DSCN2207_zps22d05ed8.jpgCrestwood Idol
Crestwood Idol is back by popular demand again this summer! On our staff, we have a professional vocal coach who will run this program. Campers entering 3rd-6th grade will train and receive instruction for an end of the summer vocal performance. Campers who participate in this non-competitive pull-out club will perform either as a soloist or part of a small ensemble (based on each child's preference, the instructor's recommendation, and the number of participants). Campers entering 2nd grade who are interested will be eligible for an introductory version of the program. 

If your child is interested in this club opportunity please click here for the sign-up form. Please fill it out and mail, fax or email it back to us by 6/15/12.  

Please Note: The performance will be during the final week of our summer program and children need to attend a minimum of 6 weeks (or Any 30 Days) that includes the final week of camp to participate in this club.

"Willy Wonka" will be this summer's big production. Director Arielle Cooperman and Asst. Director Emily Edwards will be returning to direct this classic production at our beautiful amphitheater. Children entering 2nd - 6th grade who have an interest in drama are welcome to join in this special production.  There is a part for everyone, either in the cast or as part of the scenery/stage crew. The performance is scheduled for August 14th & 15th so all cast members must be enrolled during this time.  Auditions for lead roles will take place during the first week of our summer program.  All children who want to be in the show will get a part.

Our Drama Directors will be available to meet you and your child plus answer any questions about the program at Family Fun & Clothing Day on Saturday, June 22nd 10AM-3PM.

Private Lessons & Swim Team Information

Our campers receive excellent instruction in swimming, athletics, and the arts.  Many of you have been so impressed with Crestwood's first class quality of instruction that you have often asked, "How can we get more?"  You can with private lessons subcontracted by you with our specialists and scheduled before the start of the day.  Our private swim and tennis lessons are the most popular choices but other lessons are available as well. Please call Crestwood to discuss scheduling and to reserve a spot for your child. (Sorry, not available for campers in the Mini Day & 10:15-4 Junior Day programs.)

ADDITIONAL SWIM OPPORTUNITY! For those campers entering grades 2-6 who are advanced swimmers (Crestwood swim level intermediate 1 and above), we offer a fun opportunity to join our swim team. Crestwood's swim team, led by our swim coaches, practices during the regular camp day and has intra/intercamp meets throughout the summer.  Come meet the swim staff at Family Fun and Clothing Day to get more information.
