Madawaska Volleyball Camp has served the Canadian and U.S. volleyball community annually since 1972.Over our 37 years we have impacted on volleyball tremendously with many provincial, national and international players honing their skills on our site, under the tutelage of our outstanding staff. Our ratio of campers to coaches is 7:1, unheard of in any volleyball learning centre.
When Madawaska first started as a developmental camp of the Ontario Volleyball Association in 1972, the objective was to develop elite athletes in the province. Over the years, our philosophy has expanded. We now see ourselves as a unique setting where the novice/beginner is equally at home with the advanced player. Whether you are an experienced club player or a junior high school beginner, Madawaska is the place for you to learn and have a wonderful camp experience.
We accept athletes, boy and girls, from 12 years of age to 18 years of age. Players are placed in homogeneous groups based on age/grade and skill. They play and sleep together and by week end, they are a "team" with new friendships having evolved and a life experience gained from having planned and worked together for the week.
Madawaska accepts a maximum of 575 athletes - 375 in the regular team (court) program and 200 in the beach volleyball section.
Athletes come across Canada and the U.S. As well, we have had "guest athletes" and coaches from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, Venezuela, Chile, Mexico, England, Ireland, Poland and California.
Madawaska staff return year after year with many of our staff being 15 and 20 year "veterans". There is a camaraderie and passion that infects all who attend.
YOUR experience at Madawaska will be a learning experience. Maximum contacts, valuable feedback all from a most knowledgeable coaching staff. You will come away as a much better player with improved skills and having experienced the fun from working and playing with new friends.
You will leave Madawaska, as thousands before you have, with the "passion" for the sport of Volleyball!
