Playmates Preschools & Child Development Centers will hold a Summer Camp Olympics on Monday, according to a news release from the organization.

The event is the end of a summer-long learning experience.  Throughout the last couple months, children have learned about a country they picked.

The kids have spent the summer "becoming citizens of that nation."

Organizers say Monday's event is designed to teach the kids about sportsmanship and participation.

Shot put, long jump, and running are some of the activities the kids will be participating in.

There will also be trivia questions about the countries they have learned about.
