Explore Nature & Movement with Dance Exchange Spring Break Camp



It might feel like winter is never going to end, but it’s time to start planning for Spring Break, especially if you’re looking for camps for your kids that week! Dance Exchange, an organization that creates dance and engages people in making art, offers a unique spring break and summer camp program that encourages kids to explore nature and the stories of where they live through dance.

The Moving Field Guide (MFG) uses movement as a creative tool for discovering changes in the environment, helping students have a deeper connection to the world around them. During these immersive experiences, participants activate their senses and observation skills through a series of outdoor movement activities. Students learn about their local ecosystems through art and science, fostering appreciation, knowledge, and active stewardship of the environment.

Kids can get outside and be active with the Moving Field Guide over Spring Break! Spots are still available for the fun-filled week of creating art and making new connections to outdoors, with each day focused on a different nature topic led by Dance Exchange artists and local naturalists.

Registration is $300 for 5 days (that’s only ~$11/hour for child care). Plus, the City of Takoma Park has made it possible for any child to attend who wants to join through a generous scholarship program. If price is a barrier to joining, fill out the scholarship form in the registration.

Spring Break Camp for Ages 6-10
Moving Field Guide – Get Outside and Get Moving!
Where: Dance Exchange, 7117 Maple Ave, Takoma Park, MD
When: March 26-30, 9:30am – 3:30pm

*Registration will open soon for these 2018 summer dates:

Kick It with DC Way Soccer Camp over Spring Break and this Summer!

dcway_logo

Spring Break just kicked off for most DC students, and if you’re still looking for a fun, active way for your child to spend the time off from school — either for the week or even just a day — here’s a great option: DC Way Soccer Camp!

DC Way has been serving youth and their families in the community since 2013, bringing young soccer players from schools all around the area together to learn, play, work on their skills, and have fun. The organization has taught soccer to more than 1,000 children every year, and in 2016 began partnering with SOTH (Sports on the Hill) to help kids playing in the Capitol Hill league enhance their soccer skills.

I can personally vouch, too! Both Owen and Sasha are currently enrolled in DC Way clinics and love the program. Every week they work on a variety of skills through fun and challenging drills, then finish up with a scrimmage. Whenever I watch the practices, all of the kids look like they’re having a blast.

DC Way will offer Spring Break Soccer Camp April 17-21 to kids ages 5-14 at Tyler Elementary School on Capitol Hill. Both full- and half-day options are available, and players can register for single days or the full week. The soccer coaches provide the best care you can wish for your children. And they keep prices affordable so more children can be introduced to soccer and sports in general.

Right now is also a good time to register for their summer camp — they are offering an early bird special if you sign up by April 30! DC Way is hosting seven weeks of soccer camp from June 19 – August 18, both full- and half-day options, also at Tyler Elementary School.

They also offer a Counselor-In-Training program (CIT) for players 14-18 years old. It’s a great opportunity for teens to continue training while developing valuable skills and working experience.

Are your kids ready to play some soccer — and have a great time? Sign up online today!
