This comprehensive volume is unique in that it addresses a field virtually ignored in the genre of sports and coaching literature - directing and organizing sports camps and summer recreation programs. In that it is invaluable for aspiring camp and recreation program directors, not to mention veteran directors seeking new and innovative ideas. The source for this work is Richard Trimble, a camp director with a cumulative total of over 100 years in operating successful recreation programs and instructional camps for baseball and hockey. He has directed sleep-over camps, one-day instructional clinics and week-long camps as well as six-week summer youth programs. The book also delves into basketball, soccer, cheerleading, lacrosse, softball and large-scale "multi-plex" camps. The author interviewed over a dozen camp directors in these fields to obtain necessary insights. It's all here: registration procedures, handling disciplinary issues, medical concerns, liability, staffing, communication with parents and of course, activity ideas that work and warnings about those that do not. Frankly, nothing like this book exists anywhere out there and as such, it is new, exciting and even necessary.
