From 7/12-7/18, Mark Arshavsky from the East Cobb Branch participated in the Summer Camp Program and taught for two hours.
This program was initially started in summer of 2020 due to the cancellation of summer camps caused by COVID-19. AYLUS has decided to bring it back again this year. It’s goal is to provide entertainment and teach different skills to children who may be bored at home or want to learn something new. The volunteer or volunteers may teach 1-on-1 or in groups no more than 5. By teaching these kids, we want to help them have fun and relieve some burden from their parents.
Activities that are offered include tennis, basketball, soccer, cooking, drawing, piano, violin, dancing, and more.
Mark Arshavsky contributed by teaching 6 kids tennis.
I taught mostly by hand feeding balls and we slowly got into the kids hitting with each other. I think that this was a good way to give back to the community. There were two groups: one group had 4 kids and the other has two. The groups were made based on skill level, availability, and siblings. I liked teaching them this week as they absorbed a lot of information.
