Making the Most Out of Spring Break


Most families go on vacation this week-- but for those who stick around there's plenty for kids to do here in Syracuse.

One way a child can have fun, stay active, and at the same time make the most of spring break is by going to soccer camp.

About 20 kids-- ranging from ages four to fifteen-- are starting off a week of soccer camp at the Central New York Sports Centre. Instead of sitting around, watching television, and being lazy-- these kids are at camp.
Most kids are at this camp to stay busy and have fun. But one student, Skylar Hilton, is here looking to improve her skills. She wants to play on her high school team, so any extra practice helps.
While the kids enjoy kicking a soccer ball around all day-- the parents say soccer camp is a great idea too.

One parent says he is in full support of the extra activity and his daughter getting to physically play soccer all day.

The parents are happy. While the kids are at camp, they can still work, run errands, and have time to themselves.

And the best part, the kids aren't home with a baby sitter, spending spring break on the couch.
Instead the kids are out on the field.

A full week at this camp costs 90 dollars.
