JONT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
Challenger Sports’ British Soccer Camp will return to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph for the fourth year as one of Youth Programs’ specialty camps this summer.
Registration is underway for all six weeklong specialty camps, which will begin with the Cheer/Hip Hop Camp from July 10-14 and conclude with the Missoula, Montana, Children’s Theatre Camp from Aug. 14-19.
“There’s a space limit for all our camps, but we also have a waiting list in case someone withdraws from one of the camps,” said Andrea Black, JBSA-Randolph Youth Programs programs director.
Austin-based Challenger Sports’ British Soccer Camp, which is offered during the summer throughout the United States and Canada, features an international coaching staff. Coaches at last year’s camp at JBSA-Randolph came from England and Ireland.
“The coaches will help kids work on their passing, dribbling, shooting and other skills,” Black said. “Not only will the kids develop their skills, they’ll also build their confidence while having a lot of fun.”
The soccer camp is one of Youth Programs’ most popular camps, she said.
“The kids love it,” Black said. “The coaches also give them role models to look up to.”
Open to students ages 6-16, the camp will run from 8:30-11:30 a.m. July 31-Aug. 4. Participants will receive a ball and a shirt.
The other camps are Cheer/Hip Hop for ages 5-16, 1-3 p.m. July 10-14; Camp Eureka Science Camp for ages 6-12, 1:30-4:30 p.m. July 18-21; Grossology Science Camp for ages 6-12, 1:30-4:30 p.m. Aug. 1-4; Art Camp for ages 9-12, 1-4 p.m. Aug. 7-11; and the Missoula Children’s Theatre Camp for ages 5-18, Aug. 14-19.
The science camps are presented by the Mad Science Group, which offers hands-on science experiences for children around the world.
The summer camps provide educational opportunities and social interaction, Black said.
“The students are learning new skills and making friends instead of staying at home,” she said.
