☀️🎉 WEEK 2 OF SUMMER CAMP WRAP-UP 🎉☀️

Week 2 of Summer My Way Camp, presented by Tom Sanger Pool and Spa LLC, was packed with fun, adventure, and new experiences!

Campers built their skills during Skills & Drills Sports Camp, while our Discovery Camp pirates enjoyed a week of treasure-filled adventures. The fun continued with a field trip to Glazer Children’s Museum and exciting Adventure Time trips to PopStroke and Celebration Station.

Our specialty camps kept campers active and engaged with basketball, paddle boarding, tumbling, dance, archery, Prosper Fitness, Kids Run Club, and Cold Exposure training. Campers also got creative with Custom Tumblers and Macramé Heart Tapestries, while aspiring chefs enjoyed Mexican Cooking, the Kids Juicing Experience, and a Pizza Social.

Week 2 was filled with smiles, new friendships, and great memories, and we can’t wait for Week 3! ☀️💙

We’re missing youth sports while we get ready for Indoor Soccer, so we thought we’d share some funny-face team photos from the 2026 Spring Youth Soccer League! 😆⚽

These photos are a great reminder that youth sports are about more than just the games—they’re about friendships, memories, laughter, and having fun along the way. We can’t wait to see everyone back on the field soon!

Happy 8-Year Work Anniversary to Tuna and Tyler!

These two grew up at The Center, and eight years ago they officially joined the payroll. Since then, they have worn many hats, made a lasting impact on our programs and community, and helped make The Center a better place every day.

We’ve been fortunate to watch them grow into the amazing people they are today. They may leave us every now and then, but somehow they always find their way back home to The Center!

Congratulations to Tyler Brewer, our Front Desk Manager, and Tuna McCraken, our Sports & Youth Coordinator, on 8 years of dedication, hard work, and memories. We’re grateful to have you both on our team! 🎉👏💙

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Joey Lester, a dear friend of The Center and the Anna Maria Island community.

Joey’s kindness, generosity, and unwavering support touched countless lives. We are forever grateful for all she and Chuck did for The Center and for the lasting legacy they leave behind.

Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones. Thank you, Joey—you will be greatly missed. ❤️

The Island lost a dear friend with the recent passing of JoAnn “Joey” Lester.
