At Active Learning Centers, they do summer camp the way it used to be! Children spend most of their day outside playing. They have the opportunity to go to the swimming pool twice a week and they go on field trips once per week. Every child enrolled in camp will also have the opportunity to take a martial arts class each day at no extra charge. The only things you won’t find at this summer camp are TV’s and video games… this is Active Learning Centers!
Each week features a different theme and these themes are based upon leadership qualities. The activities of the week are designed to teach, encourage, and develop those traits in the children. From listening skills to problem solving, and courage to communication, this will be the most beneficial and fun camp you’ll ever find for your child. Contact them to inquire about signing up.

School of Rock is at it's core a performance-based music program.  Kids immediately walk into this School with something in common; a love of music and a desire to play with others.  Their music staff is background checked annually and work for themthroughout the year - they don't hire seasonal employees to staff our camps, so the instructors are people they are familiar with and trust, so you can feel comfortable leaving them with them for the day.
Their Easton facility is fully equipped for rockin'.  Guitarists and bassists should bring their instruments, drummers should bring sticks, but they have pretty much everything else ready!  If students want to, they can sign up for a couple of refresher lessons the week before the camp, so they are ready to go.
