| 2010 SUMMER
CAMP |
|
Camp comes to an end, but the
memories last forever
 2010 Summer
Camp has been enjoyable for the group of
more than 50 campers and
our wonderful volunteer counselors.
During
July, the group enjoyed many great activites like
swimming, crafts and a visit
to WonderWorks for acrades and Lazer Tag.
They were visited by many great guests,
including Sanford River Rats Baseball Team, Summer
Time Santa, Dr. Hines from UCF who taught them
Improvisational Acting, and Ballroom Dancers. They
ended the last day of camp by making their own
lunches with Ranger Mike and created over 10
different projects during the Arts and Crafts
Festival.

community events and cheerleading competitions.
They are run by the support of the City of

donors. The Altamonte Sparklers are more than just
a cheerleading squad; they are a group of
inspirational athletes who have proven that
anything is possible- if given the
chance!
