OVERVIEW
University of Denver is located in the heart of Denver, just six short miles from downtown and roughly 16 minutes from the city center. Denver’s state-of-the-art facilities provide the perfect environment for campers to develop their skills. This summer, join us for a fun camp experience that focuses on improving your field hockey skills.
The camp is open to all ages and ability levels. Each participant will be assessed and grouped with others of a similar age and skill level. Adjustments to groups may be made throughout the week to ensure campers have the opportunity to train with and compete against different players. Through a mix of drills, games, and scrimmages, each camper will have the chance to learn, improve, and enjoy field hockey in a supportive and dynamic environment.

Senior Erin Bozdech was named the conference Defensive Player of the Year and 4 Colonels were named to the all-conference teams.

Goodbarn joined the Colonels from Williams College, where she served as assistant coach for an Ephs team that was ranked in the top 12 of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Poll throughout the 2021 season. She helped mentor 2 NFHCA All-American, All-region, and NESCAC First-team players in the 2021 season.
