At Camp Hawkeye most traditional team sports are eschewed in favor of “all play” games, individual sporting activities where campers get to compete against a standard and their own past performances, and less traditional sports activities. Athletics includes a fair emphasis on only one traditional team sport: soccer. As a result of the high number of international campers and staff, soccer is maintained as a mainstay of the athletics program. This is so they can feel more comfortable and share their expertise with their American counterparts. Soccer allows a large number of campers to be involved at one time and includes many individual skills that can be practiced alone or with one or two friends. In addition to soccer athletics offers cricket, volleyball, tennis, basketball, wrestling, ultimate frisbee, and various “all play” games such as capture the flag, and mission impossible.
