The Coaches & Teachers Assistant Program (CTAP) combines the fun of being a participant with important life skills such as leadership, personal development, team-work, and communication; all under the watchful eyes of our experienced educators and coaches.
Working with guidance from our camp and program director(s), CTAP participants will observe and assist in all aspects of the camp program and daily activities, whilst receiving performance feedback in a constructive environment, helping to build self-confidence and interpersonal skills.
CTAP participants will be assigned a program for a given camp session from the CTAP director and camp administrative staff. Program placement can/will vary through the summer to provide a well-balanced experience, and although requests can be made, there are no guarantees for specific program placement for all enrolled weeks, but we will do our best to ensure a great experience.

Who are your staff members?

What are the ratios?
Typically, between 8-10:1. Exceptions are Tennis (6:1) and Little Stars (4:1)
What happens during inclement weather?
Camp still runs as planned. If possible, we prefer to have our programs continue with their normal programming. However, if and when inclement weather mandates we go indoors, we have ample indoor space to utilize at main campus. Occasionally, the multi-sport program will take off-site trips on rainy days, such as bowling, air-trampoline, etc.
What happens on really hot days?
Our experienced coaching staff will take additional water/shade breaks throughout the day. There are shaded areas and tents around the athletic fields where groups can rest between activities. Campers are able to cool-off by our misting fans or even take a quick run through the sprinklers that we turn on. Pool time and/or Water Park time would also be extended for that day, not to mention access to air-conditioned indoor space.

Future Stars have use of St.Joseph's University pool during the summer camp season.
Campers have a recreational swim every day for about 45 minutes. Rising Stars and youngest Multi-Sports campers will also receive instructional swim each day.
Campers participating in the programs at the Outdoor Field Complex, a school bus provides transportation to and from the main campus for the campers and coaches.
Pool safety is taken very seriously, and the pool staff is highly qualified and carry numerous accolades and certifications, including WSI, Lifeguard Management, Lifeguard, First-Aid, and CPR_AED for the Professional Rescuer. They are involved in the 'Learn to Swim' program throughout the year.
Every Monday, each new camper is swim tested to determine level and ability, with regular buddy checks taken by our pool staff.
In addition to the pool, we also host our 'Future Stars Water Park' at the main campus field. At least three times a week, there will be inflatable water slides for campers to enjoy.
Registered campers must bring their own lunch at the St.Joes site. Please pack lunch in a cooler type bag, as there is no refrigeration for lunches. All campers will eat in the air conditioned cafeteria located inside O'Connor Hall on the main campus.
There are plenty of drinking water fountains throughout campus, in addition to vending machines should your camper wish to purchase a drink during the day.
We are committed to being a 'nut-free' camp, so please make every effort to avoid packing foods that include nut products.
