Director: AlexO
Alex Fleming, better known as “Alexo”, is a professional magician with a unique and sophisticated style. His enthusiasm and energy coupled with honed skill and passion for sharing and teaching magic provides the campers with an unforgettable magical experience.
Being inspired by performances he’d seen on television at a young age he would be often seen poring through magic books at his local library and investing his entire allowance at his local magic shop. Magic also helped Alexo through his personal struggles, battling crippling shyness and difficulty relating of other classmates. Magic gave Alexo his voice and a unique identity which allowed him to open up to others. Being sensitive to the feelings of children who may be dealing with struggles of their own, Alexo often recalls performance horror stories of himself and other magicians having things go wrong on stage. While these stories are told in a humorous way, they serve to demonstrate the lesson that everyone makes mistakes, but that ok as long you learn and keep moving forward.
Alexo’s passion led him to study under Las Vegas headliner Jeff McBride, one of the very same magicians he saw on television. He has since performed at countless private parties, library shows, public events, and theatrical performances with venues including the Bayway Arts Center, The Plaza Theatrical company, The CM Performing Arts Center, The Performing Arts Studio of New York, The Jones Beach Band Shell, and the Tilles Center.
Alexo’s classes often feature appearance of his magical animal menagerie including a family of doves, the gentle four-and-a-half-foot python: Alice, and everyone’s favorite: Pippy the wonder hamster. Alexo joined Future Stars in 2014 and served as a reliable coach ever since providing a week of magic, illusions, laughter, and fun for your children.

Who are your staff members?

What are the ratios?
Typically, between 8-10:1. Exceptions are Tennis (6:1) and Little Stars (4:1)
What happens during inclement weather?
Camp still runs as planned. If possible, we prefer to have our programs continue with their normal programming. However, if and when inclement weather mandates we go indoors, we have ample indoor space to utilize at main campus. Occasionally, the multi-sport program will take off-site trips on rainy days, such as bowling, air-trampoline, etc.
What happens on really hot days?
Our experienced coaching staff will take additional water/shade breaks throughout the day. There are shaded areas and tents around the athletic fields where groups can rest between activities. Campers are able to cool-off by our misting fans or even take a quick run through the sprinklers that we turn on. Pool time and/or Water Park time would also be extended for that day, not to mention access to air-conditioned indoor space.
