Howdy ho, Sedona camperinos, school’s out for summer, but registration is open for Sedona Parks and Recreation Summer Camps, which offers programming to hone the skills of the next generation of pickleball phenoms to the budding herpetologist in your home.

The Seth Korrey Tennis Academy is hosting a youth pickleball camp which is a half-day program open to all skill levels.

“Pickleball has been, and remains, one of the fastest growing sports of any age group, so it’s a great opportunity to hang out with other campers, but it’s also an opportunity to hone some skills that have the potential to serve you for the rest of your life,” Sedona Special Events Coordinator Jason Vargo said.

■ Challenger Soccer: Session 1 is Monday, June 1, to Friday, June 5; Session 2, is Monday, June 22, to Sunday, June 26. Ages 3 to 5, $120 per student, 8 to 8:45 a.m. Ages 6 to 12, half-day, $185 per student, 9 a.m. to noon or 1 to 4 p.m. Ages 8 to 12, full-day, $260 per student, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All participants must have prior off-road riding experience and a properly equipped mountain bike.

“The Mountain Bike Academy has historically been one of our fastest filling camps,” Vargo said. “They do require that the campers have a competency for riding a mountain bike off road, because of the level that they teach. We’re super stoked that they are willing to partner with us to offer our youngsters an opportunity to learn a bunch.”

■ Missoula Children’s Theatre’s “Peter and Wendy” Monday, July 27, to Saturday, Aug. 1; auditions July 27, 9 to 11:45 a.m.; rehearsals Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., but the time commitment will vary depending on the role; performances Saturday, Aug. 1, at 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Entering first through 12th grades.

“I’m also excited about our second year of First Responders Camp,” Vargo said. “We’re working with the Sedona Police Department and the Sedona Fire District and our lifeguard crew to create another super immersive and fun first-responders camp.”

The camp will cover a simulation of a dispatch center, demonstrations of incidents with activities, along with tours of SPD and SFD vehicles and talks from officers and firefighters.

“Sacred Eagle Art Camp is another one that’s backed by popular demand and has also had a solid enrollment response so far,” Vargo said. “One of the highlights for that camp is that on the last day of camp, when parents come to pick up their campers, they get to experience an art show, which showcases all of the projects that they’ve done over the course of the week. We have two sessions of the Sacred Eagle Art Camp this year due to popular demand.”
