers also have 2 elective periods daily, allowing them to try new sports and activities.

Our coaches have either been college athletes or coaches on the high school or collegiate level. Our dorm counselors are college age students or older and are from all over the country. They have strong morals and values and experience working with children. All of our staff members undergo an extensive hiring process.

We live in dorm rooms at Kents Hill Sports Camp. Each dorm floor is age appropriate and we make sure that each camper is paired with a girl of similar likes and personality. We also honor room requests if you come to camp with a friend. There are bathrooms and showers on each floor and each dorm has common areas where the campers can hang out together.

The food is awesome! We think that choice is important at all meals. Breakfast will have a hot option (pancakes, french toast, eggs, etc.) along with daily cereal, fruit, and oatmeal. Lunch and dinner will serve an entree (protein), along with a full salad bar, a pasta option, and homemade soups daily. We have a weekly cookout where campers can eat outside on the deck of the brand new dining hall.

Sports are obviously a big part of camp, but we have so many other things going on as well! We offer an extensive choice of minor activities, such as waterskiing, fitness, arts & crafts, archery, and yoga to name a few. We also go on trips to amusement and waterparks, white water rafting, and a minor league baseball game. Our in camp special activities include campfires (complete with s’mores), carnival, and color war.

We always have a fun evening activity which is grouped by division. Before bed, each camper receives a snack and can hang out in their dorm lobbies.

Campers call home once a week and we encourage parents to call camp anytime for a progress report. Campers also have mandatory letter writing once per week.

We have a resident nurse who is with us the entire summer (24 hours a day). The urgent care center and hospital are located 20 minutes away from camp. We also utilize tele-health physician visits.

No phones, tablets, or personal devices. For three weeks, a camper’s attention goes to her teammates, her coach, and the game in front of her instead of a screen. Camp provides iPods and speakers for music on the fields and in the dorms, so nobody’s missing out on that. Most parents notice their daughter is more present with the family in the first week home, before the phone habit creeps back in.

We encourage families to meet our directors. Please contact us anytime with questions. A virtual information session with a camp director can be scheduled soon (contact us in the meantime). Home visits are available as well. You can also request info and we will send you a camp brochure.
