    Camp Collegiate Scott HawleyCamp Collegiate is a fast-paced, fun-based learning experience that is meant to make summer days fly by with fun activities. Boys and girls in third through eighth grade spend their days with friends and counselors doing all of the typical camp things: swimming, cooking out on a camp fire, canoe trips, arts and crafts, having treats, horseback riding, games and a lot of not-so-traditional things: feeding and caring for snakes and hamsters; studying ecosystems and astronomy; competing in science challenges; building woodworking and electronics projects. Fun off-campus trips will include canoeing down the Fall River, visiting the Oklahoma salt flats, going to Laser Quest, the Alley, Ice Skating, Tanganyika, the Sedgwick County Zoo, and All-Star Adventures. Kids often say that great memories are made in this camp, and its one of the best parts of their summer! Each day camp begins at 9:00 am with a game of Capture the Flag and ends at 3:00 pm with a fun closing activity where the Happy Camper for the day is announced. With all the fun activities that this camp has to offer, its a tremendous value for the price. Please call Scott Hawley for further details at 634-0489, ext. 410 or send email to [email protected].

    Speed, Agility, and Quickness Coach BlackThe classes are for both boys and girls. This program will be under the guidance of Coach Black, Coach Mike Gehrer, Cam Clark and Destiny Clark. Coach Black has been coaching speed & strength training for 25 years. Coach Gehrer has been running youth speed and agility camps for the past 9 years at Gehrer Performance Center. Cam Clark is the head trainer at Newman University and Wichita Collegiate School. Destiny Clark is the girls middle school PE teacher and strength coach for female athletes at WCS. The Program will run for 6 weeks, starting on June 16th through July 24th. Every athlete will go through an evaluation process to assess strengths and weaknesses in areas such as speed, agility, and coordination, which will allow them to be grouped accordingly. After this first evaluation, the child will be placed in groups based upon performance level and age. All the drills and activities will be age and skill appropriate. Science has proven that ages 7-11 are the most critical years in a childs life for motor skill development. Our program utilizes the most up-to-date research in a fun and friendly environment to build the young athletes physical skills. Through our youth speed training, youth agility training, and youth sports performance training technique, kids will improve coordination and self-esteem. The programs goal is to improve the following areas: coordination/agility; running technique; body weight strength; first step quickness; flexibility; injury prevention; weight loss; and self confidence.For more information email [email protected].
