Skyhawks Sports CampsVeteran’s Memorial Park 9:00 AM – 12:00 Noon Monday through Friday

Skyhawks provides a wide variety of fun, safe and positive programs that emphasize crit-ical lessons in sports and life, such as teamwork, respect and sportsmanship. Our pro-grams are designed to give each child a positive introduction into sports while fosteringa lifelong love for an active, healthy lifestyle. Our patient and knowledgeable staff use avariety of skill-building games and activities to give each athlete a complete understand-ing and overview of sports. This summer Skyhawks will be working with the OrangetownRecreation to follow the New York State guidelines for safe games. As we exit and entera new phase or new guidelines are posted the program will be constructed appropriatelyfor that phase.

The fundamentals of each sport will be taught by Skyhawks Sports Camps. Sports campsfor children ages 5 to 10 will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Park in Orangeburg. The mini-hawk sport camps will be for children ages 5 & 6 and will be an introductory pro-gram for young children that will explore multiple sports in a fun setting. In order to par-ticipate, children must be the age at the time of the program.

Beginning GolfSkyhawks Golf focuses on building the confidence of young athletes by teaching propertechnique to refine essential skills of the game. Golf is a challenging and lifelong sport, soyoung athletes need proper focus on the fundamentals of form, swinging, putting, andbody positioning. To assist in this training, Skyhawks has adopted the SNAG (Starting NewAt Golf) system to its curriculum. SNAG utilizes a set of equipment designed for beginninggolfers, including oversized plastic club heads and “mini tennis balls” to help build confi-dence and to have fun. Developed by PGA professionals, SNAG is specifically designed forthe entry-level player; SNAG simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easyand effective transition onto the golf course. No need to bring your own clubs--all equip-ment is provided. We keep the instructor-to-camper ratio low, resulting in limited avail-ability. These programs fill up quickly.

Mini-HawkThis multi-sport program was developed to give children a positive first step into athletics.The essentials of baseball, basketball and soccer are taught in a safe, structured environ-ment with lots of encouragement and a big focus on fun. Our Mini-Hawk games and activ-ities were designed to allow campers to explore balance, movement, hand/eye coordina-tion, and skill development at their own pace. Skyhawks staff are trained to handle thespecific needs of young athletes.

Multi-SportOur multi-sport camp is designed to introduce young athletes to a variety of differentsports in one setting. For this program we combine soccer, baseball/softball, basketball,flag football, capture the flag and ultimate frisbee into one fun-filled week (each weekwill include 2 sports). Athletes will learn the rules and essentials of each sport through skill-based games and scrimmages. By the end of the week, your child will walk away withknowledge of multiple sports along with vital life lessons such as respect, teamwork, andself-discipline.

NATURE ADVENTUREExplore the natural world and the adaptations that allow birds andbeasts to thrive. There is a new and different fun take-home projecteach day. Make plaster casts of animal tracks. Learn how animals pro-tect themselves: survive icy cold like a polar bear and dissect oysters tosee how they resist an annoying itch. Build a bird feeder and mix yourown seed blend to attract specific bird species. Make recycled paper.Tie-dye t-shirts with vegetable dyes. Test water for pollution, andthen build a water filter to remove anything nasty. Construct a bughouse for observing real, live bugs. Study the feeding habits of owls and look at the ani-mal bones they leave behind. Learn about geology by growing your own crystal gardenand breaking open your own geode. And pan for spectacular gems and minerals that canbe found in the Hudson Valley.

NASA: JOURNEY INTO OUTER SPACEKids start in the Earth’s atmosphere and end up in the stars in this super sampler of spacescience. This voyage of discovery will explore planets, moons, comets, and other phenom-ena in our solar system. Come investigate our sun, and other stars and the galaxies theyform. Build a Mad Science rocket and then design, build and launch your own version.Learn about the challenges of living in space and undergo astronaut training. Work withlenses and build a telescope. Discover technologies developed for use in outer space whilenavigating a laser maze. Campers will have lots of projects to make and take home includ-ing two rockets, space copter, meteorological station, star chart, and a telescope. Materialdeveloped by Mad Science in partnership with NASA.

RADICAL ROBOTS – NEW AND UPDATED! Are you ready to take over the world with your cunning creations (Mwah Ha Ha Ha Ha! ),or would you like to design machines that can save the planet? Start here and train withother future roboticists. Explore the basic and complex technology used to design andbuild robots. Discover how machines and robots work and how they make our lives easier.Learn about simple machines, gear structure, gear ratios, battery wiring, motor principles,and electronic circuits.

MAD MACHINES & CRAZY CONTRAPTIONSThis inventor’s camp is designed by you—the Inventor! Each day you’ll be given a series ofchallenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips fromworld famous inventors and the most important thing of all – your mind. If you werestranded on a desert island how would you survive? You will need to build shelter, findfood and purify water, protect yourself and your teammates from the elements and find away off the island – or die trying (not really). Journey to the future and examine the ultra-modern inventions of the 23rd century. Then design the future - today. "Create" mini-lightsabers, “green energy”, and hovercraft. With a little bit of ingenuity, you’ll construct cat-apults and forts and then lay siege, fabricate a winning Egg Drop design, construct a danc-ing robot. While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration…this camp is 100% fun!

SCIENCE MYSTERIES & FANTASTIC FORCES (LAST OFFERED 2016)This super science sampler lets kids investigate several topics each day with cool take-homeprojects. Kids will be engineers, chemists, and stunt pilots! Children will have fun withphysics and learn the science behind magic tricks. Your Mad Scientists will be shocked bywhat they learn about electricity… blown away by their experiments with air pressure…and swept away by the excitement of working with waves! They will learn about simplemachines and build a propeller-powered car. Campers will make and take home their owncrystal garden, a center-of-gravity game, a “magic” box which make objects disappear, a“Skyhawk” foam plane, an “Air Blaster” foam rocket launcher, a bridge building kit, aCartesian diver, a “Drag Racer” car, and their own batch of ooey, gooey slime.

Students will create, collect, and analyze evidence anddiscover what skills are necessary as a crime scene lab technician. They examine clues andget hot on the trail of a culprit, and then connect the dots using science to help solve acrime in a hands-on investigation. From edible messages and decoding clues, students willhave the opportunity to check out some of the skills that spies must master as they journeyinto the world of espionage. Take home projects include an ultraviolet Fingerprint Finderkit, Spyglasses that let you secretly watch people who are behind you, Spy-noculars, aSecret Code Breaker, and an Inspecti-kit for evidence collection.
