Every Monday and Wednesday morning during the summer and after breakfast, the children were engaged in reading clinics taught by graduate students from the College of Education at Georgia State University. While on Mondays the teachers came to Parks Middle School, on Wednesdays two buses picked up the students and dropped them off at Georgia State University where they spent the rest of the day. After their Wednesday reading clinics, the students participated in athletic clinics on campus, with sports such as baseball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and track & field. The athletic clinics were some of the most popular activities for the students throughout the summer. These clinics were run by coaches and athletic teams from the Georgia State University Athletics Department.
Every Friday, the participants of the Mustang Summer Academies went on a field trip. The locations visited were Centennial Olympic Park, a bowling alley, an ice skating rink, the Georgia Aquarium, Coan Park, and Dixie Land. At Centennial Park the kids took part in the watershow, and at Dixie Land they participated in obstacle courses and played arcades. At Coan Park students put on dance and musical performances, as well as participated in recreational activities. Both the students and the staff had an opportunity to participate in these activities. One of the field trips was at Georgia State University’s Cinefest, which is the location where movies are shown. The film being viewed was Happy Feet, and everybody enjoyed watching it, as they enjoyed the rest of the field trips.
