Summer Camp 2008

Camp Olympic / Camp Olympia proudly presents our 50th season of providing a positive influence in children’s lives (estabilished 1958). Our program consists of a well balanced, unique sports program for children ages 3½ - 15. We are very proud of our reputation of offering both instructional and recreational activities which are fun and enjoyable. Some of our sports include: horseback riding, swimming, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, tennis, and track and field events, plus much more. We limit the number of campers in order to maintain a high quality program. It is our belief that involving children in a healthy sports program provides a good influence in their lives.
