Multi-Sports Vacation Camps

For our Multi-Sports Camps, we introduce kids to a variety of sports, games, and activities. Our games are simple to learn and really fun to play. We like to introduce kids to games that they in turn can bring home and play with their friends. This approach allows kids to focus more on playing and having fun versus listening to a laundry list of rules and watching elaborate set ups. Games we play include (but are not limited to):

Viking Camp Details

The coaching and instruction offered at all Viking Sports Camps is intended to meet the needs of players of all ages and skill levels. Children will not only work on individual skill development, but on how to effectively participate on teams. All of our camps are co-ed. The philosophy at all Viking camps is safety, good sportsmanship, and fun.

Viking Sports Camp Coaches

All coaches are carefully selected based on their enthusiasm, professionalism, and experience. Our pool of highly qualified coaches includes athletes, teachers, established coaches, and undergraduate and graduate college students. Every Viking coach is dedicated to helping children learn and play sports. Our coaches & CITs serve as role models for campers. Positive relationships between coaches and campers build confidence and self-esteem. The coach to camper ratio complies with Massachusetts Health Department guidelines and is as follows: 1 coach per 5 campers for children 6 and under; 1 coach per 10 campers for children 7 and older.

A Typical Daily Schedule

Note: Every group takes multiple water, shade, and sunscreen breaks throughout the day

What To Bring To Camp

All players should bring appropriate clothing for the climate and to participate in a fun day of sports. All campers should bring a light snack, plenty of drinks, and a packed lunch to camp. Although water will be provided, campers must bring their own water bottle.

Theme Days

Sometimes during the camp week we may feature a theme day. Participation is optional, but the day is always a lot of fun. Our photographer also captures the day to share the memories with you.

Here are a few of our past Theme Day ideas:

American Pride: (for the week of the fourth of July)  dress in red white and blue ‘cuz you’re proud to be an American where at least you know you’re free.

Jersey Day: GO PATRIOTS! Show your team pride by wearing your favorite sports jersey or dressing as your favorite sports pro!

Character Day: What a crazy cast of characters you’ll meet on this day with everyone dressed as their favorite TV, book, video game, or movie character.

Super Thursday:  Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Viking campers dressed as their favorite superhero or super villian.  Some you may recognize and some may be new ones imagined by the camper themselves. Just remember with great power comes great responsibility.
