 JUNE 9-13, 2008
1:30PM-5:15PM Each day
The Children's Lifetime Sports Academy
was started thirty-one years ago
at Missouri Western State University
to allow participants from the community
to interact with Faculty and future
Physical Education, Recreation and
Exercise Science majors in an environment
which is fun and non-competitive.
Our goal is to teach the skills, values
and appreciation's involved in lifetime
sport activities which can be utilized
throughout life for fun, health and
fitness.
The participants which range from
age 8-10 will receive basic (introductory)
instruction in a number of lifetime
sports. Ages 11 and 12 will
receive intermediate instruction
in lifetime sports with emphasis
on outdoor adventure activities.
Some of the activities we offer
are as follows: Canoeing, Rappelling,
Scurry Hockey, Fishing, Archery,
Obstacle Course, Mini Track, Swimming,
Pickle Ball, Racquetball, Badminton,
Snorkeling, Recreational Games and
Fly Tying. Due to the unpredictability
of the weather some activities may
not be offered.
To keep the numbers at a low ratio
of instructor to participant we limit
enrollment to the first 150 registered
participants. It is recommended
that you pre-register. If the
Academy is not full, registration
will take place at the door of the
Physical Education Building on the
first day (June 9).
All equipment is furnished by Missouri
Western State University, Department
of Health, Physical Education and
Recreation (HPER). However,
all participants must furnish their
own tennis shoes, swimming suits,
towels, change for vending machines.
The HPER and Athletic Department DOES
NOT SUPPLY CHANGE.
The cost of the week-long adventure
camp is $75.00 for the first child
in the family and $60.00 for each
additional child.
On Friday June 13th parents are
invited to visit the campus and observe,
take pictures and visit with the
instructors and counselors. If
you would like additional information,
please call (816) 271-4491.
