Spring Break Camps for Kids
VALDOSTA -- Obstacle courses, dramatic exploration and practical
crafts are among the children’s activities offered during VSU’s
Camp Discovery -- three spring break camps held March 30-April 3
and April 6-10 at the Regional Center for Continuing Education, 903
N. Patterson St.
The Department of Continuing Education will host Survivor VSU and
Crazy for Crafts from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and Theatre Magic from 1-4
p.m. Monday through Friday during the two sessions.
“Don’t want your children spending spring break in front of the TV
or playing video games? We’ve got the place where they can expand
their horizons, make friends and achieve personal growth through
age-appropriate activities,” said Sue Bailey, Continuing Education
Program Coordinator. “Our camps are designed to be fun for
participants, as well as to improve academic, artistic, and/or
physical skills, all in a safe, caring environment.”
Survivor VSU is a camp for children, ages 5-8, who want to learn
how to work as a team and other valuable life lessons. Participants
will compete in relay races, educational trivia games, puzzles and
obstacle courses. During this camp, though, no one will get voted
off the island.
Crazy for Crafts will allow children to explore their creative side
as they make new friends. Students will make a variety of crafts,
including duct-tape wallets, jewelry for boys and girls and name
bookmarks. The crafts are designed for children ages 9 and
up.
Children will take to the stage during Theater Magic, a camp that
introduces children to the bright lights of acting, singing and
dancing. Students will have the opportunity to come out of their
shells during improvisational games, challenge their diction with
tongue twisters, and learn about other aspects of stage
productions.
