Camp Foothills and Tennis at the JCC


Every Summer, Camp Foothills partners with Tennis at the JCC to provide students excellent education in Tennis. Coaches at the JCC will help students work on all aspects of their game, whether it's learning fundamentals or fine tuning their skills. 

The kids are also offered a break during their session, where they're allowed to swim, if they so choose. A nice option on those hot summer days!

We provide transportation from and back to the Camp Foothill's location, so that parents of multiple children can drop off at 1 place. Tennis is also a half day option, so children can have the opportunity to participate in afternoon classes at our camp. 
Check out opportunities to take Tennis, for all ages and skill levels, in our Summer Brochure. Tennis at the JCC is offered weeks 4, 5, 7, and 8.

Robotics

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) based classes have been on the rise in education, linking education and the current and future workforce together. Because of this, Camp Foothills is dedicated to choosing a camp curriculum that supports the need for STEM based education camps, while making sure it is interesting, fun, and hands on for students. LEGO Robotics has always been a popular way to engage students in STEM programs. LEGO Robotics allows students to work with computers to develop code that moves their robots around.
This year, Camp Foothills has teamed up with Play-Well TEKnologies for our Robotics classes. Play-Well is a program designed to provide LEGO inspired engineering classes and camps for K-8. 
Play-Well says of their programs: "Our Core Engineering programs are our biggest “sandbox;” this is the safe space for kids to learn and discover the most through play. It’s about the process, not the result. Themed classes and camps explore imaginative worlds that kids already know and love, such as Star Wars or Ninjago... These programs are broad in theme and draw upon the greatest variety of possible projects."

Here at Camp Foothills, we're excited to see the kids engaged in the programs offered with Play-Well TEKnologies throughout summer. Look through our brochure for opportunities to participate in programs such as LEGO Engineers (week 3), LEGO Minecraft (week 4), LEGO Ninja Engineering (week 8), and more!
