April Vacation Week
CAS Soccer Camp: Participants are grouped by age (4–6 years, 7–10 years or 11–14 years) and all levels of ability are welcome! Camps focus on fostering a love for the game through skills acquisition, practices and small-sided games. Each player receives a shirt and ball. For players 4–6 years, shin guards recommended and soccer cleats would be fine, but a safe, appropriate athletic shoe would be acceptable. Ages over 6 should wear cleats and shin guards.
Granby Bears Youth Basketball Co-ed Clinic: Grades K–8. Led by the girls’ varsity basketball coach Mike D’Angelo, join us for some fun in this co-ed skills clinic which will be held outdoors at Salmon Brook Park OR inside the high school gym if inclement weather. D’Angelo, his coaching staff and players will work with the kids on ball handling, passing, shooting and incorporate skills games. Each participant should bring their own basketball and water bottle.
Little Makers, Little Chefs and Colorful Creations: Ages 4–7. Join us over April break with Little Makers which is split into two classes. Children can join for one or both! The instructor is Bonny Hollis who has directed after school and summer programs including cooking and crafting classes. This is a drop-off program. Guardians are welcome to stay close by in the Apple Barn side room. This program is being run jointly with the Simsbury Recreation Department. Each Class is $70.
Little Chefs, 9–11 a.m. Have fun and learn basic cooking and baking life skills. We will be creating different treats each day while learning together. We will focus on safety in the kitchen, reading and following simple recipes, measuring ingredients, familiarization with kitchen equipment and tools while creating tasty treats. Recipes may contain dairy, eggs and gluten.
Colorful Creations, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Children will explore a variety of materials during the creative process and learn art techniques through modeling and actively using their imagination.
