Director's Note to Campers
"We are so excited to be hosting Nike Field Hockey Camp again this summer at Mount Holyoke College. This year will be particularly special as those campers will be the first to compete on our brand-new turf field. We have a wonderful staff who are eager to get the dust off their sticks, whistles ready, while getting back to hockey fundamentals and scrimmaging. Camp should be the best part of the summer as we will hone your skills but also provide balance and encourage fun and excitement with friends new and old. Night scrimmages under the lights and Mini-Olympics tend to be the favorites of camp and that will be a highlight for the coaching staff as well. We look forward to hosting you and coaching you to be the best player you can be!" - Andy Whitcomb

SCHOLARSHIPS
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Ceci had a blast at Nike Field Hockey Camp at Mt Holyoke! She loved the coaching staff (very positive) and improved her field hockey skills during her 4 days at camp. On her first day, she realized her age group was still in the learning stages of field hockey and her coach allowed her to move up to the higher age group which proved to be an excellent move. Also, Ceci and her friends from home said the food was GREAT! Ceci has been to quite a few field hockey camps and she said the camp at Mt Holyoke was the BEST!! Thank you.

Ability to learn from more experienced players, meet new friends
My daughter had tons of fun at the camp, she found which areas she wanted to focus on more while also improving what skills she already had significantly.
Nike Camps are great. The instructional staff is always wonderful. They always find a group of counselors that are full of talent. You gain a great deal of knowledge and experience at these camps.
This is an educational and fun camp where the counselors are dedicated to making all aspects of camp life enjoyable and giving personal attention to campers to improve their skills and game sense. This is a great camp, on and off the field!
“This camp is a great camp for all levels of field hockey players. Combining and playing with girls of all ages and skill levels, challenges the younger kids and lets the older kids fine tune their skills. Without being too physically demanding, this camp improves and teaches new skills effectively and offers time to play/understand game situations.”
I loved the mini Olympics, and generally just getting to work on my leadership skills on and off the field. I made so many good friends, and am so lucky to have gotten this opportunity.
She enjoyed meeting new people. Loved the skills and drills. She was sore every day but in a good way. Thought the food was good.
A highlight would be when she was able to play with the staff during the scrimmages. It pushed her abilities even more and gave an insight to collegiate level play.
Nike field hockey camp was a blast! As an intermediate player, I was able to work on my stick skills and gain better vision as to where my skills are needed on the field. I would definitely return to camp in the future!

This was Madeline's first time at a sport camp and she enjoyed it immensely. She is already planning on going back next year and rooming in a triple with some of her new friends.
She enjoyed meeting new people. Loved the skills and drills. She was sore every day but in a good way. Thought the food was good.
