Something For Everyone!

Kick it up this summer with great opportunities for boys and girls pre-k through grade 12. Academic, artistic, athletic, or just plain fun!

Letter from the Director At CSG Summer Programs, we know that summer is an important time for each child to develop new interests, reinforce learning habits, and explore a range of personal opportunities.

Our programs are centered on academic enrichment and experiential learning that is rooted in STEM/STEAM principles with a student-centered focus in a fun summer environment. CSG Summer Programs have been developed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence in each child, whether in the classroom, the pool, the playing field, or in the many venues of the city. We honor diversity as a central focus of learning and welcome all children, boys and girls, ages 3-18 from around the Columbus neighborhood and beyond.

This year we are really excited for: • New morning themes for the Explore! Program and

grades 1-3 •

63% of the morning grade 4-9 classes are new classes

•

•

Girls Leadership Retreat to the Grand Canyon

Warm Regards,

Rachel Barends, Director of CSG Summer Programs

Whether your children are artists, actors, scientists, writers, athletes, or anything in between, we welcome them to explore their many talents and interests with us!

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive co-educational experience for children from pre-k through grade 12, in which children have opportunities to explore many of their educational and extracurricular interests.

We have added new and exciting academic enrichment classes that provide opportunities for your child in areas where they may need extra support, and sports programs to develop and enhance their athletic abilities.

Several credit courses are offered for students in grades 9-12, including public speaking, civics, health, and physical education classes. Come enjoy summer’s casual atmosphere in CSG’s stateof-the-art facilities.

Our Summer Programs are designed to help students develop new interests and friendships in a fun, stimulating, learning-centered environment blended with challenges and adventures that offer unique, confidence-building educational experiences. We look forward to having you join us on our summer adventures!

The Explore! Program for children ages 3-5, who will be entering Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten this fall, offers a co-educational, academically and socially enriching curriculum that allows children to expand their horizons and explore the world around them. Children lead the discovery process through investigation and project-based learning. CSG Summer Programs’ unique approach emphasizes the development of the whole child, and encourages children to become proactive in their learning and discoveries. In the Explore! Program, students will view the world through joyous, curious eyes, seeing possibility and opportunity in every activity. The Explore!

Program provides authentic and engaging ways for children to interact with each other and learn from their surroundings.

Exploring the Classroom The Explore! Program is located in CSG’s Columbia House, a separate on-campus facility designed specifically for Early Childhood development. Young children enrolled in the program will have the opportunity to engage in age-appropriate activities that promote independent thinking, problem-solving, and social-emotional growth. Each classroom is equipped with centers for writing, building, dramatic play, and sensory exploration. Columbia House also offers a shared studio space for collaborative, integrated media projects with a new theme each week. Such classroom and studio work deepens understanding and provides the kind of hands-on exploration that promotes excitement in learning.

Exploring the Water All students will have the opportunity to partake in daily swimming lessons from our WSI certified swim staff. These Water Safety Instructors will evaluate each child’s strengths and group students based on skill and comfort in the water.

Swim lessons help children strengthen their bodies, develop and refine large motor skills, and learn a lifelong skill while having fun! Children will be encouraged to challenge themselves to grow as swimmers and become confident in an aquatic environment.

Exploring the Outdoors Our natural outdoor play space enhances the range of learning by allowing children to re-imagine how they engage in outdoor play; this encourages curiosity and wonder at the workings of the natural world. While typical playgrounds provide children with a structured setting in which they can develop large-motor skills, CSG’s natural play space also encourages children to interact dynamically with their play space, inviting them to create meaningful play scenarios. Our new studentdesigned tree house provides a unique occasion for wonder, and offers children a world of creative possibilities, opportunities for discovery, and an appreciation of the outdoors.

I like the balance between

fun and education.
