We will build with Legos and K’nex. We will explore electric circuits and computerized toys using basic electronic components, Arduino circuit board devices, and Lego and Technic Robots, (which we will program ourselves as well as control remotely). We will use the engineering design process to tackle problems that we can solve ourselves, with our own hands, by making the solution, and learn how to use many different tools and techniques in the process. Come join the maker revolution.

Campers are encouraged to bring their own PC, Mac, or Chromebook laptop if they have one available, but can use camp-provided PCs if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions What should I bring?

It’s a good idea to always have a water bottle and sunscreen if the camp is outdoors. If a camper does not have the proper equipment, it will be provided. Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate shoes.

If a camper is registered for a full-day camp or has chosen the option to “make a day,” a healthy lunch with several options will be available to her in the Dining Hall. Campers may opt to bring their own lunch or snacks, but the fees will not be reduced. We are a peanut free campus.

What if my daughter doesn’t know anyone in her camp session or camp grouping?

An overwhelming majority of girls do not know anyone in their group on the first day of camp. This is why Harpeth Hall Summer Programs goes above and beyond to make girls feel comfortable on campus while in camp. Remember, teaching girls is all we do. Both faculty leaders and high school counselors encourage girls to make new friends while participating in camp.
