Lokanda knows that some children can really benefit from a short period of intensive training in an area that interests them. So we hire the right professionals who are passionate about their specialty sport, and who know how to communicate and instruct children in a positive manner.

Mini camps run for several consecutive days, building on existing talents and introducing new techniques, so campers become more confident and walk away with new skills to improve their game.

We are busy planning exciting Mini Camps for summer 2007 which we will announce in the spring time.

For summer 2006 we had :

• Baseball - Darnell Coles who played for Seattle, the Detroit Tigers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. 

• Basketball– Mark Jackson was an outstanding backcourt player for St. John’s University and the New York Knicks. 

• Gymnastics– Marvin Myers is now the Gymnastics Coordinator for Columbus Gym in New York City.  Marvin has performed with The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, as well as Cirque Du Soleil.

• Tennis - is offered in units of 5, one-on-one, hour-long instruction sessions.  A member of our Lokanda Tennis Staff will teach these sessions.
