This summer, three hundred students from the Carle Place School District and the surrounding area joined Carle Place’s Summer Sports Camps. For 29 years, Carle Place High School has hosted its successful basketball summer camp. This year, the Carle Place School District’s Athletic Department expanded its summer sports offerings to include five new camps – baseball, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer and tennis.

Geared toward students entering grades 3-10, all the sport-specific camps are held at Carle Place High School for a full week where they are led by Carle Place coaches, Carle Place High School student-athletes and alumni. The summer began with girls and boys lacrosse camps during the week of July 3 and will conclude with girls field hockey camp during the week of Aug. 14. Throughout the program, campers learn the meaning of hard work while being taught the fundamentals of their respective sport and building upon their skills. In addition, they get to know high school coaches, make new friends, stay active and have fun while school is out.

“Our 2023 Summer Sports Camps have been a great success and the support of the community has been a dream come true,” said Carle Place Athletic Director James San Filippo. “I am so excited that we were able to make this happen for our Next Generation of Frogs. The summer camps have allowed our community the opportunity to try different sports that some student-athletes may have never played. With this opportunity, our goal is to have our campers fall in love with the sports and to create healthy, lifelong habits. In the future we are looking to expand and add some more camps.”
