The Summer Blast Day Camp will run from July 31-August 3. Campers between the ages of 7 and 13 will be split into two teams, red and white, and will compete in a week-long series of challenges to earn points. Some of the activities will include basketball, flag football, a scavenger hunt, whiffle ball derby and a three-legged race, among many others. The athletic challenges and logic games will stress sportsmanship, camaraderie and fun.

Men’s soccer coach Steve Axtell will host the Leadership Development Seminar for athletes in grades 9-12 on July 22. The seminar will help high school-age athletes create a culture among their peers, focus on goal-setting and how to build bridges between coaches and teammates.

The camps are guided by SUNY Cortland’s coaches and student athletes on the College’s 51 acres of state-of-the-art facilities.
