Hello. I am seeking people who are interested in starting a sports camp. I am working on establishing a camp from scratch within the next 5 years. I have one person who is on board with me right now. I am looking to start a athletic training program for athletes between 10-18. I am looking to have at least 5 or 6 administrative staff, as I want to be coaching and the other administrators coaching, in addition to their other duties. The program is designed around improving one's athletic ability; however, I am going to keep the ties of a traditional summer camp. I will be using trips as a builder for self discipline, leadership, camradry, team work, etc. as well as have your traditional evening programs.
