Genesee Community College is introducing new summer programs for area youth. All of the summer camps take place at the Batavia Campus.
The first is the Genesee Sport and Wellness Experience geared toward middle-school students. The second one focuses on physical education and fitness for high-school students. It is a three-week, one credit-college course (Accelerated College Enrollment - ACE).
The Sport and Wellness Experience includes instruction and skill development in the areas of golf, tennis, soccer, and volleyball for two weeks to local middle-school students. Education on a variety of wellness topics such as nutrition, fitness, stress management, peer pressure, and drug and substance abuse issues will also be presented and discussed.
Students in grades six, seven and eight are invited to attend the program weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 12 through 23. The cost is $100 and includes lunch every day and a T-shirt. A scholarship to attend the camp at no charge will be offered to one student in sixth- through eighth-grades from each GLOW area school.
Students must be nominated by a faculty, staff member or coach from their school. For the general flyer and registration form go to: http://marketing.genesee.edu/images/Sport_WellnessFlyer.pdf

The ACE Program course is PED171 Body Conditioning. It's aimed at high-school students interested in the areas of physical education and fitness who are looking to earn college credit. Genesee Community College's Health and Physical Education Department will provide an opportunity for students to use state-of-the-art equipment, a Human Performance Lab, and learn the latest in exercise and fitness techniques and trends.
Participants will also benefit from instruction by a certified Strength and Conditioning Coach. The course is scheduled from 9 to 11:15 a.m., Monday through Thursday, July 6 through 22. For further information or for tuition rates, please contact Ed Levinstein, associate dean of ACE programs at 585-343-0055, ext. 6300 or ejlevinstein@genesee.edu <http://ejlevinstein@genesee.edu>.
Please note: Genesee's Performing Arts and Fine Arts Experience summer programs will not be in session this summer due to the anticipated construction of the new art gallery at Genesee Center for the Arts at the Batavia Campus.
