School's Out! (Camp's In!)

The kids are finally out of school and before they get a chance to utter those annoying words, ‘I’m bored,’ they’ll be off to summer camp.

The Woodbridge Recreation Department’s Summer Day Camp for children ages 6-13 started June 27 and runs through August 6 in six weeklong sessions at Beecher South School from 9 a.m. until noon weekdays.

The town’s preschool summer day camp, for children 3 to 5 years old, runs from 9 a.m. until noon June 27-Aug. 6 at Beecher North.

A before-camp program is available daily from 7:30–8:45 a.m. Fee is $5 per day and is open only to campers entering grades 1-8. Pre-registration and pre-payment is necessary.

Youth Sports Camp

The Woodbridge Recreation Department runs three sports camps—boys baseball, girls basketball and girls softball—for kids 8-14 from Bethany, Orange & Woodbridge.

Sports camp is held in two weeklong sessions at Amity Regional High School:

During Week 1, July 11–15, girls softball camp runs from 1-4 p.m. Cost is $150.

From July 11th – 20th, boys baseball camp runs from 9 a.m. to noon and costs $250.

During Week 2, July 18-22, girls basketball camp will be directed by Michelle Martinik, Amity High School’s basketball head coach from 1-4 p.m. Cost is $150.

Amity Softball Head Coach Robert Purcell and Assistant Softball Coach Lindsey Costano will run the softball camp and Amity baseball coaches Sal Coppola, Jeff Rotteck and Brendan Moss, along with coaches from West Haven, Wilbur Cross and Hand High Schools will run the boys baseball activities.

Amity Youth Sports Camps are designed to provide children with the basic skills and fundamentals necessary to become proficient in that sport. Emphasis on sportsmanship and fair play, as well as an understanding of rules, scoring and various situations associated with the game will be taught.
