SummerOnCampus provides description and contact information for hundreds of sports camps in 30 categories on college campuses throughout New York State.

(PRWEB) April 15, 2004--Attending a sport camp is not only for kids who want to improve and perfect skills, but also for kids who want to learn a brand new skill or practice one when none of his or her schoolmates is watching!

For junior high and high school kids thinking of playing a college sport and maybe hoping for a sports scholarship, remember that college coaches often conduct their own camps, from which they recruit players!

Recognizing a trend for focused summer sports camps, NEW YORK COLLEGES are taking advantage of their wonderful sports facilities to offer instruction to kids 8-18 during the summer months. The options are endless and New York State leads the country in hosting the largest number of summer sports camps in the nation! There are literally hundreds of sports camps right in New York State and most of these can be found in a free, online directory,

www.SummerOnCampus.com, where visitors can choose a camp by specific activity, town, or college. The directory is updated continually throughout the year.

The types of sports programs listed in this directory are as varied as the kids who participate in them. There are 30 different sports categories, and along with all the conventional options like baseball, basketball and soccer, there are some less typical choices like backpacking, ropes course, and rock climbing.
