HURRY! ONLY 4 SLOTS OFFERED EACH WEEK

A 6-week fun and interactive summer enrichment program for rising 6th–9th graders, both typical and special learners. Designed to empower kid's individual talents, interests, skills and abilities; and encourage them to create, learn, discover and explore!  Using exciting and engaging edutainment games, including best-of-the-best retro and state-of-the art coding, robotics, simulations and apps; plus keyboarding and cyber readiness games, you get "the perfect way...to learn, work and play"!

 

Dedicated to empowering students and preparing them for school-to-work success, this camp enables four (4) campers each week to excel with cultivating and caring coaching. Direct, 1-on-1 and personalized instruction help build creative, innovative and critical thinking skills; and campers get to explore a different theme of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) each week, as well as technology-infused careers  Certificates are also awarded each week for personal portfolios.

 

Campers enjoy "hands-on" projects and project-based learning topics such as music, clothing, games, food, sports, machines, space or nature.  "Unplugged" arts and crafts activities, fitness breaks, *lunch with other campers and prizes make this camp a well-rounded and rewarding social camp experience.  Campers learn teamwork, project management, and communication skills, including how to use digital/e-portfolios to help go from school-to-work more successfully.
