And no worship arts camp is complete without a little karaoke! Students were given the opportunity to worship the Lord through visual arts, song and dance – also thanks to our talented friend, Sierra Williams. Our very own Worship Arts Director, Kenny Moore, headed up this awesome camp. McClung Museum and Knoxville Arts & Fine Crafts Center all opened new worlds of fun and learning. Oak Ridge Children’s Museum, The American Museum of Science & Energy, The Frank H. Each year, the Emerald Youth sports staff give students a wide variety of experiences: basketball, whiffle ball, soccer, flag football, performance training and even some kiddie-pool-kickball! The highlight of the week, though, was a trip to Eppolito Boxing Gym.įocused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, this camp was filled to the brim with variety.

AUDREY MOORE REC CENTER SUMMER CAMPS TV
From print, to radio, to TV and even graphic design, our students got to work with Community Television of Knoxville, Nothing Too Fancy, Always Abounding Multi-Media, WVLT, WIVK and the Knoxville News Sentinel! This camp was overflowing with opportunity for our youth. Students learned helpful self defense strategies through thoughtful instruction and creative games. This brand-new camp was a huge hit thanks to our friend Todd Mills at Battle Rock Krav Maga. Sysco Foods, Hard Knox Pizza and Dunkin’ Donuts teamed up with our very own intern, Sarah Marlow, to teach students home cooking basics all the way up to industrial culinary machinery. Students learned valuable life skills and real-world experiences, all while having a blast. Junior Achievement of East Tennessee has done it again! This has always been our most-attended camp and this year was no different. These students got to experience animals from all over the world thanks to our friends at Little Ponderosa Zoo, Ripley’s Aquarium, Shangri-La Therapeutic Riding Academy (STAR) and Rainforest Adventures.

This year, children participated in these camps: Camp Week is made possible through the generosity of Variety of Eastern Tennessee. Summer Camp Week is a day-camp environment where each of our 230 elementary students get to select a specialty camp to participate in, Monday through Thursday.
