Athletics Facilities

World-Class Facilities, Perfectly Sized

Our campus features professional-grade athletic facilities designed specifically for each age group. By utilizing scaled equipment and fields – including mini-courts for our Little Willows and manicured diamonds for our Seniors – we provide an authentic sports experience that grows alongside your child.

The Courts

All-Weather Basketball & Pickleball Courts

Our courts are the hub of high-energy action, featuring five basketball courts in three different sizes and two pickleball courts. With hoops that adjust to the perfect height for every age group, campers build their skills, develop their jump shots or volleys, and enjoy fast-paced play on courts designed to grow with every camper.

Five all-weather basketball courts in three varied sizes to ensure the perfect fit for every age.

The Fields

Manicured Grass Playing Fields

Willow Lake features a wide landscape of pristine, age-appropriate fields for soccer, softball, and more. Soccer begins in The Fieldhouse, a covered turf field designed for Little Willows, before progressing to Walled Soccer for middle campers, where they can focus on footwork without worrying about kicking the ball out of bounds, followed by our full-size grass field for Senior Camp. The same progression exists on our softball diamonds, from a smaller turf field for Little Willows to larger clay fields for Middle and Senior Camp, the largest featuring a padded outfield wall for home runs. Campers also enjoy field space for flag football, ultimate frisbee, kickball, and wiffleball.

The Rinks

Dual Specialized Hockey Rinks

Built for precision and speed, our two dedicated hockey rinks cater to different age groups, providing the perfect stage for stickhandling, passing, and teamwork. Under the guidance of expert coaches, campers thrive in a high-energy environment that emphasizes safety, skills, and sportsmanship as much as the "big game" excitement.

Specialty Athletics

Gymnastics, Gaga, Mini-Golf, and More

Beyond the fields and courts, Willow Lake’s specialty spaces keep campers active and trying new things. Our indoor, air-conditioned gymnastics facility features a spring floor, low balance beams, and a mini trampoline where campers build strength, coordination, and confidence. Our Gaga pits are where campers compete for the Gaga crown while developing skill and integrity. Campers can also perfect their putting on our 9-hole mini golf course, practice serving and volleying on our volleyball court, enjoy our many four-square courts, or jump into the occasional round of good old-fashioned dodgeball.
