More About Camp

Amherst College, #1 ranked Liberal Arts College in the country for 2001-2002, is an independent, nonsectarian, liberal arts college founded in 1821. Amherst now has an enrollment of approximately 1,650 students who come from all over the United States and many foreign countries. The College is located in beautiful Amherst, Massachusetts, 90 miles west of Boston and 165 miles north of New York City. Campers are housed; two per room and enjoy the superb athletic facilities Amherst has to offer.

Directing the camp is Head Coach E.J. Mills. Coach Mills just completed his tenth season as Head Coach of the Lord Jeffs. In the past ten years, Coach Mills' teams are a combined 57-23 and Mills has helped to restore the tradition-rich Amherst football program as a perennial powerhouse. This past season, the Lord Jeffs finished with a 5-3 record and a #8 ranking in the final New England Division III Football Poll.

Widely recognized as one of the top head coaches and defensive minds in the NEASAC and all of NCAA Division III, Mills has also served as the Amherst Defensive Coordinator for the last ten years, twice guiding a group that has led the nation in scoring defense. The Lord Jeffs gave up a meager 8.4 points per game in 1996 and shattered that mark in 2001 by surrendering only 6.1 points per contest. In addition, Mills’ defense tied a 21 year-old NCAA record by not allowing a single passing touchdown all season long. Mills is a 1988 graduate and past scholar athlete of the University of Dayton (Ohio), where he earned a degree in history and secondary education. Coach Mills brings to Amherst an enthusiasm unmatched in any college ranks. Assisting E.J. will be Amherst’s assistant coaches Billy McBride and Don Faulstick.
