Looking for something to do after your class ends? Do you need to stay later while your parents work? Afternoon Camp is for you. This very casual program provides a safe place to hang out until 5:30 PM. We will show movies, play games, and offer other activities to help you chill in the afternoon.

AFTERNOON CAMP IS ONLY OFFERED TO THOSE WHO ARE ENROLLED IN PROGRAMS ON THE UPPER SCHOOL CAMPUS.

Join the Harvard-Westlake coaching staff in this week-long field hockey camp for beginning, intermediate, and advanced level players. Athletes will be divided into small groups for individual attention, and coaching will cover level-appropriate instruction on dribbling, stick handling, dodging, hits, jabbing, block tackling, scoring techniques and strategies, passing and receiving, and other principles of play. Special sessions for goalkeepers will also be offered. Players will participate in daily drills and games, with opportunities to win camp prizes. Camp will end with A Day of Games, a fun way for campers to bond and show off their new skills, compete, and win prizes. Campers should come to camp dressed to be active, with cleats and athletic shoes for football turf, and have shin guards, a mouth guard, and a field hockey stick (sticks and goalie equipment are available to borrow if needed).

This intermediate-to-advanced skills camp is perfect for campers wanting to improve individual skills. Enrollment is limited to assure a low player-to-coach ratio. The camp will address fundamental technical and tactical skills with a focus on footwork, developing confidence and creativity with the ball, and combination play in small spaces. Additional topics will include physical and mental preparation, injury prevention, and tactical awareness. HW girls' soccer camps are directed and overseen by Harvard-Westlake Program Head Richard Simms. Coach Simms has been in his role at HW since 2005 and is also Club Director at a local club. The camp will also employ many of the HW Varsity coaching staff and will include the opportunity for campers to play with, and learn from, current HW Varsity players. If you have your own soccer ball, please bring it, but soccer balls will also be provided. Campers should come to camp dressed to play soccer, with tennis shoes, cleats, and shin guards. No other equipment is necessary.

Jonas Koolsbergen is the head track and field coach for boys and girls at Harvard-Westlake. Since 1992, he has coached hundreds of CIF finalists and led the Wolverines to 6 CIF championships in Track & Field. Participants in this camp will be introduced to all aspects of track and field, covering the technique and training concepts of all events. This will be a very active camp. You will learn by doing, and we emphasize learning and fun without pressure. The end of each event session will include event competition-level work, where athletes will apply their newly acquired abilities in a meet environment. Campers should come to camp in athletic clothing and running shoes, and bring a water bottle. Cleats are not required.

Harvard-Westlake VEX V5 Robotics Intensive is a weeklong camp for anyone who intends to compete in the 2025-26 VEX V5 robotics game or for anyone interested in VEX. You will learn advanced designing, building, and programming skills specifically tailored to the new VEX game, which will be released at VEX Worlds in May 2025. Experience in VEX is helpful but not required.

During the five days, you will break down the new game, identify applicable strategies, and build a custom-designed robot that tackles the main challenges of the game. Part of our exploration will be how to maximize robot efficiency with custom-cut polycarbonate and in-game strategies to help you become a top contender. By the last day, you will compete with your robot and leave the camp with specific design ideas, advanced building techniques, and programming tips to guide them into the 2025-26 VEX V5 Season.
