Parent comment: “My children have attended Amara Yoga & Arts for kids for the second year and they absolutely love the relaxed and fun atmosphere of the studio. During their art classes on Saturday mornings, the children have a chance to freely explore and express their creativity with a variety of media in 2D and 3D. Our son (age 7), who attended more classes than our daughter (age 9) due to schedule availability, brings home a number of very interesting art objects that he creates with the help of the amazing instructors. These are not only functional but very attractive indeed. Yoga and arts help keep him focused on doing something that he truly enjoys. I recommend enrolling your child in the Yoga and Arts for kids at Amara.”

Parent Comment: Uni Summer Camp is a fantastic way for Central Illinois students and parents to learn if University Laboratory High School is a public high school option for them. The summer camp for students entering grades 5, 6, and 7 offers a great introduction to the warm, creative, diverse, fun and academically rigorous culture of Uni. If your child is bright, self-directed, self-motivated, insatiably curious about everything and enjoys being around other kids who are also, you should seriously consider checking out the summer camp. Our African American family was introduced to Uni when our son attended the camp for rising 5th graders, and he attended camp every summer until he was accepted and began attending as a student in 8th grade. Our son has always flourished in settings of academic rigor, first the Champaign Pubic Schools elementary gifted program, then in the honors curriculum in middle school. The Uni camp offers a mix of curriculum from the creative arts to the scientific, from the mathematical to the literary. Staffed with Uni faculty and upper-class students, you truly get a sense of the character and vibe of school’s academic and social environment. Don’t hesitate to look because you don’t know – check it out! CloLeeta A. Simpson

Parent Comment: ” These camps have benefited my kids physically as well as mental outlets and a boost for their self-esteem, as they improved on their athletic abilities. These are priceless benefits to me as a mother, to see my children improve on their skills as well as improving their overall health. As my son got in better shape he improved his overall performance in football and this has helped him to feel better about himself. It has also lead him to focus at school because he feels better about himself and wants to keep moving forward with football. The same is true for my daughter she is happier as she gets in better shape and becomes better in volleyball.
