Summer

CitySquash's Summer Program enrolls 75 students ranging in age from 9 to 18.

Day Camp
CitySquash hosts two five-week summer day camps at Fordham University – one for elementary school students, the other for middle school students.  Both camps combine academics, squash and culture.  Enrollment in the day camp includes 40 CitySquash team members and an additional 10 to 15 students from the neighborhood.

Overnight Camps
Most of our team members attend overnight squash, academic and wilderness camps during the summer.  The squash camps most frequently take place at Northeastern colleges, such as Princeton, Wesleyan and the Naval Academy.  The academic programs take place at sites such as Rye Country Day, Kent and Westover.  Outward Bound hosts numerous CitySquashers every year on its courses throughout the country.  Every August, the entire CitySquash program heads north for four days at Camp Monserate in Lake Placid, hosted by the Reiss Family.

Summer Match
Through our own Summer Match program, CitySquash sends team members to live with host families outside the city for weekends or longer.  Summer Match pairings have taken place in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.  15 CitySquashers participated in Summer Match in 2008.

Employment
We provide our high school team members with the opportunity to make money and explore their career interests.  Students are partnered with organizations in industries ranging from financial services to health-care for paid internships, or they are granted jobs with CitySquash.  The program fosters personal and professional growth and ensures that high school CitySquashers are active and engaged during the summer and the school year.
