Athletics
Camp Walt Whitman's Athletic Staff prides itself on its team spirit. Though our coaches have a
particular interest and experience in one sport, we do not limit them to coaching one sport, and,
in fact, encourage them to be able to coach another.
Our coaches need to be flexible, enthusiastic and well-organized people who can instruct both boys
and girls of varying ages (8-15). We encourage our coaches to apply their experience to designing
their own lessons. Generally, a CWW coach teaches between 4 and 6 periods a day, and builds on
previous lessons in order to improve knowledge and skill. We expect our coaches to balance skill
development and games with lots of fun.
You will also have the opportunity to hone your own unique coaching style through tournaments and
inter-camp competitions.

opportunity to teach lessons to campers between the ages of 8-15 on 11 beautiful clay courts in both
group and individual classes. Dave Porter, head coach at BYU-Hawaii and Vice President of the USPTA
directs this program and also provides instruction for his coaches.

Waterfront
Every day our waterfront is alive with activity. Beneath the summer sun and amidst a beautiful
mountain and forest setting our swim instructors teach kids different strokes in our heated pool
or sparkling mountain lake. The waters of Lake Armington also allow our boating instructors an
opportunity to teach campers about canoeing, sailing and windsurfing. Our waterfront instructors
make up a dynamic team that works well together while also having the freedom to work independently
and developing their teaching styles. Safety is naturally the number one concern on our waterfront.
As a CWW waterfront specialist you will be expected to model responsible behavior.
