WHY SUMMER QUEST CAMPS?

Welcome to our 46th year of offering summer programs to the community. With more than 175 camps, starting in June and extending through the end of August, we are sure to provide the fun and engaging camp experience you and your child are seeking. Our beautiful campuses provide an ideal setting for your child to be comfortable, while also pushing the boundaries of their abilities. Over our 40 years, our offerings have changed with the needs of our community; however, our emphasis on quality and offering the best possible summer camp experience has remained unchanged.

• Collegiate Summer Quest offers more than 175 different programs for preschoolers through adults. For the past 14 years, over 50% of Summer Quest campers have been non-Collegiate students.

MANY CAMPS FILL TO THEIR MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT. REGISTER EARLY TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE. The Summer Quest Office is located in Luck Hall, on the Lower School Campus.

Summer Quest office hours are 8 a.m – 3 p.m., Monday-Friday.

Collegiate School will be closed on Wednesday, July 4.

Learn all about 3D printing in this hands-on and exciting weeklong camp where campers will use 3D modeling software to make their own designs come to life on a 3D printer; no experience necessary!

Participants will employ the creative thinking spiral to imagine, create, experiment and iterate, and are encouraged to bring their imaginations to create anything from the highly practical to the whimsical.

3D printing will be taught by 3D Central in conjunction with Catherine Clements. Catherine is a librarian in the Middle School at Collegiate. She co-manages the Reed-Gumenick Library Makerspace, where students freely explore a variety of STEAM projects from sewing and knitting to 3D printing and electronics. She is a lifelong maker and has coached a Jr. FIRST LEGO League team here in Richmond. 3D Central is the Richmond area’s one-stop shop for everything 3D printed. With more than 10 years of combined experience with desktop 3D Printing, the 3D Central team has become experts in their field. They started primarily as a manufacturing company, building goods with their printers using open source designs. Over time, the scope of these goods has grown from simple accessories and toys to custom-built costumes and full electronics. Using their printers to manufacture enduser goods, they have become adept at how to design and build for 3D printers.

Shannon Dowling, Juicebox Architects Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders June 18 – 22 • 9 a.m – 12 p.m. $215 • Bring a healthy snack and filled water bottle from home each day.

Building is fun, tangible and part of our everyday experience.

Juicebox Architects teaches kids about the built environment by exploring art, social studies, language arts, history, science and math through hands-on activities designed to encourage creative, outsidethe-box thinking. Architecture helps with visual learning, observation, reasoning and critical thinking. The camp will engage children physically and mentally as they use their imaginations and become designers for a week.

We will design floor plans and build a miniature neighborhood, take a look at structural concepts by creating toothpick bridges, and engage in discussions about scale, foundation, loads and aesthetics by designing skyscrapers that scale the walls of our School. Campers will learn about structures using our own bodies as support columns, we will make our own stools that can hold our parents and we will even build a geodesic dome that campers can occupy. We will work as individuals and in groups to look at real-life problems and simplified versions of what architects do each day. This camp is ideal for children who like to create, draw and build – children who aren’t afraid to be original, take risks, explore new ideas and even get a little messy!

Shannon Dowling has both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in architecture. She has worked on everything from schools to libraries to home additions. She studied design and practiced architecture, not only in her hometown of Richmond, but also in New York and Los Angeles. Her work has been included in a number of exhibits, including the Biennale in Venice and at the Dia Center for the Arts in Manhattan. She has three young children of her own and loves building young creative minds as much as she loves architecture.

• A yoga mat will be provided for each student and they can take it home at the end of the week.

Little Yogis camp is designed specifically with the creative and active elementary student in mind. Absolutely no prior experience is necessary! This camp will provide students the opportunity to practice fitness, enhance healthy body awareness and increase strength, flexibility and balance in a fun, non-competitive, artistic environment.

Each class is comprised of three parts. During the first segment, students will explore different yoga poses through games, interactive stories and creative movements. Participants will spend the second part of class studying a different mindfulness technique each day. This segment will end with a short period of quiet and stillness during which students will follow guided relaxations and concentrate on breath work. Yogis will spend the final third of their morning as mindful artists, revisiting the day’s physical yoga practice and meditation experiences through different mediums. Little Yogis is the ultimate multisensory experience! Each afternoon, camp participants will come home with yoga “homework” which has two goals. It will, firstly, emphasize and recap the day’s theme (the physical and meditative practices) and secondly, encourage a dialogue about personal reactions and observations from the morning session between little yogis and a family member or friend. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely.

The math content of our camp is based on the book Let’s Play Cards: Games and Activities for Ages 3-100 by Nicola Byford and Frances Coleman. While the campers will think they are just having fun, they will really be strengthening their mathematical abilities: problem-solving skills, number sense, spatial skills, memory and much more. There are so many math skills that can be learned from a deck of cards!

