We are starting to prepare for Summer Adventures 2010! Check back frequently as we continue to add camps for Summer Adventures 2010. 

 Summer at Proctors offers an Adventure of a lifetime! Camps are for children ages 6 and up. Each program allows aspiring artists to be part of an interactive environment that improves performance skills and promotes an outlet for creativity and imagination. Sign up for morning or afternoon sessions or register for one of each and build a full day’s schedule. At Proctors, each week includes opportunities to learn and explore, get active and have fun!
Summer Adventures faculty are selected for their professional credentials, interest in the well-being of each student and offer in-depth instruction and exploration opportunities. It is the superb instruction by faculty, the creative environment and the variety of programs that keep students coming back year after year. So we ask, what are YOUR children doing this summer?
