This is the 10th year for the Summer Camp program at the MUSC Wellness Center. Our campers will be able to enjoy a variety of activities this summer beyond just sports, although the majority of our activities will still be fitness or athletic oriented. Our goal is to start your child in a lifelong quest of fitness and good health, as well as offer creative outlets and mental stimulation this summer.
Core camp activities include tennis, racquetball, squash, martial arts, dance, basketball, volleyball, soccer, indoor hockey, yoga, agility & speed training, nutrition education and fitness testing. Arts and crafts will be an optional activity available to campers. Campers will have swimming everyday. We also offer swim lessons, swim team style training and additional tennis instruction (private or semi-private lessons available) for an additional fee.
We have divided our camp into 4 different camps this summer to accommodate different age groups and interests. Please look over the options and let us know if you have any other suggestions or questions.
Ultimate Fun Camp Ages 5-9 This is our traditional summer camp. We promise to keep your kids active and open their eyes to all the fun things they can do to be their “fittest”. We will have a focus on healthy behaviors and patterns running through camp all summer long. Our nutritionist will meet with campers weekly to go over different topics.
Ultimate Fun Mini Camp Ages 3-4 This camp is the same as our traditional camp but with very limited enrollment and a 5 to 1 camper to staff ratio. There is an additional $20 weekly fee to attend this camp to cover the costs of additional staffing. We do require that these campers be potty trained. Contact us for additional fees to cover daily or hourly registration.
CAMP N.R.G. Ages 10-14 Everyone needs to expend more “energy”! With our focus on Nutrition, Recreation, and Games, we make it easy to achieve that goal.
Whether your pre-teen (10-14) loves sports and wants to be pushed to excel athletically or needs more activity due to spending too much time on the couch & computer, this is the camp to attend. With weekly incentives and prizes for improvement, we have just the right environment for helping our campers to really incorporate knowledge and practical application of health and fitness into their lives. There will be an exercise boot camp element included in this camp. We will also help prepare our campers for competition in our 1st annual Kid’s and Family Triathlon held late summer 09 (participation optional).
Counselor In Training (CIT) Ages 10-14 If your pre-teen wants to get more experience working with kids we have the program for them. We will let our CIT campers use their own fit, active behaviors and specific talents (sports, arts, academics, etc) to help have a healthy influence on our younger campers. This camp will include instruction in CPR, First Aid, safe childcare practices and general strategies to offer positive, nurturing, healthy experiences for children. If campers earn American Red Cross certifications additional fees may apply. After successfully completing 3 weeks of training, campers may apply to act as a volunteer Junior Counselor. Applicants who have demonstrated adequate maturity and responsibility may be accepted to volunteer status. Details provided upon registration.