We will also be visiting the library, creating art projects, playing at center time and getting to know the Lower School campus. Our camp will culminate in a celebration on the last day, when the children will be encouraged to come to camp dressed as their favorite nursery rhyme or fairy tale character. Parents will be invited to join us for the afternoon to read nursery rhymes and play cards. Each child will take home a book of rhymes and stories, plus a standard deck of cards and a copy of Let’s Play Cards.

WOODWORKING FOR LOWER SCHOOLERS Rising 1st – Rising 4th Graders June 18 – 22 • 1 – 3 p.m. $185 • Projects and activities will be adjusted for the grade level of participants.

This camp allows your child to be immersed in the world of fine woodworking through the safe use of bronze planes, straight and curved chisels, specialty saws and measuring/marking tools.

Woodworking at Collegiate identifies naturally as craft, but it also provides opportunities for individual artistic expression. Prior skills of arithmetic and language are summoned, and the emphasis is on developing a plan and executing it to conclusion.

Each camper is given his or her own set of materials and tools, and each will not only create four to five individual projects to take home, but will also work with other students to create a separate class piece of woodwork. The process will mimic an 18th-century master/ apprentice model whereby an adult craftsman would literally work alongside a child – designing, cutting, shaping and fitting assorted components into a final product. Let your child come make some noise with a mallet and cut some long wood shavings on the way to a beautiful result.

For more information, contact the Summer Quest office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

Virginia Outside Ages 11 – 15 Session I: June 11 – 15 • 8:30 a.m – 4:30 p.m.

The emphasis will be on creating Minecraft maps using satellite data and geographic information from the real world (remember the one outside?) to build our Minecraft civilizations in the same places that our real civilizations emerged: The Fertile Crescent, Indus Valley, Yellow River Valley, Mesoamerica, Norte Chico, etc. We’ll simultaneously explore many dimensions of our real civilizations alongside of playing and modding our Minecraft world. And by modding we mean coding our own mods using Minecraft Forge, Java and the Eclipse IDE. (Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about this yet.) By week’s end, we will have learned to use Minecraft as an environment for role-playing, learned some history, learned some Java and created some Minecraft worlds that should be a useful tool for your history teachers, too!

Daniel Bartels is the STEAM coordinator for the Middle and Upper Schools at Collegiate and has taught physics and mathematics since 2002.

OUR WORLD IS A GLOBAL VILLAGE Melanie Marks, Ph.D. Rising 2nd – Rising 6th Graders July 16 – 20 • 9 a.m – 5 p.m. $425 • Bring a lunch and filled water bottle from home each day.

Explore the world with globe trekker Melanie Marks of Longwood University. Campers will “travel” to Africa, Europe, Asia and Central America to learn about the global village in which we all live. Campers will explore both the developed and developing world, learning how daily life and culture in other nations compares and contrasts with their own.

Be assured that every day of camp will be action-packed, educational and a great deal of fun. Child-friendly videos are used to paint a picture for young learners about what life is like in the travel destinations, with daily activities that include international-themed cooking, arts and crafts, games, children’s literature selections and outdoor play so that campers can enjoy the summer weather.

For example, imagine making your own butter for an English tea party (and speaking with an English accent), creating a s’mores factory with chocolate made from African cocoa beans, barter trading like they do in a Burmese hill tribe, carrying buckets on your head like they do in Guatemala, completing the “water challenge” to address water scarcity like they have in rural Uganda, making fruit kabobs like you could be served in the forests of Zimbabwe, professionally tie-dying shirts using bright African colors, learning how to use chopsticks (and then using them in fun relays), dressing the counselors in rice hats and interesting clothing from Southeast Asia for a fashion show, using Chinese fortune tellers to learn about your future and cooking delicious international foods such as dumplings, egg rolls, fried rice, tortillas and tamales. There are simply too many things to list. An economic system runs through the week in which campers can earn “Global Geld,” the camp currency. The geld can be spent in the international market on the last day of camp.

Campers will work to develop a number of skills including 3D modeling, game design and coding in C# using Unity3D, Autodesk Inventor and 3ds Max. By the end of Day 1 you will have “walked” around an environment that you and your team have created. What you have by the end of the week is largely up to the imagination of you and your team. Much of the software we are using is freely available to campers so you can keep creating on your own even after the camp. Campers should have some experience with Unity3D and some coding experience in order to get the most out of this camp.

Some days, things just don’t go your way like when you go to post a selfie and get transported into another dimension, or when you discover your baby sister is not actually teething, but is a brain-hungry zombie.

Then there’s that annoying problem of trying to keep your superpowers on the down-low. We get it. It’s hard being you. Join us as we do a little story swapping about the perils of being unusual.

