Art Explorers Summer Camp


Future Stars Art Explorer's Camp (ages 7-15) opens up the freedom to explore and discover your creative voice.  Participants will be encouraged to develop artistic expression through experimentation with a variety of materials, tools and media.  Campers will explore various painting and drawing techniques and gradually begin to create 3-D sculptures using upcycled materials.  Some examples of project choices include articulating fixtures with corrugated cardboard, paper mace piñats, African mask-making, and weaving boards, just to name a few.

Swim

 

Future Stars has exclusive use of the College pool during our swim hours.

  • The heated pool is located indoors in the physical education complex
  • The pool is maintained by NCC Athletics Department and has a Certified Pool Operator on-site throughout the summer.
  • The pool is inspected by NY state (Nassau County) Department of Health.

Campers have a recreational swim every day for about 45 minutes. Rising Stars and youngest Multi-Sports campers will also receive instructional swim each day.

Pool safety is taken very seriously, and the pool staff is highly qualified and carry numerous accolades and certifications, including WSI, Lifeguard Management, Lifeguard, First-Aid, and CPR_AED for the Professional Rescuer. We are even a certified lifeguard training site.  Our aquatics staff is scond to none.

Every Monday, each new camper is swim tested to determine level and ability, with regular buddy checks taken by our pool staff.

In addition to the pool, we also host our 'Future Stars Water Park' with inflatable water slides for campers to enjoy.

Lunch

 

Registered campers must bring their own lunch at the Nassau Community College site. Please pack lunch in a cooler type bag, as there is no refrigeration for lunches. 

There are plenty of filtered water fountains throughout campus, in addition to vending machines should your camper wish to purchase a drink during the day.

We are committed to being a 'nut-free' camp, so please make every effort to avoid packing foods that include nut products.
