The long months of summer vacation can present a challenge to parents looking for an active and creative program for their children in a secure and caring environment. For Brentwood-area families, the Anytime Summertime Kids Camp at The Little Gym of Brentwood offers an entertaining and educational solution. These fun and engaging programs keep children learning and moving as they develop the skills and self-confidence that will help them excel when school starts again.

“It can be a challenge for parents to keep their children active and involved during the summer,” said Jim Lark, owner of The Little Gym of Brentwood. “But too much free time is not necessarily a good thing. Physical activity is one of the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle, and the ‘lazy days’ of summer are a great time to get your children involved in safe, supervised physical fun.”

The Little Gym of Brentwood offers summer camps for children between the ages of 3 and 8. Camp programs feature weekly themes that combine physical fitness, gymnastics and play with arts, crafts, snacks and special events. Themes are designed to appeal to children’s imaginations and sense of adventure. For example, campers can hunt for buried treasure on a deserted beach, plan a trip to the jungle to pet a tiger, or blast off into outer space in a giant rocket ship. Children are continually challenged to develop new skills by participating in a physical activity that corresponds to the current theme.

True to its name, the Anytime Summertime Kids Camp program features flexible scheduling. Parents can schedule their children to attend camps for several full weeks, a single week, or just a day at a time. In addition to their camp program, The Little Gym of Brentwood maintains a full schedule of regular classes throughout the summer.

“Whether parents are looking for a daily summer camp environment or an occasional ‘what can we do today’ solution,” said Lark, “our Anytime Summertime Kids Camp program is a great choice, either on its own or as a fun add-on to a child’s regular The Little Gym class. Our trained and caring instructors make sure kids have a great time while gaining confidence in their own abilities and learning to respect and interact with other kids.”
