|
Athens, Ga. - (March 8, 2008) - The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education is currently accepting enrollments for the 2008 Summer Academy at UGA (SAUGA). SAUGA is a popular series of summer day camps designed to keep the minds and bodies of 10- to 17-year-olds active during summer break. Camps begin the week of June 2, 2008, and are held at the Georgia Center, 1197 S. Lumpkin St., Athens, Ga.
Since 2001, SAUGA has enriched the summers of more than 300 campers and has provided fun instructional activities in a wide range of subjects. Programs are divided into one and two-week sessions. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.
This year's new camp offerings include:
* Sing Your Heart Out - an American Idol-style voice workshop
* Young Actors Camp - taught by Lisa Mende, an actress who appeared on "Seinfeld," an Emmy-award winning TV series
* Mini Medical School - campers will "perform surgery" on mock specimens, take medical board exams, review x-rays, visit a dentist office, and much more
* Rockin' Rockets - explore aerodynamics and physics
* Young Point of View - in-depth photography camp
* Screenwriting and Production
Other popular returning camps include DAWGWarts, a Harry Potter-themed camp; Video Production Camp, Comic Book Creation and Cartooning Camp.
