Camps on campus

Just call it Camp Dartmouth

Plans are in the works for six different sports camps at Dartmouth this summer. Here's a look at them:

Rollie Massimino, head coach at national champion Villanova, will be the featured guest speaker at the Dartmouth boys' basketball camp. Villanova seniors Ed Pinckney and Dwayne McLain are also expected to be there.

The camp, which runs from July 28 to August 2, has been organized by Dartmouth head coach Paul Cormier. It is open to boys aged 8 through 17 and the cost is $225. "It's a perfect setting for a basketball camp and something the community desperately needs," says Cormier. "It will also help expose Dartmouth to good basketball players and help promote basketball in the community."

A girls' basketball camp is also being planned, for June 23 to 29, by Jackie Hullah, head coach of the Dartmouth women's team.

Football coach Joe Yukica and his staff are once again offering the Dartmouth Football Camp for boys entering grades 8 through 12.

The purpose of the six-day camp is to provide participants the opportunity to improve skills and learn football techniques. Instruction is offered in all positions, offense and defense. Double sessions are held Monday through Thursday and single sessions on Sunday and Friday. Football films, lectures, weight training, and academic counseling will be provided during evening sessions. The daily schedule also provides time for campus recreational activities such as swimming, tennis, paddle ball, basketball, and volleyball.

The camp will be held July 28 to August 2 and costs $225. Campers are housed in College residence halls and supervised by camp staff and instructors; all meals are included.

For the fifth consecutive year, Charlie Hoeveler '67 will be bringing a tennis camp for boys and girls to the Dartmouth campus. The Hanover Tennis Camp is operated by Hoeveler's Cali-fornia-based company U.S. Sports Development, Inc. which operates tennis camps across the country.

The tennis camp is open to players aged 9 through 18, and there are weekly sessions running from June 23 to August 17. Campers will receive five hours of tennis instruction a day. There is also time set aside for swimming, hiking, and roller-skating.

The camp brings together tennis-players from all over the country about 45 in each weekly session. The cost is $435 for one week and $830 for two weeks; campers staying three weeks or more can enroll for $395 per week.

Hoeveler, captain of the Dartmouth tennis team as an undergraduate, reflected from his company headquarters in Kentfield, Calif., "I think every Dartmouth alumnus has a dream about doing something with the College in some way. I loved my years at Dartmouth, and I wanted to stay close to the school. We run tennis camps at college facilities like Stanford, the University of California at Santa Barbara, Northwestern, and Williams. We like to go to the high-quality college campuses. The facilities are good, the food is good, and they have a lot of tennis courts. Hanover is a fabulous setting in the summer."

The North Star Lacrosse Camp, yet another Hanover-based enterprise, is for high school girls. Held July 7 to 12, the camp costs $210. Josie Harper, head women's lacrosse coach at Dartmouth, is the camp director. She notes that a $75 deposit is required and is not refundable after May 30. The camp is limited to 60 players.

Youngsters aren't the only ones who can enjoy "camping" at Dartmouth this summer. The Green Mountain Running Camp is open to children and adults from August 11 to 17. Roy Benson '63 and Dartmouth's assistant track and field coach, Vin Lananna, are co-directors of the camp, coming up on its second year. "It's basically a teaching camp for runners of all abilities and levels," says Lananna. "We have everybody from joggers to top national and international competitors."

Last year, the camp attracted about a hundred runners from ages 9 to 57.The ten-person staff includes Barry Brown, the 1984 Veterans Ten-Kilometer Road Racing champion, and Judy St. Hillaire, a former all-America runner. All runners are filmed while training; their technique is then analyzed and racing strategy is discussed. The staff also includes two physicians and a psychologist who cover topics such as sports nutrition and the psychology of running. The cost is $285 for students and $315 for adults.

A few miles outside of Hanover, Dartmouth field hockey coach Mary Corrigan Twyman is offering a field hockey camp for high school players. It will be held from August 23 to 28 at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H. Along with Twyman, the camp staff includes several national and international coaches. This is the fifth year the camp has been offered. The cost is $190.

More information on any of the camps can be obtained from the individual directors. The directors of the camps run by Dartmouth coaches can be reached through the College switchboard, (603) 646-1110, and Hoeveler can be reached at (800) 227-2866.

The women's lacrosse team, with a 4-0 record in mid-April, is off to its best start ever,making a strong move towards a possible Ivy title. Here last season is Verena de Cholnoky'B7 in action against Princeton, which the Green dispatched handily this year, 16-7.
