Kents Hill offers the best of both worlds—a premier sports camp experience, providing girls an opportunity to excel in the sport of their choice, plus all the activities, spirit, and values of a traditional summer camp.
It’s All Here
At Kents Hill, it’s a girls time to shine. With expert instruction, state-of-the-art-facilities, and extraordinary options, Kents Hill gives girls every opportunity to take their skills to the next level and sample new athletic possibilities, all while having more fun than they ever imagined.
We want girls to challenge themselves in their sports and activities, while they are socially engaged in a screen free and inclusive environment, allowing them to feel safe, confident, and empowered. We want them to return home with a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem, both on and off the fields.
In our safe, structured, and spirited environment, campers enhance strengths, discover new interests, and develop the best version of themselves. The camaraderie of our Kents Hill community offers a fun and rewarding camp experience that stays with our campers long after the summer ends!
Expert Coaches & Dedicated Staff
Kents Hill Sports Camp’s hand-picked coaches and staff members are selected for their expertise in their particular sport, and for their passion, commitment, and experience working with young children.
We understand that our campers have selected a major they love and strive to improve in. At Kents Hill Sports Camp, all of our sports directors are collegiate coaches that bring a next level of instruction that is well planned, organized, and will challenge campers of all skill levels. Our coaches will assess each camper’s skills and abilities and set goals for each camper to work on.
While our sports directors do their hard work and training on the fields, our highly skilled female dorm counselors have the dual role of assisting in athletics, and most importantly, living with the campers; providing support, supervision, and care 24 hours a day.
Our counselors are collegiate athletes who are highly motivated and work hard to mentor, inspire, and build trust amongst the campers. Our counselors play the most important role in creating a summer sleepaway experience that your child will cherish for a lifetime.
Our hiring process is extensive, consisting of an interview, multiple reference checks, background and clearance checks, and multiple conversations to ensure each candidate aligns with the values we promote at Kents Hill Sports Camp. All of our staff members participate in a one week staff orientation prior to campers arrival.
Choosing the Right Camp
The premier all-girls sports sleepaway camp in New England
Kents Hill Sports Camp runs two three-week sessions each summer on the beautiful 80-acre lakeside campus of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, about two hours north of Boston. We’re built for girls ages 8 to 16 who love their sport and want to get better at it, while enjoying everything a New England sleepaway camp has to offer.
At Kents Hill, sports come first. Each camper chooses one or two majors from ice hockey, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, tennis, or dance, and trains every day with coaches who have coached at the high school or college level. Most all-girls camps in New England are traditional camps where sports are just one activity among many. We do it the other way around. Your daughter gets real coaching in the sport she loves, with all the spirit and tradition of summer camp built in around it.
