Field Hockey Summer Camps
Achievers Camp
Field hockey camp returns to Kirkwood! This partnership camp with the Delaware Sharks Field Hockey Club is designed for grades 4-8 and focuses on building solid skills necessary to play the game effectively. The goal is to get as many touches on the ball as possible, and improve on passing, receiving, dribbling, speed of play, and foot work. You can’t play the game if you can’t execute the skills well!
Stefanie Moyer Hodgson will be leading the Achievers camp. Stef is a Delaware Sharks alumnus who also played at Sanford School and Monmouth University. At Sanford, she was a 4-year varsity starter and earned Delaware Independent Conference awards. She also led Sanford School to their first ever conference championship in her junior year, when Sanford finished number 3 in the state. During her time at Monmouth, she helped her team transform from a 2 win and 14 loss record, to an over .500 record and finished second in the Northeast Conference Championship. Stefanie is an Education Transition Specialist with thew Division of Services for Children Youth and their Families. Stef is married and the proud mother of 2 young boys.
