THE SPECIALTY PROGRAM

FOR CAMPERS 6.5 TO 12.5 (finished Grade 1-6)

Our popular Adventure Challenge, Cheerleading, Comics & Animation, Court Sports, Creatures & Creativity, Dance, Extreme Sports, Gymnastics, Land Sports, Magic, Performing Arts, Science & Computers, Science & Rocketry, Swimming and Tennis Specialties will be back – and even better – for Summer 2010! The enthusiasm, feedback and support we received from campers, parents and staff about these programs and the professional and expert organizations/instructors/coaches who run them provide a fantastic foundation for Summer 2010! In responding to suggestions from campers, parents and staff, we are also thrilled to introduce new and exciting specialties in Circus Arts, Cooking, Horseback Riding and Martial Arts.
