August Specialty Camps at the JCC
For the week of August 12 to 16, children can enroll in baseball, cheer-tumbling or drama-dance camps, based in the JCC’s air-conditioned, well-equipped facilities.
Campers in the 3-up 3-down baseball program for ages 6 to 12 years -- grouped by age and ability – will learn the fundamentals of fielding and hitting, using batting cages and baseball diamonds at Scarsdale’s Supply Field. Snacks and a dip in the JCC pool will round out this busy 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily program. A surprise celebrity guest on the final day of camp will close the week’s festivities. For more information, contact Roy Emlet at 914-472-3300 x254.
Cheer-tumbling is perfect for pre-teens, ages 7-12, who want to learn to tumble for their school’s cheerleading squad or an All-Star team. Cartwheels, round-offs, back handsprings, and back tucks are some of the skills taught with proper progression, as well as jumps and conditioning, in this 9:00 am to 1:00pm specialty camp. For additional information, contact Chon Smith at 914-472-3300 x324.
