Super Center Arts Camp:super center


In 1996, MSCR developed the Super Center Arts Camp and since then over 10,000 youth entering grades 1-5 have participated! In many ways Super Center is like the perfect summer day camp program because it includes swimming, field trips, and outdoor activities. But! It has a  special difference in that it has an emphasis on the Arts. Participants are grouped by age and rotate through music, drama and art each day, all revolving around a weekly theme. This camp is great for children who would prefer to have more exposure to music, art and drama than a general camp provides. Field trips or special performances usually take place on Fridays. Extended day option consists of quiet games, self-directed art activities and supervised outdoor play.

 

Summer 2010 camp/program information will be available March 7, 2010.
