Some information about 6 Points Sports Academy:
6 Points Sports Academy is located in beautiful Asheville, NC on the state-of-the-art athletic and camp facilities of Asheville School – which is widely regarded as the most beautiful boarding overnight camp facilities in the Southern part of the United States.
We are so proud of our growth – we opened in 2010 with 60 campers, and now, every summer we welcomed over 850 campers to our facility to assist them in reaching their goals of becoming better athletes, Jews, and humans. At 6 Points, athletes from 37 different states and 8 different countries participate in a unique camping experience that offers top-level sports coaching and all the beloved traditions of overnight camping. Within our kind and nurturing community, campers form friendships for life while feeding their passion for their chosen sport - and achieve a higher quality of life as young Jewish athletes.
6 Points campers are entering 4th - 11th grade girls and boys who are looking to improve their skill level, meet new friends and explore their own Jewish identity (you do not need to be Jewish to work at camp). During each day of our two-week long session, campers participate in 4 hours of intensive skill development in one chosen sport (their sports major) and 2 hours of electives.
Our coaching staff is made up of enthusiastic and competent professionals who are deeply committed to the athletes, colleagues, and values that we build in our community!
