School is out

for a few weeks and there are two local camps that will help keep the

young area athletes entertained. If your child is into golf or baseball,

there is a camp out there for them.

The Wendell

21-22, Dec. 26-28 and Jan. 2-4. The cost of the Dec. 21 and 22 camp is

$80 while the other camps are $120. Camp begins at 8:30 a.m. with a warm

the short game until 11 a.m. The campers work on putting from 11-11:30

a.m. which is followed by lunch and a golf video. After lunch, the campers

enjoy nine holes on the par three course. Phone 770-969-4469 or stop by

the center to register for the camp.
