Samford University hosts a variety of summer camps for children.
As the summer months continue, so will Samford University’s many summer camps for kids.
According to media relations manager Sarah Cain, children can participate in a number of events throughout July, including:
- Adventures in Music Camp (Piano and Voice), July 8-12;
- Music and Art for Minis, July 15-19;
- Bulldog Art Camp, July 22-26; and
- Jazz Camp, July 22-26.
The piano and voice music camp for grades 1-12 aims to help students with performance skills but will also teach music history and theory. Music and Art for Minis will be held for ages 4-6 and will expose children to projects based on their ages, according to the summer program website.
The art camp, for grades 1-5, will allow students to incorporate “color, line, shape, texture, space, value, form, balance and rhythm,” according to the summer program website.
Samford also hosted a variety of summer camps in June that provided experiences in academics, leadership and the creative arts.
Its Summer Cooking Camp, for example, focused on holistic health and wellness by exploring how “nutritious” is just as important as “delicious.”
“We were eager to offer our first cooking camp for teens,” said Suresh Mathews, professor of nutrition and dietetics. “Our culinary educators have been working hard to make this an engaging and enjoyable experience. By focusing on food and nutrition, we hope to spark a life-long interest in healthy cooking.”
