In 2017, Moorestown Friends School Summer Programs will work in collaboration with a number of highly reputable sports academies —  Moorestown Tennis Club, Universal Soccer Academy, and Zeljkovic Fencing Academy —  to offer expert sports instruction, training, and fun to area youngsters. These professionals specifically work with children to develop training programs that feed their mental and physical spirit. These programs are more than skills camps. Instructors will talk about health, nutrition, training, and recovery.

“We are thrilled to be working with these academies to offer high-quality sports programming throughout the summer,” said Director of Auxiliary Programs Martha Cameron.

Also offered are Flag Football and Basketball clinics along with swimming instruction.

Soccer and tennis programs are available for students entering K-9. Fencing programs are available for students entering Grades 4-6, and flag football and basketball are available for students entering Grades 3-8. Availability varies from week to week. MFS Summer Programs run from June 26 – August 11.
