In our last newsletter, we told you about our Drama, Fitness and new Painting & Drawing class. In addition to these, we have other "pull-out" clubs and clinics (detailed below) for 1st-6th graders that can be incorporated into their day, allowing customization based on specific interests and special needs. These clubs and clinics are optional. Since children will enjoy all the activities available at Crestwood as part of their regular schedule, we find that only a small percentage of our children choose to take advantage of these clubs.                                                                                        

      Crestwood's sports program is filled with daily excitement and instruction.  For those children who have an extremely strong interest in a particular sport we offer enrichment clubs where they can play more competitively at a sport of their choice.  We also provide small group clinics and remedial skills to help improve, give confidence to and encourage those who tend to shy away from certain activities.

      For those who enjoy the arts, performing and/or creative, Crestwood offers the opportunity for children to do additional and/or advanced programs. Chess Club and Mandarin Club are two additional pull-out clubs that give campers the chance to learn and experience a new game and/or culture that would not necessarily be part of their daily camp schedule. As always, most of the activities at Crestwood are available for optional pull-out clubs.

     If you are interested in any of these clubs or would like to discuss other options with your Division Head, please contact the office at 631-692-6361. You may sign up your child or get more information during Family Fun and Clothing Day on June 25, 2011. Children may also sign up for most of our clubs after the summer has begun and after they have had the chance to develop new interests and skills.
