The Calhoun Athletics Department is excited to announce our 4-day/3-night overnight retreat for fall season teams from August 24-27. The retreat will be held at the beautiful KenMont and KenWood Camp in Kent, Connecticut.
What started as a way to get teams more field time at the beginning of the season has grown to encompass much more than skill development. Athletes still get invaluable time contributing to a technical foundation and training with their teammates, but relationship-building and off-court/field/course work also take center stage.
Workshops (on mindset, motivation, communication, etc.) and team-building activities offer athletes the tools to be leaders on and off the court, field and course while giving us an opportunity to focus on culture creation. At this retreat, we build our core values and set the tone for the entire season. It is one reason attendance is highly encouraged. Skills are important, but establishing a strong, meaningful culture fuels our success. This retreat also serves as a valuable orientation for those students who are new to The Calhoun School and our athletic program.
