This camp must comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local board of health.

In Summer 2016, we will be offering Co-ed Multi-Sports, Soccer, Baseball/T-Ball, and Flag Football camps. All camps last one week and we welcome and encourage children to attend as many weeks of camp as possible; many children attend camp for the whole summer. Camp runs from 9.00am-3.00pm each day. Early drop-off (8.00am) and late pick-up (6:00pm) are available every week. Non-Brookline residents are welcome to attend our camps. The coaching and instruction offered at all Viking Sports Camps is intended to meet the needs of players of all ages (grades entering K - entering 7) and skill levels. Children will not only work on individual skill development, but on how to effectively participate on teams, as well. All camps will be 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 undergraduate and graduate college students, athletes, teachers, and established coaches. Every Viking coach is dedicated to helping children learn and play sports. 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.

All players should apply sunscreen at home before coming to camp and should bring a bottle of sunscreen to camp so that coaches can remind them to reapply it in the afternoon; Viking Sports Camps will also have sunscreen available for players who forget to bring their own. Players that bring cleats must also bring sneakers in case we play inside the gymnasium or on the basketball court.
