About Bridgton Sports Camp

Camper review — basketball program, fundamentals, applied to home season

It is truly a privilege for me to play and train with an amazing coach & staff. In a short 3 week session, I learn so much from basic fundamentals to a new offensive play or perfecting a zone defense. Everything that I learn I take back to NY with me and apply it during the season. Drew (6-year camper from NY)

Traditions & shared moments

Color War tradition

Color War is one of those BSC traditions that completely changes the energy. The campers are split into two teams, and suddenly every game, challenge, and activity becomes a chance to earn points for their team. You can feel the excitement everywhere.

Independence, growth & leadership

Camper review — soccer, confidence and thinking on the field

BSC has not only improved my soccer technique, but it has also improved the way I think. I always feel like a new and improved player after every summer at camp. The coaching staff gives me the confidence I need to achieve my goals for the upcoming season. Evan (4-year camper from NY)

Director's vision — safe, structured, growth-focused experience

At Bridgton Sports Camp, I have taken those core traditional camp values and developed a comprehensive three-week experience during which your child will receive top notch sports instruction, enjoy choice based activities, and grow as a person in a safe, fun, and structured environment.

Programs & camp life

Dorm accommodations — age-grouped, matched roommates

We live in dorm rooms at Bridgton Sports Camp. Each dorm floor is age appropriate and we make sure that each camper is paired with a boy of similar likes and personality. This is what makes camp so much fun. You can also room with a friend if you want. We have common areas in the dorms where all campers can hang out together.
