Camp Form

Academic Enrichment

For one hour each morning, campers receive personal tutoring in Math or Reading based upon results of administered Diagnostic Assessments.  Each camper also receives a Multiple Intelligence Assessment to identify their personal learning style used by out instructors during the tutoring sessions.  This information also helps campers identify their own learning styles and develop strategies for academic success.

Game Design & Animation

Campers learn college-level skills made simple enough for a 1^st-grader to understand and apply!   By designing and creating their own Xbox games – that really work on the Xbox - they gain lifelong coding skills.  Classes in both 2-D and 3-D Animation are offered along with Motion Graphics and Special Effects where they produce visuals using the same techniques as professionals use in commercial and movies.  

So Good Science

Culinary Science is a tasty course led by a professional Chef with formal training in Nutritional Science.  Edible Science and The Chemistry of Making Candy are led by two Science instructors who love making science delicious!  Exploring the role of living yeast as they make pizza, making Sprite using their own formulas, and making different candies from chocolates to gummy bears are just some of the yummy activities students will create in these fun, food-filled courses!

Spa Science classes engage campers in making their own body lotions, bubble, baths and salts, lip balms, nail polish, and fragrances, among other products in this multi-billion dollar industry.  They then create their own Logo Designs for personally created line of beauty products.

STEAM and Robotics

Activities such as Rockin’ Robotics, Robotics and the Internet of Things, Virtual Reality:  Flight & Aviation, Web & App Development, Video Production for YouTube Channels are just some of the activities that will engage students as they explore coding, Virtual Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Media.  Each student builds, programs, and takes home their own robot!
