As the school year comes to an end and summer approaches quickly, high schools across Chatham County are gearing up for their annual athletic summer camps — many of which weren’t able to take place last year, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
From Jordan-Matthews to Northwood, camps give kids — from elementary to middle school — a chance to meet coaches, learn the sports’ fundamentals and get a head start on their high school athletic journey.
To get more information on camps, please visit each school’s website.
