There will be songs, stories, snacks, crafts, music and more. There will be a snack each day. If your child has a food allergy, let us know.

High Fives

(K975)

(Age 5, entering kindergarten in the fall) Includes more advanced activities for 5-year-olds who will enter kindergarten in the fall. Concepts include: days of the week, months, the alphabet, counting, simple math and patterns. We will draw, write, cut and glue, paint and work on art projects. There will be a snack each day. If your child has a food allergy, let us know.

Babysitting Basics

(K200)

Upon completion, students receive a certificate from the American Safety and Health Institute.

Be an Ocean adventurer

(K042)

You don’t need to visit the ocean to learn all about it. In this class, students will discover how animals survive in the ocean, explore ocean zones, create tide pools and grow crystal “coral” reefs to take home.

Beach Days

(K410)

Enjoy a five-day beach sensory-themed week as we dig into moon sand and create sand slime. Each student will participate in building the strongest floating boat and also create their own jellyfish suncatcher to take home. We will compete in a beach volleyball game and a beach hockey match. At the end of the week, we will conclude with a picnic, making beach bum Chex Mix and an ocean float drink. Let us know of any allergies.

Cooking with Science

(K363)

Do you have an appetite for science? In this class, we will explore cooking through hands-on science experiments.

Students will eat their way through various exciting learning opportunities using elements like matter, solar power and more fun interactive projects. Come hungry and ready to taste test this week.

Crazy Chemical Concoctions

(K212)

Bring out the mad scientist. Join us as we learn the principles of chemistry while experimenting with ordinary household items. Come discover how and why ordinary supplies like vinegar, lemon juice, salt, sugar and glue can create bubbling, oozing, slimy substances sure to gross out your parents. We’ll have a world of fun while learning chemistry basics.

Down on the farm

(K046)

Have you ever thought about what life is like on the farm?

Come join us as we take part in worm exploration, uncover different crops (including popcorn) and so much more.

We hope to see you ‘mooo-ve’ on down to the farm. There will be a snack each day. If your child has a food allergy, let us know.

Experiment with the Brain

(K323)

Explore the wonderful world of the human brain. Find out what part of your brain helps you talk, think, smell and feel.

Answer questions to find out if you are right-brained or leftbrained. We will talk about traumatic brain injury and why you need helmets and seat belts. Design and build a “helmet” for a pseudo-brain (raw egg) and drop it from a significant height to test your design. All age levels will get to dissect an actual sheep brain.

Math on the Move

(K347)

This class goes way beyond pencils and worksheets. We will review math skills, play math games and get moving as we solve problems. The problems you’ll solve will get you moving and thinking. Did you ever think you could do math and have fun? Sign up for this class and you can.

Mini med school

(K045)

Come and join this fun, interactive and hands-on biology class. We will dive deep into the human body and look at everything stretching from your head to your toes. You will get up close and personal with preserved animal organs and get the chance to learn how our body functions. Many exciting and fascinating experiments await.

Roller Coasters and Rockets

(K367)

Join us in designing and building contraptions that are wild, crazy or simply defy logic. As young engineers, we will build our own mini marble roller coasters, slingshot UFO helicopters, create unique skewer structures and shoot rockets into the sky. It’ll be a blast.

STEM Olympics

(K413)

Go for the “gold” with Olympic event themed engineering challenges. Use the principles of gravity, inertia and friction to build the fastest bobsled tracks and ski slopes. Design streamlined javelins that will accurately hit targets. Create buoyant miniature kayaks that will navigate rushing waters and serpentine tracks. These STEM adventures will immerse campers in the science behind Olympic competition.

Summertime Cruise

CULINARY CAMPS SPONSORED IN PART BY

(K414)

All aboard! “Cruise” into port and visit an exotic daily destination. Explore new lands, try local foods and learn foreign games the locals play; all while learning about cultures near and far. Come ready to stamp your passport and explore our big wonderful world.

The Incredible Engineer —Mother Earth

(K415)

We will discover the true architectural engineering created by the earth itself. We will examine how STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) can be found in its purest form in the world around us, while exploring plants, animals, living and nonliving things. Join us as we create recycled paper with nature accents, grow fascinating plants and fungus on rocks and water beads, and examine the jungle that is our backyard. Adventure awaits.

The science of everything gross

(K043)

Travel and Explore

(K044)

Why do skunks smell so bad? Why do humans burp? Why do cuts create scabs? Why does mold grow on food? Investigate all that is nasty in this class that celebrates the science of everything gross.

Teleport around the world and experience hands on cultural experiences in France, French Polynesia, Louisiana, Senegal and Canada. Learn facts about each place and why the French language is important to their culture. We will explore French food, dance to the drums of the islands, celebrate dazzling holidays, create African artwork and compete in our own Quebec festival. Come ready to learn.

Wacky and Weird Art

(K416)

Explore the world of art from a whole new perspective.

Some of the world’s best artists had very unique and unusual ways of creating. You will be painting upside down like Michelangelo, using wacky tools to paint like Vincent van Gogh and using marbles and Hot Wheels cars to paint like Jackson Pollock. Come be weird with us and create some true works of art while having a blast.

Watercolor Art

(K386)
