Parents looking for 11 weeks of fun educational activities can sign up now for Cityspace’s full-day summer camp. The camp, which runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., June 21 through Sept. 2, includes weekly swims at local pools, an indoor soccer program, an outdoor garden, a computer education program, field trips to places of local interest, and music and theater events.
All children who are going into kindergarten in September, to age 13, are eligible to enroll in the summer camp. Children also receive lunch for the majority of the summer camp. Weekly fees are $132. This year we are offering free registration and $15 gift cards to a local grocery store for each parent who is referred to us by another parent. To receive the gift card, the child must complete a two-week enrollment period. Some scholarship assistance is also available to eligible parents.
Our swim program trains children to be safe in the water. Children participate in a positive, physical outlet that is refreshing on a hot day. Planned by our Keystone STAR 2 certified teachers, our field trips encourage children to learn more about the history of the area and to get fresh air and exercise. Trips include visits to museums, gardens, wildlife sanctuaries, and events that will enrich their cultural and educational experiences. Cityspace, a Keystone STARS-approved center, has provided quality child care in a safe environment since 1989. This nonprofit, state licensed, school-age center has room for 72 children. Under the direction of Connie Rought, Cityspace offers a variety of experiences. In addition to computer training and a summer camp, programs include arts and crafts classes, music, dramatics and puppetry, science and nature, healthy lifestyles, urban gardening techniques, cooking and nutritional classes, writing workshops, educational games, reading and physical education. The goal is to help children build self-confidence and to promote the spirit of cooperation in the midst of a culturally diverse environment.
Cityspace is open from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Parents will need to drop their children at child care center at 457 Allen St. before 9 a.m. to have their children participate in these summer activities. Our secure entrance is on the Fifth Street side of the Dubbs Memorial United Church of Christ building.
