Welcome to the 2024 Oakton High School field hockey camp! We are excited to welcome you to another great year of summer camp at OHS!

Week 1 (7th-12th grade): Our advanced level camp is geared towards field hockey players who have a number of years of experience, as we will focus on more intermediate/advanced skills. We try to split the camp into groups based on age/experience so you end up playing with others in your grade level and/or skills level, so you can gear up to be prepared for your fall season.

Week 2 (3rd-7th grade): This year we are excited to welcome back our camp for our younger age groups! This camp is designed for field hockey players entering 3rd-7th grade. All skill levels are welcome. We will try our best to break up in groups based on age and/or experience playing field hockey! Each group will be led by at least one of our Oakton Field Hockey varsity players, and instruction will be led by the Oakton Field Hockey coaching staff!
