Two sports camps<\/a> are returning to the capital city next month.<\/p>\n

The Juneau Football Skills Camp and Juneau Sports Performance Camp will run for the second straight year at Thunder Mountain High School. The camps will be July 9-12.<\/p>\n

According to camp director Cori Metzgar, the sports performance director at Western Oregon University, the camps attracted a total of approximately 90 campers last year. This year, instead of grouping the football camp into the sports performance one, each camp will stand on their own.<\/p>\n

“The main thing will just be we’ll specialize a little bit more so it’s not so broad,” Metzgar said. “Now it will be specific to football in the morning and then all other sports in the afternoon.”<\/p>\n

The sports performance training sessions won’t be tailored to any one sport in particular but rather apply to all sports besides football.<\/p>\n

The camp is bringing up three additional coaches — including two extra sports performance coaches — to help out.<\/p>\n

“I was completely shocked at the amount of kids that we got for the sports performance and how excited they were about it. It was a blast,” Metzgar said. “I left at the end of that week and I was absolutely exhausted. It was so much fun — the energy was great, the excitement was great, the kids loved it, it seemed like.”<\/p>\n

To register for the camps, go to cor1athletics.com. Camp staff intends to donate a portion of the camp proceeds to the City and Borough of Juneau Parks and Recreation Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
