Summer Means
Fun for Kids at CSUS

In just more than a month, children from the throughout the Capital Region will find themselves at California State University, Sacramento - chasing soccer balls, conducting chemistry experiments and much more.

In fact, as in previous years, there will be thousands of children taking part in youth programs at the University this summer.

Among the programs will be Academic Talent Search, the National Youth Sports Program, Sports Camp and WAVE Camp. There will also be a number of programs on campus run by independent organizations.

Academic Talent Search, now in its 20th year, serves more than 1,400 academically gifted middle school students each summer. Students get both specialized instruction and a college experience to remember.

Teenagers may also participate in the National Youth Sports Program. The program offers everything from traditional sports, such as football and volleyball, to programs on personal health.

CSUS also hosts the Sacramento State Sports Camp for boys and girls. Activities include sports, nontraditional games and arts and crafts.

And WAVE Camp is back again after a successful debut last year. The program gives children with physical disabilities the opportunity to participate in water-related recreation, sports and fitness activities. Children will pair with trained "buddies" and participate in water polo, swimming, sailing and more.

Many other water classes will be offered at the CSUS Aquatic Center at Lake Natoma. Children can learn jet skiing, rowing, windsurfing and white-water rafting. There's also basic camp for small children and specialized camps for intermediate level children are available.
