From a superhero-themed fair booth that benefits a community to a successful training camp for superheroes, the Seneca Allegany Community Center in Salamanca, NY is hosting its first ever Superhero Training Camp on Saturday, March 29th.

The training camp will give kids the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities from 10:00am till 3:00pm, such as creating their superhero personas with unique names, powers, catchphrases, and stances. They can participate in a news interview with Sammy Stone, sharing how they saved the city. Kids can also test their agility on an obstacle course, their speed in a sprint, their aim with powerful hammer throws, and their mental prowess with problem-solving tasks. Every superhero needs a disguise, which they can craft at the station that includes mask and shield-making areas, superhero-themed bracelets, and custom event coloring sheets.

The camp will also have two water-based activities at the ACC’s pool: one allows brave kids to navigate a floating obstacle course while a villain tries to knock them off course. Other superheroes on the sidelines will use water blasters to distract the villain and help their fellow hero cross the course.

The training camp remains free, but support for the youth vendors is deeply appreciated. Ages 5-12 is the recommended age group for the training camp, but all ages are welcome, and no one is turned away. Although there are many physical activities available, they also offer a variety of accessible options for those who may not be able to participate in the physical stations.
