The camp allows elementary and middle school kids to play a variety of sports with

Watkins Mill High School coaches and athletes. The campers do a different sport

everyday โ€“ sports and activities include football, baseball, lacrosse, soccer field

hockey, basketball, cheer, wrestling, poms, drama, and drum line. โ€œItโ€™s a great way

for kids to explore activities they might never have tried,โ€ said camp director Lydia

Leecost. โ€œThey discover hidden talents they never knew they had.โ€

The camp is also a perfect way for kids to get comfortable with the high school.

โ€œSome kids have been going to this camp for four years now,โ€ said Sabrina Murray,

camp co-director. โ€œBy the time they come to Watkins Mill they know everybody,

they know their way around campus, they know the coaches, they know

upperclassmen. They feel confident and ready for high school.โ€

March to the Mill runs June 15 - 19 and 22 - 26, 10:30 AM through 3:30 PM. Cost is

$99 per session or $189ย for both sessions.

Every camper gets a free tee shirt and pinnie and free admission with a paying adult

to select Watkins Mill football games and other sporting events. A limited number of

scholarships are available. Those interested in camp scholarships should contact

their school principals.
