Plan Your Summer at the Arkansas YES! Camp Fair & Sports Expo
Parents know it can be a real headache to find meaningful and fun summer classes and camps for all ages. There are so many options in central Arkansas - where does a busy parent begin? This year, summer planning begins on Saturday, April 30 at Arkansas YES! (Youth Enjoying Summer), a summer camp fair and sports expo from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at War Memorial Stadium/AT&T Field.
Tickets are now available online, here!
Presented by Little Rock Family and ArkansasSports360.com and sponsored by Windstream, St. Vincent Health System, Simmons First Bank and the Arkansas Travelers, the event brings together more than 20 exhibitors offering summer camps, classes and enrichment activities. Parents can visit with instructors and register on the spot.
The goal of the day is to have families leave with a full summer calendar. While mom and dad peruse the vendors, kids ages 4–12 can take the field to participate in skills sessions and friendly sports competitions. Volunteers from Junior Deputy Baseball, LifeCHAMPS football, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Arkansas Basketball, YMCA Soccer and The First Tee will be on hand to instruct the sessions. Each organization will receive a portion of the proceeds from the event. Climbing walls, bounce houses and other activities for younger children will also be available.
Every person who attends gets a complimentary ticket to any home game at Dickey-Stephens Park courtesy of the Arkansas Travelers.
General admission to the event is $5 per person. Each competition costs $2. YES! BUCKS for the competitions will be available at the door. Advance tickets, complete with $4 worth of YES! BUCKS, are available through the youth sports organizations.
