NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When school’s out for summer, the fun really begins. At least it does for those hundreds of Middle Tennessee students who each summer attend one of the dozens of camps on the campus of Vanderbilt University.
Deciding what summer camp or program is best for their children can be a daunting task for parents; however, Vanderbilt hopes to solve this problem by offering Summer Programs at Vanderbilt, an on-line comprehensive directory of university-wide camps, programs and activities for children in grades K-12. Each listing gives a brief description of the program, registration information, and provides website links and contact information for further details.
“There are literally dozens of summer experiences for students age 3 months old to high school seniors at Vanderbilt, so we realized the importance of listing in one place the pertinent information about a wide variety of camps on campus,” said Misty White, program coordinator in Vanderbilt’s Office of Community, Neighborhood and Government Relations. “From the chance to train with a top SEC coach in one of Vanderbilt’s nine sports camps to a music camp led by nationally renowned voice and instrument instructors to science camps that make it impossible not to have a good time while learning, it’s all at Vanderbilt from May through August.”
Parents will also find links to offerings from other educational and civic organizations such as Cheekwood, the Adventure Science Center and the University School of Nashville.
All Vanderbilt summer programs are open to the community. For more information visit the website at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/cngr/summer_programs/ or e-mail vandy_outreach@vanderbilt.edu .
