Summer Camps
Ross Preschoolers take a hike.
By David Shea Duda Summer is fast approaching, but it’s still not too late to get your child involved in one of the area’s premier summer camps. Long Island is one of the best summer communities in the world! Let your kid experience the beauty of the area while making new friends, stimulating their interests and developing new hobbies. The Knox School in Saint James has a variety of summer camps for children of all ages and interests. Full-time campers will be involved in fun and
exciting daily activities at Knox. These include swim lessons by a certified Red Cross Instructor in the in-ground swimming pool. Other activities such as kayaking, arts and crafts, fine arts, chess, dance, music, drama, basketball, deck hockey, four square, orienteering, tennis and science will be available on a rotating schedule. Campers will be divided into groups based on their fall 2012 grade level. New for 2012 is the Barracuda Group, which will consist of 9th and 10th graders who will be a part of the school’s travel program to explore area attractions. Knox will also offer a Counselor in Training Program for 10th graders who are interested in ultimately becoming a camp counselor, an equestrian program and a variety of sports camps. The baseball camp will be headlined by Oreste Marreo, a former MLB player with the Los Angeles Dodgers. There will also be a New York Red Bulls Residential Soccer Camp and the Game Changer Lacrosse Camp. Check out the camp open house on April 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or head to www.knoxschool.org to learn more about the great offerings!
