Summer Sports & STEAM Camps on Long Island

COVID-19 UPDATE: For the Summer 2020 season, Future Stars at St.Joseph’s College in Patchogue, has worked hard to ensure we can offer a safe version of our programming. Some changes have been necessary, activities will not look the same, and not all programs will operate, but we are prepared to provide a fun and welcoming environment this summer!
Programs will follow a modified half day schedule 9am-12:30pm. The adjusted schedule will follow NYS and CDC Guidelines for 'Day Camps' and 'Youth Sports - Return to Play'. Coaches will prioritize activities that maintain physical distancing, whilst allowing campers to work on their skills in a safe and fun environment.
Registered campers will be sent additional info on program protocols, daily schedule, and other pertinent details prior to the start of the program.
Limited program enrollment will be available for online registration ONLY, and you can CLICK HERE to Enroll.
Just like any other year, our experienced staff of coaches and educators will work to teach, inspire, and motivate each and every camper on a daily basis.
