Summer at HGP

Summer enrichment

HGP's Summer Enrichment Program will take place on-campus, with live instruction.  We reserve the right to adjust should conditions require a move to online instruction.

Enrichment will include instruction in Math, English, Science, Activities and a weekly focus class.

The day begins at 9:00am and ends at 2:00pm.

All activities will take place in air conditioned rooms with appropriate ventilation or outside.  Students will be required to wear a face covering at all times when inside or not able to socially distance outside.

Students will need to bring their own snacks and lunch.  We are working on a plan that might include lunch service and will provide that information as soon as it is available.

Week 1 - June 28 to July 2

Week 2 - July 12 to July 16

Week 3 - July 19 to July 23

Legendary Holy Ghost Prep head coach Tony Chapman (901 career wins and counting) will conduct his 40th camp with the aid of the HGP coaching staff, plus current and former HGP players.  Both boys and girls are invited and the camp staff will consist of both male and female counselors. Campers should come dressed to play. Individual instruction, a personal evaluation, and an emphasis on fundamentals will be the focus of the camp.  Past guest lecturers have included University of Michigan assistant coach Phil Martelli and former Temple University head coach Fran Dunphy. Come check out our Basketball Camp - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !

Varsity head baseball coach Greg Olenski is joined by the HGP coaching staff and current and former varsity players to direct and counsel at the HGP Baseball Camp this summer.  The methods and skill building techniques that we use at camp establish the fundamentals necessary to prepare the camper for his maximum achievement level. To that end, five former players are currently playing at Division I colleges and our 2016 graduate, Nolan Jones, is chasing his dreams in the Cleveland Indians organization.  Individual instruction and team competition highlight each day culminating in the popular skills competition on Friday. Join the fun.

 

The purpose of this camp is to develop the skills of individual boys and girls within the concepts of teamwork and sportsmanship. Our goal is to help each player improve his or her skills and knowledge of the game and to help them be the best player they can be. Morning sessions will focus on individual instruction such as foot skills and small-sided play. The afternoon sessions will focus on futsal, team play, and competitions. Each camper will receive a camp T-shirt.

Players are required to wear shin guards and soccer cleats. Please dress appropriately for the warm weather. Sneakers should be packed and brought each day for activities in the field house.

HGP camp director and associate head coach David Simpson holds licenses from the USSF, NSCAA, Coerver Coaching, Brazilian CBF, Scottish FA and UEFA. Simpson has coached at various levels throughout the USA and Europe including State & Regional ODP, NCAA Division I, ODP National Champions, Assistant Director of Coaching Youth Club as well as boys and girls high school teams. Simpson is joined by HGP varsity head coach Ken Lawson and freshman head coach Amanda Kirby.

HGP’s Learn to Row camp will introduce campers who are rising 6th- 11th graders, boys or girls, to the basics of rowing. Rowing is HGP’s newest sport and has grown tremendously in five years, placing all athletes in the top ten in the City in their first year and sending two athletes to Division I schools with a scholarship in its second.

Campers will learn the fundamentals of boat handling, terminology, a high school training and racing season, and of course how to row! We’ll erg and row on the sheltered, calm waters of Lake Luxembourg in Core Creek Park where Holy Ghost Prep and Villa Joseph Marie HS practice during the year. Coaches include HGP’s head coach Allison Boehm, assistant coaches John and Anna, as well as current athletes and alums.

(Campers interested in Learn to Row with HGP must be able to tread water for 10minutes or swim)

Holy Ghost Prep’s Ultimate Frisbee Head Coach Tom Croskey is hosting a week-long

Ultimate Frisbee camp this summer for all levels of play. With the help of current

players and alumni, camp participants will have the opportunity to learn everything

necessary to play and compete at the highest level of one of the fastest growing team

sports in America. No experience is necessary.

 

Counselors will teach everyone how to flick, huck, cut, mark, stack, and run a few

different zone defenses. Take this opportunity to learn the basics, to enjoy the feeling

of running down a long floating disc, or to get a head start on competitive high

school Ultimate Frisbee.

HGP's summer lacrosse camp, directed by Ryan Tessler, features past HGP alums who compete at the collegiate level will also be there as counselors, offering expertise in defense, dodging, shooting, faceoffs, goalie play and stick skills.  Our coaching staff will be supervising the camp.

Many players from our program have gone on to compete at the Division 1, Division 3 and MCLA levels. We have had two alums in Brett Manney '04 and Greg Wozniak '13 go professional in the sport. Campers will get a glimpse at the HGP varsity experience learning from counselor demos, drills, video and competition.

All campers should provide their own equipment including: helmet, gloves, elbow pads, shoulder pads, stick, cleats/sneakers, water bottle, and a mouth guard
