Center’s summer camp is open for registration Summer is coming quickly and The Center of Anna Maria Island’s staff is ready to welcome kids with loads of fun activities at its summer camps. This year’s summer camps are open to kids ages five to 12, from those getting ready to enter kindergarten up to fifth-graders. Camp runs Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 7 through July 30. Parents can sign children up for a weekly sports camp, a discovery camp dedicated to exploration of the arts, or to take part in one or more specialty camps. The cost per week for Center members to take part in the Summer My Way camp is $170 per child or $185 per child for non-members. Each week features a new sports skill, discovery theme and a field trip. Each specialty camp has its own hours and costs. One of The Center’s more popular specialty camps is drama camp, held at the Island Players Theater in Anna Maria. This camp is open to children ages six to 13 and will help kids work on their stage skills from behind-thescenes work to acting. The drama camp runs for two weeks from 9 a.m. to noon on July 12-15 and 19-23 with a 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. performance at the theater on July 23 which is open to the public. The cost to attend is $260 for
Center members and $275 for nonmembers. Fit Crew camp runs from noon to 4 p.m. July 19-22 and is open to children ages six to 12. This fitness-inspired camp will teach children strength training and endurance through games, sports and other activities with a focus on the science behind exercise. The cost is $120 for members and $135 for non-members. Fishing camp takes place July 26-29 from 9 a.m. to noon for participants age five to 12. Young fishermen and women will discover the sea life in local waters while learning to tie knots, bait hooks, cast and reel. The cost is $90 for members or $105 for non-members and all participants are required to bring their fishing poles. Another specialty camp this year is archery camp, taking place from July 5 through 8 from 9 a.m. to noon.
