DAY CAMPS

Day Camp for boys grades K-7 Why US? The US Day Camp prides itself in being a safe place where we will teach your son teamwork, sportsmanship, athletic and non-athletic skills, and pride in a job well done. Our beloved shop program is unique among area camps, and boys love to create and build their own projects in a supervised, safe environment. The city of Cleveland’s oldest operating camp (our 86th year!) has a strong tradition in combining fun activities with a truly educational experience. We know boys, and we create an environment where they can thrive. Counselors consist of experienced veterans and teachers combined with college and high school assistants. Our younger staff are chosen due to their accomplishments as students and leaders within their own schools, and many were former campers at the Day Camp who have chosen to come back and give back to the program they loved as a child. A big part of our success comes because we DO limit group size, and more stunning than any other fact is that we maintain a 6 to1 staff to camper ratio! We spend time getting to know your son and working with him to make his summer an enjoyable one. Campers swim twice each day (instructional and free swim). Tennis instruction is included in the older groups’ programs. Athletic skills as well as arts and woodwork will be taught by counselors and specialists. Field trips focus on educational as well as recreational opportunities. The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities of the Shaker Campus provide the primary setting for these exciting, challenging, and fun pursuits. Where else can a boy get a full day of working with outstanding mentors, doing a variety of educational activities including woodshop and arts and crafts, enjoying exciting field trips, participating in fun, organized games and activities using the full range of the school’s athletic facilities, all in a safe and nurturing environment for only $230 a week? Extended Day options (before and after camp) and shuttle bus services are available. Campers bring their own bag lunch and drinks and gather at outdoor picnic tables at lunchtime. Refrigeration is provided. The Boys’ Day Camp is a full six-week program. Because of the limit in group sizes, be sure to register early for this popular camp. **PLEASE REFER TO PAGES 6 & 7 FOR GRADE 7 AND PRE-K DAY CAMPS.**

DAY CAMPS 9

Space Camp for boys & girls grades 4-7 This is hands-on, experiential science at its best! During Space Camp, young astronauts participate in missions in our Space Flight Simulator and Mission Control Center. Each week has a different flight theme, and your child can participate in flights to the International Space Station on the Space Shuttle, the Moon, or Mars on NASA’s newest proposed spacecraft! The week will begin with team-building exercises to improve communication and familiarity within the student groups or “crews.” Additional learning activities and team challenges will take place during the week. The US Space Flight Simulator is a superb facility ready to launch campers into an unforgettable space adventure. The Simulator is a full-sized, two-story replica of the mid and flight decks of the space shuttle that can be converted for historical or future NASA flights. It is attached to our International Space Station module where ‘in-flight” activities can take place. The Mission Control Center is separately located from the Simulator, and each camper will perform the role of a Mission Control officer assisting the astronauts on their journey. Campers will conduct investigations much like those carried out by astronauts on the actual NASA Space Shuttle and International Space Station. They will participate in space walks, and during missions to the Moon and Mars, campers will also create multi-room “biospheres.” Computer-controlled graphics are used to simulate space flight. Radio communication between Mission Control and spacraft allows participants to fly actual real-time missions. The Simulator is not a toy – it is a working representation of the real NASA Space Shuttle. Our connection to NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland adds exciting features to our summer program including a weekly field trip to the Great Lakes Science Center’s NASA Glenn Visitors Center! In addition, campers will build and launch model rockets, straw and soda bottle rockets, parachutes, and balsa gliders, all of which can be taken home. Enrollment is limited to 24 campers per session, so register early for this very popular camp! Campers bring their own bag lunches and drinks. Refrigeration will be provided. Extended Day options (before and after camp) and shuttle bus services are available.

Campers bring their own bag lunch and drinks. Campers must provide their own transportation to and from home and the golf course. Register early as this camp is limited to 12 golfers.

This camp is designed for the confident players who are looking to take their golf game to the next level. Learn the fundamentals and mental skills it takes to play a better game of golf that will lead to lower scores. Players will learn how to effectively strategize their golf game, including gaining the critical components of course management, mental approach, and proper practice techniques. Instruction will be given on the practice tee and at the putting green, and each afternoon is spent with on-course golf instruction. Golfers will learn from situations that cannot be taught on the range or in the classroom. Because over 50% of this game is played inside of 100 yards, we devote half of the on-course time to improving short-game skills, putting, chipping, pitching, and bunker techniques. Led by University School teacher, coach, and former PGA Apprentice Brady Hurley, instruction will also be provided by experienced US coaching staff member Mike Wilson. Campers bring their own bag lunch and drinks. Campers must provide their own transportation to and from home and the golf course. Register early as enrollment is limited to 8 golfers. In the event that a day of camp is cancelled due to inclement weather, Monday, July 6 will be the make-up date.
