<p><strong>Specialty Camps at the Kroc: Find the Perfect Summer Fit for Your Child</strong></p>



<p>Summer is coming quickly, and the Grand Rapids Kroc Center is ready with specialty camps designed to help kids stay active, build skills, and have a whole lot of fun along the way. From sports to swimming to ceramics, these camps give children and teens the chance to try something new, grow in confidence, and enjoy a memorable week at the Kroc.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whether your child loves being in the water, on the court, on the field, or getting creative with their hands, there is a specialty camp made just for them. Our&nbsp;<strong>Basketball Camp</strong>&nbsp;runs&nbsp;<strong>July 6–10 from 10 AM–12 PM for ages 7–14</strong>&nbsp;and gives both new and experienced players the chance to work on fundamentals, skill practice, 3-on-3 games, and a final game on Friday for family and friends to enjoy. Member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$75</strong>, and non-member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$100</strong>. Registration closes&nbsp;<strong>June 24 at 5 PM</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>For children who love creativity,&nbsp;<strong>Ceramics Camp</strong>&nbsp;offers a hands-on week of learning with clay. Campers ages&nbsp;<strong>7–15</strong>&nbsp;will explore construction, glazing, and even try throwing on the wheel. This camp takes place&nbsp;<strong>July 6–10 from 9:30 AM–12 PM</strong>. Member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$110</strong>, and non-member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$155</strong>. Registration also closes&nbsp;<strong>June 24 at 5 PM</strong>. All supplies are included, which makes this camp an easy and exciting choice for families looking for a creative summer experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>If your child is ready to bump, set, and serve,&nbsp;<strong>Volleyball Camp</strong>&nbsp;is scheduled for&nbsp;<strong>July 13–17 from 10 AM–12 PM for ages 7–14</strong>. Campers will train each day in serving, passing, attacking, blocking, and defensive skills, then show what they have learned during a final-day scrimmage that family and friends are invited to watch. Member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$75</strong>, and non-member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$100</strong>. Registration closes&nbsp;<strong>July 1 at 5 PM</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Two more strong options arrive the following week.&nbsp;<strong>Football Camp</strong>&nbsp;takes place&nbsp;<strong>July 20–24 from 10 AM–12 PM for ages 7–14</strong>&nbsp;and focuses on football fundamentals, position-specific development, and flag football skills in a fun, high-energy setting. Member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$75</strong>, and non-member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$100</strong>. Registration closes&nbsp;<strong>July 8 at 5 PM</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Also during that same week,&nbsp;<strong>Swim Camp</strong>&nbsp;offers an outstanding opportunity for children ages&nbsp;<strong>5–12</strong>&nbsp;to build confidence and skills in the water. Held&nbsp;<strong>July 20–24 from 9 AM–12 PM</strong>, Swim Camp helps children develop safe habits around the pool while being grouped by comfort level and current ability. On the last day, swimmers will have the chance to show family and friends their new skills and play games using what they have learned. Member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$125</strong>, and non-member pricing is&nbsp;<strong>$175</strong>. Registration closes&nbsp;<strong>July 8 at 5 PM</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>These camps are more than just a way to fill the summer calendar. They are a chance for kids to stay active, discover new interests, and make lasting memories in a supportive, encouraging environment. But summer has a way of sneaking up on families, and registration deadlines will be here before you know it.</p>



<p>Now is the time to make your summer plans. If your child has been wanting to try a new sport, sharpen their skills, gain confidence in the water, or explore their artistic side, the Kroc’s specialty camps are a great place to start. Space is limited, and the best weeks tend to fill first, so early registration is the smart play. After all, summer waits for no one.</p>



<p><strong>Register today and give your child a summer filled with growth, fun, and new experiences at the Kroc.</strong></p>
