SUMMER˘ ADVENTURES

Dear Summer Adventures Parents and Friends, Welcome back to another super exciting year of Summer Adventures! I am so grateful to have known many of you for so many years and look forward to meeting new families each year. At Summer Adventures, we strive to provide programs that will build upon your child’s interest and knowledge of a subject while generating a love for learning and the quest for greater understanding and developing problem-solving skills. From early childhood years, where discovery and play are natural forms of learning, to older students working toward a greater understanding of the world around them, the beautiful 63-acre campus and buildings at Portledge provide an ideal environment for learning. This summer, we will incorporate more nature and outdoor study in our early childhood programs, utilizing the Reggio Emilia approach that embraces the outdoors and specially outfitted classrooms as the “third teacher”. Our most recent survey revealed the need for more in-depth learning in building, engineering, and woodworking classes, so we are offering options for more advanced work in those fields. Please read this brochure to learn more about Go Baby Go Car Building and what instructors like Luke Johnson, Jane Powel and Paul Ascolesce have planned for this summer. Cooking classes are also being added as well as a fantastic new volleyball program taught by former professional Rese McNatt, and an enhanced golf program taught by Mike Zguris, the Women’s Varsity golf coach at LIU Post. The Theatre program will perform – and we are excited to add the Footlights program in August for our older thespians. Four Open Houses are scheduled, each offering an opportunity to tour our wonderful facility, meet the teachers, and sample our activities. We look forward to an exciting and enriching summer for your child!

Sincerely, Melissa Worth,Director of Summer Adventures (516) 750-3104 summeradventures@portledge.org www.sa.portledge.org

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM

Program dates: Monday, June 25 through Friday, August 10, 2018

7 FULL WEEKS of fun, enrichment and play for your young child !

Early Childhood at Portledge Summer Adventures is a fun and dynamic program for children ages 2-6 years old with lunch and snack included. Recognizing that each child brings an innate curiosity and sense of wonder to his or her learning, the Early Childhood program builds upon these organic learning processes to encourage collaborative learning. We will continue with weekly themes that will engage your child in Reggio Emilia inspired classroom settings, while also adding new options to your child’s schedule. Each day, your child will continue to engage in indoor and outdoor play, as play is the most effective method for growth and learning at the early childhood age. Daily activities will also include water play, art, music, and yoga. We have added an interactive discovery zone to each classroom, where children may share interesting or beloved items they bring from home or from nature, providing a more personalized opportunity to explore and discover. Children will use their senses, touch these items and then document their discoveries and observations by drawing and writing. We look forward to seeing what everyone brings in to share and what children learn from their world and from what others have to share. And, of course, each week will wrap up with our Special Visitor.

We also look forward this summer to more early childhood ADD-ONS!! Children love water, so we will offer two weeks of WATER PLAY ADD-ON. We will use the outdoors as our canvas and for inspiration as our OUTDOOR ART EXPLORERS ADD-ON, and use fine motor skills in our CLAY PLAY ADD-ON. Keep an eye out for these fun new classes to extend your child’s day at Summer Adventures.
