Dear Parents:
Thank you for considering our Penn State Competitive Diving Camp. To those of you who have sent a son/daughter to one of our past camps, thank you for your continued loyalty; rest assured that your child’s 2009 camp experience will be every bit as rewarding. Those considering sending a son/daughter for the first time should know that the camper’s safety and welfare are our top priority and that your child will receive professional instruction from a team of outstanding coaches. Again, thank you for considering Penn State for your son’s/daughter’s Competitive Diving Camp experience. We look forward to seeing you this summer.
Warm regards,

The Penn State Competitive Diving Camp is designed for students entering grades six through twelve next fall. High school graduates are also eligible to enroll.
About the Camp
Penn State Competitive Diving Camp participants engage in an intensive daily routine consisting of two two-hour springboard workouts and one two-hour physical activity session. Emphasis is on proper stretching, physical conditioning, springboard mechanics, and developing a healthy perspective on the competitive nature of the sport. Platform diving is introduced to campers who are qualified to train in the event.
Facilities—Penn State can offer some of the most comprehensive instruction in the East, with eight cheese boards, all on Durafirm stands; 1-, 3-, 5-, 7 1/2-, and 10- meter towers; a porta-pit; and video equipment.
Our indoor complex includes a separate 42- by 42- foot diving well, two 3- meter cheese boards, two 1- meter cheese boards, and an on-deck porta-pit board. The outdoor facility includes two 3- meter cheese boards; two 1- meter cheese boards; and 1-, 3-, 5-, 7 1/2-, and 10- meter towers. It is a facility that must be seen and experienced!
