All five of our summer camps for grades 3-9 are located at Apex Athletics in Peabody, MA. There are clinic opportunities for our grades K-2 group at Hardwood Hustle all summer long. Please look at our website for availability or email us!

If your child can’t attend the camp for any reason, including schedule conflicts, last-minute injuries, a concussion, an unexpected illness, or a family emergency, you will receive a 100% credit for camp fees paid that can be applied to a future camp, transferred to a friend, or donated to an another family.

Committed to compliance, our camp adheres to the regulations set by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and is licensed by the local board of health. We've implemented strict sign-in and pick-up policies. All participants and their families will receive camp safety policies and guidelines before the first day of camp.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own snacks and lunch each day. We will have allocated time during the camp for a lunch and recovery period. During the recovery period of each camp, participants will have the opportunity to purchase snacks and drinks to enjoy.

Parents are allowed to watch their children at any point during the day.

We divide participants into groups based on age first. Then, participants are evaluated by the coaching staff throughout the week. Participants who would benefit from being moved to a higher group will be asked if they would like to move. Hardwood Hustle coaches will always try to honor the requests of the participant/family while maintaining what is best for the clinic.

If you find yourself in need of financial assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to support you every step of the way. Our team is dedicated to helping numerous players each year, particularly those who have demonstrated their commitment by attending a Hardwood Hustle camp.
