The Mad Scientist’s Fun Camp, for ages 6 to 12, will be held June 16 and June 17 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Southwood Community Center. Campers will learn with hands-on experiments to explore biology, chemistry and physics. Lessons will be examined on topics such as magnetism, motion, states of matter, chemical reactions and

The city will also offer swim lessons. “One of the core programs of the Parks & Recreation Department is swim lessons,” Nesbitt said. “Swimming is an important life skill that all children should learn early on. There are so many benefits in learning to swim, and your child will get pleasure from the ability throughout childhood and into adulthood. Not only is it great for their health, but it could one day save their life.”
Swim lessons are provided for children 6 months old to adults. For a complete swim lesson schedule, call 979-764-3540 or visit http://cstx.gov/.

such as Shipwrecked Lagoon, where swimmers can dress like a pirate and get in free from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on June 18; Treasure Hunt, which will feature pirate games from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on June 25; and Christmas in July, where swimmers will be able to decorate an ornament and take a picture with Santa on July 30.
Other athletic programs offered through the city include Hershey’s Track and Field Games on May 17 at 10 a.m.; Summer Track and Field, which begins June 2; and Challenger Bowling, which begins the beginning of June. S.P.O.R.T.S Summer Camps, which is designed to introduce kids to a variety of
sports, will be held in June. This is for children ages 3 to 12 and will feature lessons on golf, tennis, disc golf and soccer.

A new theme will lay out the activities each week, as children learn skills such as first-
aid, leadership and fitness.
The camp, which will begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. each day, will cost $100 per week for the first child and $90 per week for each additional child, or $25 per child per day.

Tanglewood and Villa West parks. For more information on this program, call 979-209-5528 or visit www.bryantx.gov.
Hershey’s Track and Field Games will be held at Merrill Green Stadium on May 17 at 10 a.m. According to the city’s website, the mission of Hershey Track and Field Games is to provide a quality recreation and school program where children have fun and are introduced to physical fitness through basic track and field events, such as running, jumping and throwing.

will provide a diverse selection of music to the park,” said Kelli Nesbitt, marketing coordinator for the city’s Parks & Recreation Department. “May 3 is a great way to kick off Cinco De Mayo with a performance from Del Castillo, an Austin-based Latin rock band.”
Johnson is expected to bring a large crowd, Nesbitt added, with Texas country music, such as his popular song, “Dance Her Home.” Wertz’s songs are soulful, singer-songwriter pop music. He has played with artists such as Ben Folds, Jamie Cullum and One Republic.
Nesbitt said the music series started 13 years ago, when the city
partnered with College Station Utilities to bring large-scale concerts to “a hometown venue.”
There are no seats at the amphitheater, so guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets if they wish. They can also bring coolers (48 quarts or smaller) containing refreshments, but glass containers are not allowed.
“Bring your family and friends to enjoy a night of music under the stars,” Nesbitt said. “While food will be available for purchase, concert-goers are welcome to bring a picnic supper to enjoy, as well as lawn chairs or blankets for seating.”
Besides refreshments, souvenir shirts will also
be on sale. Parking is available at Post Oak Mall, and handicap parking will be located off of Colgate Drive.
For more information, including music samples from the artists and links to their websites, visit cstx.gov/starlight.

Several children’s programs will be offered at libraries and museums in the Bryan-College Station area to help keep kids active and engaged during the summer break.
LiBrarieSThe Bryan-College Station
Library System will offer several programs this summer. In addition to these programs, the Clara B. Mounce Public Library and the Larry J Ringer Library will offer summer reading logs for children to keep track of how many days they spend reading. Reading logs can be picked up at either library from May 19 through July 31, and children have until Aug. 31 to turn in completed reading logs. Logs are complete after 30 days of reading, which do not have to be consecutive; children also aren’t required to read for a certain amount of time each day, librarian Kendra Perkins said.
Perkins said children should continue reading during the summer.
“Research shows that school-aged children who do not read throughout the summer will experience a serious loss in reading achievement, resulting in a gap that widens with every successive school year, Perkins said. “In an effort to remedy this, the Bryan-College Station Library System is once again offering its annual Summer Reading Program. These free and fun educational events are designed to keep every child in our community learning and reading all summer long.”
Larry J. Ringer LibraryThe Larry J. Ringer Library,
1818 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South in College Station, will hold several children’s programs and family events over summer break.
On June 3, from 9 a.m. to 11
a.m., vehicles from the City of College Station-- a fire truck and a police car -- will be outside of the library for children to view. Animal Day will be held on June 10 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. outside, and children will be able to see animals, such as rabbits and miniature horses. Other programs will include the Texas A&M University Chemistry Road Show, Bug Day and Art Day.
Storytime will be offered on Wednesdays. Toddler Storytime will begin at 10 a.m. and Family Storytime will begin at 11 a.m.
In addition to these programs, other events and activities will include Superhero Academy for students in kindergarten through fourth grade, on May 30 from
2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.; a family scavenger hunt from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on June 21; a presentation of the play, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” presented by College Station ISD Summer Enrichment, on June 25 at 10 a.m.; and a puppet show at 10 a.m. on Aug. 2.
Several tween/teen programs will also be offered this summer. A pool party for this age group will be held July 28 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Adamson Lagoon. Teens/ tweens must attend at least one event at the library and have a signed permission slip to attend. Contact Kendra at 979-764-3416 or [email protected] for more information.

MuSeuMSGeorge Bush Presidential
Library and MuseumThe George Bush Presidential
Library and Museum, 1000 George Bush Drive West in College Station, will offer its annual Exploring History Summer Camp from July 7 through Aug. 8 on weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Our annual Exploring History Summer Camp program is a fun and educational way to engage with students and increase their awareness and understanding of history, government and other important subjects,” said Monica Lerma, education specialist at
the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. “This year’s camp, ‘Fueling the Future’ ties in with our new exhibit ‘Offshore Drilling: The Promise of Discovery’ and challenges students to think about our energy usage and sources now and in the future.”
Each week-long camp will feature “Energy and Me” – types of energy on day one; “Renewable Resources” – solar, wind, hydro power, biomass” on day two; “Non-Renewable Resources” – fossil fuels and coal on day three; “Petroleum” – off-shore drilling on day 4; and “Conservation” on day five.
According to the museum’s website, activities will include science experiments, field trips and art class. Children will learn about energy conservation, renewable and non-renewable resources and where energy comes from, and they will get an in-depth look at petroleum and offshore drilling.
This camp is geared for children ages 7 to 11, and is $30 per
day. For more information or to register for this camp, visit http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/education/summer_programs.php.The Children’s Museum of
the Brazos ValleyThe Children’s Museum of the
Brazos Valley, 4001 East 29th St. in Bryan, will offer its annual summer camps from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day from June 2 and through Aug. 8 (with the week of June 30 to July 4 off ).
“Our summer camps offer an educational and fun way to keep kids busy in the summer,” said Amy Hall, director of education at the museum.
Each week will offer a different theme. The museum will offer camps for two different age ranges: 4 to 6 and children 7 and older. The camp price is $30 per day and $140 per week for standing ovation members or $40 per day and $190 per week for all others. Discounts are available for sibling registration.
