Calling all sports fans! Are you looking for baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and swimming – all wrapped up in a perfect summer package? Get to know Camp Olympia.

Located in John Jay High School (237 7th Avenue, between 4th and 5th Streets), Camp Olympia gives children ages 4 to 12 a chance to learn about new sports, brush up on existing skills, and make some great friends along the way.

Kids play three different sports each day, with swim classes on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Afternoons include board games, cards, and crafts – but that’s not all! Every Friday, camp revolves around a special theme (birthdays, the beach, ice cream sundaes, costumes, and the end of year party). They had us at ice cream sundaes.

Weekly sessions begin on July 11 and run through August 12. Tuition is $300 per week. Hours are 9 am to 4 pm, with extended days available for an additional fee. Lunch is included, but children should bring their own snacks and water.

For more information, visit the Camp Olympia website, call 718-748-7084, or email CampOlympiaNY@hotmail.com.
