and social justice, history, the arts as well as sports. With an abundance of hands-on learning activities and on-campus and off-campus field trips, we will inspire curiosity about what it takes to be great. Campers will don lenses of
discovery and adventure as they examine GOAT (Greatest of All Time) moments, artifacts and structures. And it’s a Summer Olympics year; we’ll end the camp experience with our own Olympic-style field games. Our fun learning experiences will build foundations for literacy, creativity, and academic exploration. Equally important, our campers will master life lessons from their time here with us: 1) the meaning of cooperative work; 2) the impact of the past and how culture and technology have played roles in today’s world; and 3) a sense of wonder such that they develop a lasting appreciation of all our worlds - real and imagined.
