Swimming
The objective for our swim program is to teach every camper not only how to
swim, but also safety areas and other techniques to improve someone's technique
that may already know how to swim. Kids will be bused to Rome High School at
least two days a week and will have instruction in several areas including gliding
and kicking techniques, arm action techniques, safety precautions in and around
Canoeing Canoeing is a special treat here at Georgia Highlands College. A lot of kids in this area to do not get to experience the adventures of canoeing unless they attend camp. Our Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguards instruct canoeing. Throughout the 25 days of camp, campers learn different components of canoeing such as life jacket responsibility, boarding canoes from a dock, different types of strokes, and safety tips. Canoeing takes place on Georgia Highlands College's beautiful Paris Lake. Campers participate in canoeing at least two days at week.

Soccer Soccer is a growing sport in the United States and one that a lot of underprivileged kids do not get exposure to. Here at NYSP, we like to offer sports that are not as familiar to these kids and sports that may not be offered in many high schools and give them the opportunity to experience something out of the ordinary. These kids get the chance to learn and play soccer on a standardized college soccer field over looking beautiful Paris Lake. Campers learn such skills as trapping, passing, shooting, dribbling, headers, and game strategy. Campers also have the opportunity to participate is actual games versus other groups and learn the value of teamwork.
The objective of our tennis program is to expose these campers to a lifelong
sport that they can participate in and improve their fitness.
Volleyball Volleyball is offered to students in the afternoons and is split with tennis, depending on the group's schedule. Campers are taught two different versions of volleyball, indoor and beach. Beach volleyball is a new addition to our sports curriculum. During volleyball, campers learn such objectives as bumps, sets, spikes, rotation, passes, and strategy. With the new addition of two state of the art beach volleyball courts, Georgia Highlands College as been able to bring more joy to the campers and also a new way of playing the sport.
