ACADEMY SUMMER DAY CAMPS We at SPR have been working hard planning our NEW SPR Academy Summer Camps! These will follow up on some of our great clubs and Academy programs offered during the summer and in our After School Program. For many weeks this summer, we will be running various sports, visual and performing arts, and special interest Academy Camps during our normal camp hours. What does that mean for you? Many people cannot send their children to a sports camp or arts based camp because of the hours of the camp. Our Academy Camps will work both in conjunction with our regular summer camps as well as operating as stand alone camps for a convenient experience to all our families. Let us take care of the transportation! Drop your child off at their summer camp in the morning and we will transport them to their Academy Camp. When that program is over they will be returned to their summer camp for the rest of the day s coverage. Families will have the option of purchasing a special activity add-on to enjoy both our summer camp and Academy Camp offerings. Transportation from our regular camps may also be available for our summer tennis lessons and other day programs we offer. These Academy Camps will also be offered as stand alone programs. If you don t need full day coverage and can drop off and pick up your child from these Academy Camps, there will be rates for that as well. We hope to offer as many sports, visual and performing arts, and special interest camps as possible. Many of these camps will use both local instructors and contracted professional organizations. On the next page, you can see a preview of our offerings and there are many more we are looking into. Stay tuned for our Academy Camp publication coming in April. We will be asking you to plan ahead so we can provide the best experience possible. Full details on Academy Camps including dates, session descriptions, fees, registration options, and more will be available in April 2015!!!
