Coming into my second year as Camp Director, I am absolutely, positively, unapologetically ECSTATIC to get this summer started. Why, you ask? First of all, I cannot wait to see all of the returning campers! I loved getting to know all of their unique personalities and, even more so, loved seeing them have such a wonderful time learning and growing. Secondly, I cannot wait to meet all of the new campers and get to know each and every one of them. One of my favorite parts of being Camp Director is being able to witness, first hand, how well children mesh in a relaxed, close-knit environment. The joy on their faces once they grow a bond with other campers and camp leaders is probably one of the coolest things ever. And finally, I cannot wait to see all of our new and exciting courses in action. This summer, we will of course have the long-standing Camp Lotsafun during the month of June but we will also be having a S.T.E.M. Engineering Academy (formally LEGO Academy) and the newly added Black Rocket Creative Sciences and Digital Arts Academy. Everything offers something unique and different - there is surely something for everyone. So what are you waiting for? Join me for Summer at SouthArk 2014!

The magic in every camper comes to life as never before when they are empowered to be as creative as they were all born to be. The Black Rocket Creative Sciences and Digital Arts Academy is powered by the camper’s innate imagination, and designed to bring their ideas to life in a fun, simple, learning environment. From concept to creation and from pre-production to premiere! Camps are designed under the creative direction of Bill Zengel, who has two decades of award winning work as a writer and producer in advertising, television and more. Richard Ginn, who won Teacher of the Year at US News and World Report’s #7 ranked High School in the United States, and is also an experienced school administrator, partners with Bill to ensure your child’s experience is of the highest level. Black Rocket provides unique enrichment and educational programs to children and young adults. Our distinct programs in Creative Sciences, Digital Arts and Leadership focus on the intersection of creativity and technology. Each course emphasizes self-empowerment, cognitive reasoning, and divergent thinking through hands on learning. Each of our classes are divided into age appropriate sections that increase in complexity and challenge your child to reach their full potential. All Black Rocket programs mirror real life experiences and the collaborative nature of the creative process. Students will work in pairs or teams for most of the design process.

More information: All student projects are uploaded by the instructor on the last day of class to http://blackrocket.com/students. The students can access their project from anywhere in the world as long as they have a computer and internet. To access their projects the students must have an account. On the first day of class students receive a ‘golden ticket’ from their teachers. The parents of each student must fill out the golden ticket and return the second day of class.

After a year the projects are sent to our archives and parents will need to send an email request to access their projects. All student projects must conform to organization and Black Rocket acceptable use policies. All sessions of the Black Rocket Digital Sciences and Creative Arts Academy will be held in the SouthArk Center for Workforce Development located on SouthArk’s east campus, 3698 E.

We will do the same for you...Scouts honor. 4. Always follow the rules of good behavior established by parents and teachers. Again, we want to have a blast with you! Believe me, more fun is had when we all play nicely.

The office is found in the administrative suite of the Center for Workforce Development. 2. Cell phones and other electronic items are not allowed unless explicit instructions are provided by the camp director. In cases of emergency, the camper may come to the front office and use the phone (with teacher’s permission only).

Campers are responsible for their own personal belongings and should not bring any money or valuables. Campers are not allowed to use the vending machines.
