From swimming in aquatics camp to creating arts and crafts, kids enrolled in the Zionsville Eagle Recreation and Enrichment Camps have plenty of activities to choose from.
The Eagle Recreational Enrichment Foundation offers enrichment classes and athletic camps for preschoolers through high school students. Many of the classes and camps are taught by Zionsville Community Schools faculty and staff. Camps are offered from June through July.
There are a variety of challenging camps ranging from academics, arts and crafts, STEM, sports, robotics, engineering, foreign language and technology. All programs are located at one of ZCS’s schools.
“We are able to serve a variety of academics, sports and enrichment programs for not just Zionsville but also the surrounding counties,” said Ann Hall, manager of Zionsville Eagle Recreation and Enrichment Camps. “Students do not need to be registered in Zionsville schools to attend Eagle Recreation and Enrichment Camp classes.”
Z’Camp, a day camp, at Zionsville West Middle School, is for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Weekly activities include archery, tennis, fishing, crafts, STEM, campfire, and nature field trips. Campers receive weekly swim lessons at the Zionsville Community High School Aquatic Center and will go on one field trip per week.
“Children of all ages are welcome for year-round swim lessons, summer swim camps, summer swim team, family swim, lap swim, adult masters workouts, aquafit, elementary swim and infant and toddler,” Aquatics Director Lisa Brown said.
Brown said the center teaches more than 13,000 swim lessons a year with the goal of making every child safer in the water. The Aquatic Center staff of instructors are trained to teach children and adults safe swimming.
Z’Camp Zionsville Aquatic Center offers camps for children entering kindergarten through eighth grade. The camps include swim lessons, pool games, water safety, field trips and arts and crafts with water safety as the main focus of all of the facility programs.
