For us here at Sidwell, summer isn’t just a time of relaxation but a season of growth, learning, and sports.
With a diverse offering from Baseball to Lacrosse, and even Co-Ed Wrestling, our sports camps are designed not only for skill development but a channel through which our core values –commitment to diversity, personal growth, and community–building are brought to life.
Our expert coaches, each with a unique story, drive these values home, ensuring every child is seen, respected, and embraced for who they are. Want to meet a few of them?
Under the experienced guidance of Jon Mormino, the Baseball Skills Camp stands as a testament to nurturing talent at all levels. Mormino's 20+ years of dedication at Sidwell Friends School embody our ethos of "experience variety" and "endless enrichment." His approach ensures every aspiring player finds their place, learns, and grows, making the camp a perfect pitch for personal and athletic development.
Basketball at Sidwell Summer has a special twinkle, thanks to our star coaches Tamika Dudley and Eric Singletary. Coach Dudley, with her remarkable record and accolades including USA Today National Coach of the Year, brings a wealth of experience and a nurturing spirit to the Co-Ed Basketball Camp. She has also led the Sidwell Friends team to two DCSAA and National championships. Her journey reflects our commitment to expanding your world and building confidence in every participant.
On the boys' side, Coach Singletary, an alumnus and former professional player, shares not just techniques but life lessons. His leadership of the Boys Basketball Camp embodies our values of honoring each individual's journey and seeing them for their unique contributions to our summer camp community.
Ibrahim Toure's leadership in the Boys Elite Soccer Camp exemplifies the dedication and exploration of both skill and spirit. His rich background, from the New York Red Bulls to high school championships, underscores our belief in embracing every child's potential. Toure's approach aligns seamlessly with our values, ensuring every kick on the field is a step towards personal growth and teamwork.
The Lacrosse Camps, led by Chris Cummings and Aubrey Whittier, are the ultimate dynamic duo. Cummings, with a portfolio stretching across high schools to colleges, and Whittier, a pioneer in girls' lacrosse, spotlight our commitment to diversity and personal growth. Their expertise not only refines skills but also fosters a sense of belonging and community among participants.
Josh Markey's stewardship of the Co-Ed Wrestling Camp is a narrative of resilience and recognition. Throughout his tenure as coach for the Sidwell Friends Wrestling Team, he’s led them to win multiple regional championships, and even a hard-fought second-place finish in the women’s division at the National Prep Wrestling Tournament. Under his guidance, wrestling becomes more than a sport; it's a platform for building character, confidence, and camaraderie.
From the baseball diamond to the wrestling mat, we strive to offer a nurturing environment where fun times and self-exploration are part of the daily routine. Our coaches are more than trainers; they are mentors who see each child, honor their individuality, and help them embrace their potential.
Our camps are designed to be inclusive, ensuring that anyone with an interest, regardless of their skill level, finds value and joy in participation. It's a place where personal growth, diversity, and community are always a part of the game plan.
