My Thoughts on Summer Camp 2010

     By Charity Changa, 4K Kaleidoscope teacher

I never went to summer camp as a child. I grew up in Zimbabwe, where we had three school terms, spaced out by month long school-holidays. In short, I spent all my summers sweating away in a classroom. Parents; don't let that happen to your children! The perfect solution for a three month school-holiday in the new decade of a fresh millennium, (unlike the twentieth century when I grew up) is Summer Camp 2010 at Atlanta International School. Our week long, non-stop-excitement-every-minute adventures will brighten any child's summer. In case you are still in any doubt, may I present: 

The Top Ten Reasons to Attend AIS Summer Camp 2010.

10. Kaleidoscope Day Camp's Escape to Africa Camp 

Quite literally, escape to Africa, with me, Miss Charity! I'll pack you in my suitcase and we'll go on safari, hunt for lions in the bush, learn some killer dance moves, and eat the kinds of foods Anthony Bourdain only dreams of!

9. Tae Kwon Do Camp with Master Pius Martial Arts

This exciting Korean martial art is offered for two action packed weeks with a Master instructor. Parents be warned—the Tae Kwon Do camper that comes home every night will have amazing ninja skills!

8. Camp Stardust

If you become a SUPERSTAR with us at Camp Stardust, you'll probably donate your television to another family—an unfortunate family without a talented and entertaining performer in their home.

7. Video Programming and Lego Robotics Camp

Boring does not compute! A week of video programming AND a week of Lego robotics? Need I say more?

6. Kaleidoscope Day Camp So You Think You Can Cook?

Parents often dream of the day when their children will whip up gourmet, nutritionally balanced, beautifully plated meals. Unless your kiddies come cook with us, parents, your dreams may never come true!

5. Multicultural Checkmate (Chess Camp)

Where else can your children shout “check mate!” over a giant chess set AND play against International Chess Master Carolina Blanco?

4. Peace and quiet around the house

The amount of peace and quiet is exponential to the number of weeks your child attends camp.

3. Summer Language Camp

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Bienvendio! Huān Yíng! Come and learn with us and improve your choice of French, German, Spanish or Chinese. Also offered is English as a Second Language Camp, which builds confidence in bilingual children. International fun included at no extra charge.

2. Drop off is free!

That's right; not only can you drop off your children at 8 am for no extra charge, but we feed them healthy, delicious snacks and lunches too.

1. Sports! AIS and Future Stars Soccer Academy's Soccer Camp, and AIS Champ Basketball Camp, and Serve! Pass! Set! Attack! Block! Dig! AIS Volleyball Camp

If you aren't lucky enough to go to FIFA World Cup Football 2010 in South Africa this summer, our soccer camp is the next best thing. I can't guarantee that Italy will win again, (GO ITALIA!) but I do know our future soccer stars are all winners. Oh, and there's Basketball and Volleyball camp too. I'm told these sports are also fun.

There you have them—ten top reasons to attend summer camp 2010. This was but a taste, for more information please click on our link at www.aischool.org/summercamp or visit us in the Kaleidoscope office located in the SAC Building, office M3.

Summer camp is a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
