4 Star's School Summer Camp Offers More Choices
FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 27 PRNewswire — 4 Star Camps, which has been in the camp business for over 33 years, has expanded its courses and afternoon activities for its 2008 Summer Academic and Enrichment Camp at the University of Virginia. 4 Star has added Journalism, Government, Political Science, ACT Prep, Architecture, Human Anatomy & Physiology as well as "Survivor." The Survivor course focuses on teaching a variety of topics such as checkbooks, car loans, student loans, home loans, credit cards, etc.: all those things you need to know but are not necessarily taught.
Lisa Popple, Academic Director, had this to say, "Each year we evaluate our feedback from the kids and parents and try to implement new programs based on that feedback. It's so critical that we listen to our clients in order to have the best camp possible for these kids. Especially, in this world of increased choices both at traditional summer camps as well as all the other options young people have today."
Executive Director Mitch Popple also added, "Summer camps have so much to offer kids beyond what is taught in the classroom or on the field. Self- esteem, problem-solving, relationship skills, communication skills, social skills ... those are the extras a camp experience offers. Our summer academic and enrichment programs augment what is taught in school by allowing for much more personalized instruction and providing a host of interesting and fun activities throughout the day."
So it's not just all "hitting the books," the afternoon activities have been expanded to include the addition of Personal Fitness, Soccer, SCUBA Certification and Cinematography to accompany the traditional Tennis, Golf, Recreational and Fine Arts programs. The key to the success of the camp is the unique blend of academics and sports or fine arts.
