northern california springboard diving camps

Question
Tom,
I am a high school diving coach. Some of my divers are looking for a northern California summer camp. Can you help?

Answer
Suzanne -

Most summer diving camps are held at colleges and universities. However, none of the major schools in Northern California seem to have them anymore. The last one I know of was at Stanford in the early 1990's.

There are some club teams you should contact to see if they will be having any this summer. Try contacting Mark Butcher the head coach of the Santa Clara Divers. Go to www.santaclaradiving.com. I know they have had some in the past.

You can also try contacting Ryan Wallace, the age group coach at Stanford. [email protected]. He may know of a camp to go to.

There is usually a summer camp held by the Mission Viejo Nadadores in Southern California. Go to their website and see if they have anything coming up: www.mvndive.com.

Other websites about diving that you can try are:

www.usadiving.org

www.usadiver.com

www.aaudiving.org: Click on diving sport contacts, when the map comes up, click on a number in the Nor Cal area. Contact Rich Foell. He may know where a camp is being held.

www.flipnrip.com. They usually have info on summer camps.

Good luck in your search.
