The largest provider of youth sports programs in the country is coming to Orcas Island.

The Skyhawks Multi-Sports Camp provides opportunities for participants to gain experience in several sports: soccer, baseball, and basketball. There is no pressure, just lots of fun, while young athletes participate in all three sports through unique Skyhawks games, says Didier Gincig, Orcas Island Recreation Program Director. “This popular sports camp has been part of the San Juan Island and Lopez Island summer programs for several years and has had terrific success. This will be the second year on Orcas Island.”

The camp for boys and girls ages 7-12 runs during the first week of public school vacation, June 23-27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Buck Park; children who need childcare until 5 p.m. will have supervision until then.

Registration forms can be downloaded at www.orcasrec.org. The summer guide to all Orcas Island Recreation Program activities are available at the public library and at the Rec. Program office in the Senior Center. For more information or for scholarship assistance, call 376-5339.
