Salem Philosophy

Salem Academy is committed to providing a secure, structured, enthusiastic environment for youngsters of all ages. The Academy’s professional staff and counselors will run the day to day operation of the camp utilizing their personal skills and talents to make sure that the campers have an enjoyable and productive learning experience. A strict camper/counselor ratio of no more than seven campers to one instructor provides individual attention while in a group learning situation. A variety of sports will be introduced. Activities will be geared to ensure that campers will improve motor skills, eye-hand coordination and sports knowledge, preparing them for a lifetime of both individual and team competition. The strength of Salem’s Sports Camp is its plan to meet the individual needs of campers while building character and increasing confidence.

Facilities

Salem Academy has some of the finest facilities to be found in any one location. Our camp will be based on the Academy soccer field. The lawn behind the soccer field will have a tent with picnic tables and will serve as camp headquarters. Additionally, the grassy area behind the soccer field will be used for archery, frisbee, and other lawn games. Salem also houses two full air conditioned indoor gymnasiums. Campers will have access to our 25 yard indoor pool for daily swimming instruction with use of full locker room and bathroom facilities. Tennis instruction will take place on our brand new tennis facility. A golf range is located on the field beside the tennis courts.
