The all-inclusive summer camp is open to children aged 6-16 years and will feature activities including indoor rock climbing, archery, swimming, football, art, cooking and drama to name a few.
ISA PE teacher Mark DeGraw, who is heading up this year’s School’s Out Summer Camp, said the event will provide children with a great opportunity to discover new interests and build self-confidence while learning how to work and play as a group: “Our goal is to offer children a chance to enjoy a huge variety of activities in our fantastic school facilities with a focus on learning and personal development in a fun and inspiring way.
“We will be combining games and unique indoor and outdoor activities with entertaining team challenges in a safe environment guided by our enthusiastic team of teachers and support staff.”
The summer camp will also feature a daily group Circus Session featuring unicycling, juggling and stilt walking designed to bring the kids together to have fun trying something different.
“The group Circus Session will encourage the children to be active, boost their confidence and have fun learning new skills,” said Mr DeGraw.
The facilities at the school’s campus on North Deeside Road include a swimming pool, climbing wall, double wide games hall, dance studio, theatre, tennis courts, turfed football pitches, kitchen, art studio and computing lab.
“Every day, our 25m indoor pool will be used for swimming, surfboarding and kayaking,” continued Mr DeGraw. “Our programme of activities will cover everything from gymnastics and archery to cooking, arts and technology so there is truly something for every child no matter their strengths or interests.
“We are all looking forward to another great summer of fun at ISA.”
The four-week camp will run from Monday 19th July until Friday 13th August. Children can enrol for one, two, three or all four weeks. Hot lunches and snacks will be served daily.
