Sports & Tech with Stanford Athletics

iD Tech Camps and Stanford University Athletics have teamed up to offer one of the most exciting hybrid computer camps / summer sports camps in the San Francisco Bay Area! Students will be able to exercise their minds as well as their bodies for a week of absolute FUN! This is an exclusive partnership. Sports camp options consist of fencing, golf, tennis or taekwondo.

Daily Schedule
Here's how it works. You will spend half the day at our Stanford summer camp in the computer lab and the other half practicing your sport. Between tech camp time and the sport camp at Stanford University, you will go to lunch. The determination of whether you will spend the morning in the tech segment or the sport segment will be made upon your arrival at camp. Camp is still in session on Friday, but there will be no sports instruction.

Sports & Tech Descriptions

Fencing Camp
Students in this hybrid summer camp will receive an introduction to fencing. Fencing is a game of "physical chess". It is one of the safest sports reflecting the quality of equipment and the rules that control it. The modern sport of fencing has three different events: foil, epee, and saber. We will mostly be using the foil during instructional time. The foil was developed originally for practice and sporting.

Students will learn both offense and defense: simple attacks and four parries. Basic footwork, stretching, and conditioning will be emphasized. Bouting between students will be practiced everyday.

Tennis Camp
Each day the tennis pro will present a skill (forehand, backhand, lob, volley, and serve). Stanford summer camp students will have the opportunity to practice the skills, incorporate each new skill into a game situation, learn the rules and etiquette of tennis, and enjoy the game of tennis at all levels of play.

Golf Camp
This summer sports camp is perfect for beginner to intermediate golfers. We feature daily instruction in the basic fundamentals (putting, chipping, sand shots, and driving), rules and etiquette. The class will utilize the driving range and the 19th hole. Summer sports camp students will not be able to access the Stanford University Golf Course. PGA professionals will instruct the camp providing an outstanding overall camp experience.

Olympic Taekwondo Camp
Students will enjoy this fast-paced introduction to the world's most popular martial sport! Taekwondo is a modern Olympic sport developed from traditional Asian martial arts and features a class structure that focuses on mutual respect, discipline and self-confidence. Taekwondo also emphasizes fast footwork, cool kicking skills, precise timing and intricate strategy. Students will learn the rules, etiquette, basic techniques and drills in a fun and friendly environment and will have the chance to work with Stanford coaches and athletes. This sports camp is for beginner to intermediate students.
