Vanderbilt Web site helps Nashville parents sort through options for children’s summer programs

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With more than 20 programs and camps taking place across the Vanderbilt campus this summer, Nashville parents may have a hard time deciding which programs best suit their child’s interests, schedule and needs. The University has made things easy by consolidating details of each of its summer programs on a single website.

Summer Programs at Vanderbilt (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/cngr/summer_programs/) is an online directory of University-wide camps, programs and activities for children in grades K-12. Each listing gives a brief description of the program, information on registration and costs, and provides website links and contact information for further details.

Vanderbilt’s summer programs are open to the community. Among this summer’s offerings are sports camps for both boys and girls, including Kevin Stalling’s Vanderbilt Basketball Camp; a day camp with a sports emphasis; the Girls and Science Summer Camp (GAS) for seventh and eighth graders; the Preparatory Academics for Vanderbilt Engineers program (PAVE); the Space Exploration Summer Camp sponsored by Vanderbilt’s Dyer Observatory; the Blair School of Music’s nationally acclaimed Kindermusik Camp; The TRIAD Summer Camp for Children with Autism; and the Vanderbilt Swim School, now in its 37th year. Application deadlines for some of the programs apply.

The Summer Programs at Vanderbilt online directory was compiled by Vanderbilt’s Office of Community, Neighborhood and Government Relations. For additional information, send an e-mail to vandy_outreach@vanderbilt.edu.
