More info on the Silver Creek Soccer Summer Camp

I guess that would be SCSSC? :)

The coach emailed me a pdf and I can't figure out how to upload it here (anyone? :) ) so I'll just give you the important info:

The camp is designed for children ages 3 to 6 who are just learning to play soccer. Coaches Merv Johnson and Harry Corvese along with soccer players from area high schools will work with your kids on passing, trapping, and shooting all in a fun atmosphere with lots of feedback for the kids. Merv Johnson is the head coach for the Silver Creek Lady Raptors' soccer team and Harry Corvese is the assistant coach. The camp will be held on Wednesdays (July 9, 16, 23, 30, August 6 and 13) from 5:30 to 6:30 at Silver Creek High School which is at 4901 Nelson Road. The cost is $60 per child and thereis a 10% discount for siblings. Kids need shin guards, soccer shoes, water, sunscreen and insect repellant. Request a registration form from Merv by emailing mervj66@yahoo.com or call 303-772-4681. Have fun!

Soccer Summer Camp

This was on the BoulderLongmontMoms Yahoo Group today:

"A friend of mine's husband is the girls soccer coach for Silver Creek High School. A group of the girls from the team, along with the coaches, are putting on summer soccer camps at the high school. They are doing one for kids ages 3-6 on Wed evenings from 5:30- 6:30. The camp runs July 9 - Aug 13 and costs $60. They are for all levels of players. They also are running camps for elementary, middle and high school age kids. I signed my son up, and told them I would pass the info along.

I emailed and requested more info and will let you know when I hear back!

Airborne Gym's summer camps!

Airborne Gym has announced their summer camp info! You can get all the details you need here: http://www.airbornegym.com/2008_Summer_Schedule_Links.htm.

Some of the highlights include:
-camps and classes for kids ages 1 (and walking) through teens
-Junior Olympian (ages 4-6) and Olympian (age 7+) camps featuring 2000 Olympian Tasha Schwikert
-NCAA Gymnastics Camp (ages 7+)
-Angelina Ballerina Camps (ages 2 1/2-4)
-Princess Camps (ages 4-6)
-Half-day combo camps which include a little of everything - gymnastics, dance, rock climbing, crafts, games, outdoor play, etc (ages 4-12)
-plus all their regular gymnastics, dance and climbing classes!

The summer session runs June 2nd through August 16th. Current Airborne Gym members can register starting today and new students can register beginning April 10th!

Their summer pricing format makes it so easy to attend anywhere from 4 to 11 weeks of classes. Obviously the more you attend the cheaper it is per class, but it's so nice to be able to schedule vacations and not worry about missing (and paying for) that week of class. It's so much less commitment than their school year schedule! Our 4 year old attended last summer and can't wait to go back this year!
