Parkour Camp

Adventurous kids will love expending their energy in this unique parkour workshop (yes, like the American Ninja Warrior show). Campers navigate the obstacles in the environment around them while learning to safely engage whether they’re running, climbing, swinging, jumping or rolling. Ratios are small (no more than five campers per staffer), which means everyone gets a lot of individualized attention. West Windsor Arts Center, Princeton Junction. Apr. 6. 9 am–3 pm. Ages 8–12. Before/aftercare: $10/hour. $90/child. 609-716-1931, westwindsorartscenter.org

Coastal Sports, Fairfield. Apr. 6–10. 9 am–4 pm. Ages 5–14. Before/aftercare: $10/hour. $250/child. 973-521-5100, coastalsportsnj.com
