At the YMCA we offer a wide variety of camps and clinics for the youth in our community! Kids of all skill levels will have the opportunity to learn and participate in our camps and clinics every year! Our goal is to help kids explore the many different sports and develop a love and passion for their favorites! These camps and clinics teach skill building, development, teamwork, and allow kids to find what sport their passionate about!
The Hastings Family YMCA also works hard to bring in athletes from around the state to mentor and host camps at our local YMCA. This provides youth with opportunities to learn from the best and create lasting memories. Check out our camps and clinics listed below.
The 4 week/4 session clinic will be run and taught by the Hastings College volleyball team. The clinic will teach kids the game and work on the fundamentals, while interacting with volleyball players and coaches. All levels of skill are welcome and all will get something out of the clinic.
The YMCA youth soccer clinic, partnered with the Hastings College Men's and Women's soccer teams, is programmed to build skills, introduce the inexperienced to the sport, and develop current skills for the experienced. The clinic will be taught by HC coaches and players, giving participants hands-on experience and instruction. This program is intended to get participants "warmed-up" for the upcoming youth soccer league in the Spring. The kids will be divided by age at the clinic.
Looking for something fun, exciting, and unique to do this summer? The Sports Sampler Camp is a big hit every summer as participants will "sample" 10 different sports throughout the week. This camp is for fun, to make new friends, be active, and try out new sports! The camp will include discussions on our core values and opportunities for campers to recognize the good character in each other at the end of camp. The camp will feature: soccer, volleyball, football, basketball, track & field, swimming, bowling, tennis, golf, cheer, baseball/softball, wrestling, and more! No equipment is needed. Just grab your buddies and have fun! The camp includes pizza on the final day.
"My kids loved going to the Sports Sampler Camp. They got to experience some new sports they had never tried before and made some new friends as well. I looked forward to picking them up each day to hear about which sport they enjoyed the best and the fun memories that were made!" - Danielle Hultman
Join us for 4 weeks on Sunday afternoons as current Hastings College athletes will lead an interactive and hands-on clinic to introduce basketball to the inexperienced and help develop skills to the experienced. This clinic will teach the fundamentals of basketball to beginners (how to dribble, shoot, pass, etc.) and build current skills to the experienced (dribbling without using eyes, proper shooting form, technique, etc.). All levels of skill are encouraged to attend! Parent participation is requested.
