This summer Gifford Youth Activity Center will offer camp programs infused with plenty of fun-filled recreational activities, while focusing on character development, decision making skills, literacy, academic retention, and much more. The power of this fresh, innovative approach is unlimited.

Local youth ages 6-11years of age are invited to attend Cultural Camp 2008, a variety of weekly activities offered at Riverside Children's Theatre and Vero Beach Museum of Art, June 9-August 8. Transportation will be provided from the Center to the various camps.

Walter M. Jackson Haven Camp 2008 for students entering grades 1-6 will include three hours each day of academic instruction followed by an afternoon of fun activities. The program will be held 7:30am-5:30pm, Monday through Friday, June 9 - August 8. The cost, $35.00 per week for the first child & $25.00 per week for each additional child in the same family, includes lunch, skating, bowling, and all field trips.

Registration for both of these Summer Camps will be held 9am-11am, Saturday, May 17. Come early as space is limited and first come, first serve!

Plans are also in the works for a "Future Achievers" Summer Camp for youth in middle & high school. If you are interested in this program please contact the Center as soon as possible. Gifford Youth Activity Center is located at 4875 43rd Avenue in Vero Beach. For additional information please contact Freddie L. Woolfork, 772-794-1005x34.