Richmond Young Writers was founded in the summer of 2009 at Chop Suey Books with the intention of introducing young people to the joy of creative writing through workshops taught by professional writers in the community. We believe that by sharing our words, we’ll be seen, we’ll be heard, we’ll offer an opportunity to understand and to be understood. We believe that writing is a blueprint for living, a way of stepping into parallel lives and worlds in order to discover which we truly wish to inhabit, to forge and to build.

ACADEMICS

UPPER SCHOOL Rising 9th – Rising 12th Graders

Upper School classes completed by Collegiate Middle School students may be taken for advancement, but will not be credited toward graduation requirements or used in the calculation of a student’s GPA. However, these courses will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

All classes meet Monday through Friday, unless otherwise noted. Though the pacing will differ, course content and academic demands remain consistent with the semester-long versions of these electives. Students will earn the same ½ credit they would have earned for taking the course in the fall or spring. These courses are also open to non-Collegiate students seeking summer enrichment opportunities.

A student who misses two or more classes in a four-week Summer Quest academic course typically may not receive academic credit for that course.

Monday – Friday No class on Wednesday, July 4 $1,095 per session Designed for students who have shown an aptitude for creative writing and thought, Fiction Workshop focuses on contemporary literature and fiction writing. In some ways the class will resemble the prototypical English class: you will read, discuss and write about the material you have read. On the other hand, the vast majority of work you produce will be creative rather than critical. By course’s end, you will have written three strong stories and a compelling novella (several chapters in length). This work – presented in an “anthology” along with some of your favorite pieces by your peers – will serve as a testament to your originality and diligence as a fiction writer and editor.

Dr. Bart Thornton chaired the English department for seven years at Collegiate School, where he now serves as dean of faculty.

He teaches American literature, Russian literature, Postmodernism and an interdisciplinary course called Anarchy and the Avant-Garde.

Previously, he taught at independent schools in Houston and Chicago.

In addition to holding a doctorate in English from the University of Texas at Austin, he writes novels and screenplays.

Qualified Collegiate students – those who have earned an Aaverage or better in their last two semesters of English – may take this elective for Honors credit. However, this will require additional, independent reading and writing.

Texts will include poetry, fiction, non-fiction and graphic media, including work from Anthony Swofford, Kevin Powers, Erich Maria Remarque, Garry Trudeau and military blogs written directly from the field. The graphic nature of the subject matter will require a serious and thoughtful approach to a topic that has been a persistent presence in society.

KickStart fitness is not your average workout. There are no machines, no boring routines and best of all, there is something for everyone. Our training methods have been proven at the highest levels of competitive sport to improve your physical performance and energize your personal fitness goals and self-confidence. KickStart fitness is changing the face of Sport Performance Training in Richmond. If you’re ready to make breakthroughs you never thought possible, KickStart is for you.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN A KICKSTART CLASS? A typical KickStart training session will incorporate a dynamic warmup, a period of interval training with movements that will have you squat, lunge, push, pull, brace and rotate. These workouts are designed to maintain an elevated heart rate to extend the benefits of strength training and endurance building.

We focus on proper movement and technique to ensure maximum benefit. Instead of relying on a series of machines to get you through a workout, you learn to rely on your own body and your own strength to propel you towards breakthroughs you never thought possible.

Every day is different. There are always new challenges to take on and new goals to strive for. It’s time to stop making excuses and take a step toward being in the best shape of your life. Hurry! Space is limited to the first 25 eager participants!

“And take upon us the mystery of things as if we were God’s spies...”

– Shakespeare, King Lear The objective of this course is two-fold: 1) To introduce students to the academic study of religion and 2) To survey various topics within the historical, literary and philosophical traditions of the world’s major religions. We will begin by asking some fundamental questions. What is the meaning of religion? What does it mean to be human? What is the relationship between consciousness and religion? Are human beings as human beings necessarily religious beings? In other words, we will consider the possibility that religion is a universal phenomenon – perhaps even a necessary one – in human life.

Then, in attempting to survey some of the Bible and some parts of the world’s major religious traditions, we will give some attention to historical and cultural settings, but we will also emphasize the reading of sacred texts and other critical primary source material in order to grasp something of their insight into the basic religious questions. It is hoped that each student will attain an objective yet sympathetic understanding and appreciation of religion and its role in human affairs.

Brian Justice began teaching in 1992 and he has taught religion and history at Collegiate School since 1996. He has taught and coached with Summer Quest since 1996. Courtney Schweickart has taught at Collegiate since 2015 and this is her 10th year as a teacher.

HEALTH AND SAFETY • A registered nurse and a certified athletic trainer are members of our Summer Quest staff.

• Summer Quest welcomes all families interested in our programs; however, we recognize that some children require more support than we are able to provide. For that reason, we reserve the right after enrollment to recommend that your child be removed from a program should we not be able to provide the required resources. If that is the case, a full refund will be issued. We encourage you to contact the Summer Quest office at 804.741.9714 to discuss your child’s individual needs prior to registration.
