Camp Collegiate

Spartan Quest
John Leddy
Camp Collegiate is a fast-paced, fun-based learning experience that is meant to make summer days fly by with fun activities. Boys and girls in third through eighth grade spend their days with friends and counselors doing all of the typical camp things: swimming, cooking out on a camp fire, canoe trips, arts and crafts, having treats, horseback riding, games and a lot of notso-traditional things: feeding and caring for snakes and hamsters; studying ecosystems and astronomy; competing in science challenges; building woodworking and electronics projects. Fun off-campus trips will include canoeing down the Fall River, visiting the Oklahoma salt flats, going to Laser Quest, the Alley, Ice Skating, Tanganyika, the Sedgwick County Zoo, and AllStar Adventures. Kids often say that great memories are made in this camp, and its one of the best parts of their summer! Each day camp begins at 9:00 am with a game of Capture the Flag and ends at 3:00 pm with a fun closing activity where the Happy Camper for the day is announced. With all the fun activities that this camp has to offer, its a tremendous value for the price. Please call Scott Hawley for further details at 634-0489, ext. 410 or send email to shawley@wcsks.com.

The classes are for both boys and girls. This program will be under the guidance of Coach Black, Coach Mike Gehrer, Cam Clark and Destiny Clark.

Cam Clark is the head trainer at Newman University and Wichita Collegiate School. Destiny Clark is the girls middle school PE teacher and strength coach for female athletes at WCS. The Program will run for 6 weeks, starting on June 16th through July 24th.

After this first evaluation, the child will be placed in groups based upon performance level and age. All the drills and activities will be age and skill appropriate. Science has proven that ages 7-11 are the most critical years in a childs life for motor skill development. Our program utilizes the most up-to-date research in a fun and friendly environment to build the young athletes physical skills. Through our youth speed training, youth agility training, and youth sports performance training technique, kids will improve coordination and selfesteem. The programs goal is to improve the following areas: coordination/ agility; running technique; body weight strength; first step quickness; flexibility; injury prevention; weight loss; and self confidence.

Summertime fun begins at Spartan Quest, (formerly known as Sports Camp). This class will run for all 10 weeks of summer school giving your camper a consistent, exciting summer day camp experience. We will spend the mornings doing fun things on campus like playing games, flying kites, dodgeball, hiden-seek, flag football, basketball, video games, etc. We also will build our own fun when we build things like bow and arrows from PVC pipe, marshmallow shooters, mini-golf-courses, obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, and anything else we can think of! In the afternoon we continue our fun off campus at places like Tanganyika, ice skating, roller skating, Lazerquest, Watson Park, mini-golf, All-Star Adventures, Water Center, Bug Lady, and many more too numerous to mention. This class is designed for students entering 2nd to 8th grades who are looking for unlimited fun and adventure.

Camp Collegiate is a fast-paced, fun-based learning experience that is meant to make summer days fly by with fun activities. Boys and girls in third through eighth grade spend their days with friends and counselors doing all of the typical camp things: swimming, cooking out on a camp fire, canoe trips, arts and crafts, having treats, horseback riding, games and a lot of notso-traditional things: feeding and caring for snakes and hamsters; studying ecosystems and astronomy; competing in science challenges; building woodworking and electronics projects. Fun off-campus trips will include canoeing down the Fall River, visiting the Oklahoma salt flats, going to Laser Quest, the Alley, Ice Skating, Tanganyika, the Sedgwick County Zoo, and AllStar Adventures. Kids often say that great memories are made in this camp, and its one of the best parts of their summer! Each day camp begins at 9:00 am with a game of Capture the Flag and ends at 3:00 pm with a fun closing activity where the Happy Camper for the day is announced. With all the fun activities that this camp has to offer, its a tremendous value for the price. Please call Scott Hawley for further details at 634-0489, ext. 410 or send email to shawley@wcsks.com.
