It's June 16: Have You Thought About Park Explorers?
It's June 16th: Do you know where your children are spending the summer? Think about Park Explorers if you're looking for an experience that includes lots of time outside in the summer sunshine (and rain) and healthy fun all summer long (this camp really does run ALL SUMMER LONG). Different activities daily; no two days alike!
Park Explorers (PE) has been bringing children to Prospect Park with trips in and around the Park Slope Brooklyn area for twenty-five years! I can attest to the fact that children love the many activities; swimming, sports, arts and crafts, hiking, singing, dancing, chess, karate, gymnastics, exploring, running, climbing with plenty of time left for imaginative play because my son was a camper in this program for 6 or 7 years. He loved it and made many good friends there.
Hey, at Park Explorers he learned all his Guy Walks into a Bar jokes from an incredibly funny and smart counselor whose name escapes me at the moment. But he was a great guy.
And the camp really is fun and it's run by Chris Altman, one of the Park Slope 100, a talented woman who understands kids and has YEARS of experience running this camp.
And now the camp has even more activities than ever:
--Actors enjoy PE's intensive Exploring Theater camp.
--Athletes can join PE's total sports program and new this year is a program that combines dance, tumbling and circus arts, Rhythmic Gymnastics.
It is certainly true that parents enjoy Park Explorers flexible weekly schedules and extended day options. And the price is right. Call 718-788-3620 if you're looking for something for your child this summer.
