The 2009 AHC Summer Sports Program

The AHC Summer Program The Academy of the Holy Cross summer program provides athletes with great opportunities to fine tune their individual skills while working with others. This is accomplished through peer and coach assistance and healthy competition in a fun and energetic environment. During the school year, AHC participates in one of the most competitive high school leagues in the nation, the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC). Holy Cross strives to provide summer camps with the same amount of enthusiasm, energy, and education as shown during the year. Attendance at any one of our summer sports camps will improve skills, insight, and pure love of the game.

Depending on the number of campers, the group will be broken down into smaller groups by age (5-7 & 8-10) in order to better teach and entertain your child.
