Registration for Kids Summer Programs Has Begun

Registration is now being accepted for kids summer programs including Summer Camp, Extra Fun Specialty Camps, Summer Bridge, Tennis, and Summer Volleyball League. Each of these programs offer new features this year.

Summer Camp will include a handwriting class and two new field trips. "Those are only two of many new features we're adding, so stay tuned for more," said Program Manager Carie McIntyre. Five Extra Fun Specialty Camps will be available to choose from including perennial favorites Basketball with Gavin, Engineering for Kids, and Cooking with Kids, and two new camps: Wacky & Fun Creative Art and Braids, Bows, and Beautiful Nails. In Art, campers will tie-dye t-shirts, paint, work with paper mache, and use nature to create art. In Braids, Bows, and Beautiful Nails, participants will learn to braid hair, apply nail art, and make trendsetting hair bows. 

New this year, the Summer Bridge program will keep each grade's meeting time exclusive to only that grade. Last year, children worked on math with only their grade level. During reading, two grade levels were combined.

Tennis lessons for kids 6 to 13 return again this summer. Meredith Bishop will be the instructor. 

Summer Volleyball League is a new program this year. Previously, only one session of volleyball was available in the spring. We have added a summer session due to the growing popularity of volleyball. 

These are popular programs; therefore, advance registration is advised.
