![]() Among its other duties, the WCCA organizes tournaments throughout the summer for our 31 associated camps in almost all of our activities. Weequahic is a part of the Wayne County Camp Association. In essence, when done correctly, a little competition can really help a camper. It also helps determine areas for improvement. Competition is a wonderful tool for developing teamwork, community, and communication. Our focus is activity and skill development, rather than outcome. So, Weequahic must be a pretty competitive place, right? Well, Cole played golf at Virginia, so he was almost an athlete! Between the four of us, we’ve coached baseball, soccer, and golf at the NCAA Division 1 level for more than 20 years. You may have heard the Weequahic directors and year round staff were college athletes. We want to wish everyone a fun and exciting Color War and cannot wait to see all our CIT’s in action!
