Get Movin' Do you have a passion for a particular sport but have never played it? Or want to work more on some fundamentals?

Then this is the camp for you! Tennis, golf, and volleyball are just a few of the sports that we will be playing each week.

Remember this camp isn’t for the advanced player but for those just starting out in a particular sport or who want to develop skills essential to succeed in athletics. Get Movin’ will challenge you every week with a different sport in a setting designed to help you reach your goals. Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game! The coaches are ready and the field is set. All we need now is you!

Full STEAM Ahead STEAM camps are a collection of programs that focus on science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Children can begin putting the real-world pieces together that they have learned throughout the school year and start applying those principles in a fun and engaging manner.

A STEAM approach allows your child to explore different areas of study and provides them with an understanding of how each subject is connected. Imagination and creativity will run wild each week as we get hands-on with the weekly themes.
