Click to review our 2023 Camp Policies and Procedures.

These Camps are for ENTERING Kindergarten and 1st graders. 

Note: Please do not enroll your child for a camp that requires a higher grade level than your child is entering. We try very hard to keep our camps and campers matched at the appropriate social maturity level, reading skill ability, and curriculum content. However, if your child is older and wants to take a camp listed in the next younger category, that is ok.

See CHART below for 2023 Summer CAMPS. 

All Camp descriptions are below but not offered every year.

Choose from 9 Different Camps in Art, Engineering & Science!

Art

ART ROCKS!  K-1

Come rock out to ART! Explore to your heart’s content as we draw, paint, and craft animals, instruments, vehicles, people, and 3D art while listening to music. Create fun pieces of artwork while using a mixture of artist quality materials: watercolor, paint, soft pastels, clay, illustration markers, Art Stix, and AquaStics. Art Explorers guides young children in the transition from random scribbling to intentional drawing and helps them see how lines and shapes fit together to create recognizable forms.

Animals Galore! – Gr. K-1  

Learn to draw, color, paint and sculpt safari and artic animals, jungle dwellers, reptiles, birds, bees, butterflies, and goofy, quirky, art creatures! This camp is a roaring good time!

Enchanted Creatures of the World – Gr. K-1

Welcome boys and girls to our fantasy world of enchanting creatures like a Niffler, Elves, Fairies, Hobgoblin, Dragon, Narwal & Merpeople, Sea Serpents, Gnomes, Pixies, Will-o-wisp, and Unicorn! Projects include creating magical wands and good luck potions, sculpting clay creatures and creature houses; making goblin slime, painting, drawing, and dressing up as fantastic beasts. We will read stories, make masks, and use a variety of mixed media to create a magical world! LOTS of artsy fun, reading, and make-believe! Art Explorers guides young children in the transition from random scribbling to intentional drawing and helps them see how lines and shapes fit together to create recognizable forms.

Engineering, Programming & Robotics

Little Tynker – Gr. K-1 

This is the perfect maker camp for the 5-year-old girl or boy that loves to tinker, build, create new things, take things apart, and learn how things work. With fun make & take-home projects and creative construction materials such as Lego STEAM Park, Simple Machines & Tech Machines, KEVA, K’NEX, and Cublets, your little Tynker will create and tinker to their heart’s content. Add to our maker camp great stories, like Intersteller Cinderella, Rosie Revere, Engineer, and Iggy Peck, Architect that encourage “thinking outside the box.” Whether it is building towers, mazes, or a zoo, learning about levers, gears, axles, and gravity, or letting their imagination transform ideas into models, this camp is sure to spark curiosity and creative thinking.

Little Bot Programmer – Gr. K-1 

Yes, 5 year-olds can learn to code through fun and engaging play! We use KIBO, Dash & Dot robots, and Puzzlets to introduce beginning programming to young children. Young campers learn the basics of coding, build and program our loveable robots with light, sound, sensors, and movement. They create characters in interactive games and stories using both on-screen and non-screen activities. By snapping together graphical programming blocks, campers can add voices and sounds and make their characters move, jump, dance and sing. Non-screen time includes programming with KIBO and Puzzlets and learning how circuitry works. This camp appeals to both technically minded kids and those that connect to art and stories. Warning! Be prepared…your child will not want to leave camp at the end of each day!

Little Design Engineer – K-1

Wee engineers will discover how environmental engineers figure out how to make something that solves a specific problem. Campers will use familiar materials to solve problems related to animal habitats, shelter, human impact on the environment, pollution, recycling, and use of tools and machines.

• Create a shady shelter roof for a dog
• Save a duck from a polluted pond
• Create a loud noisemaker for a surprise party.
• Create a fan that can produce enough wind to move a ball
• Create a wrecking ball that can knock over a stack of blocks
• Create a raft that can support the weight of a toy
• Engineer a trash collector and design a program for a robot to take trash to the right recycle bin.

Little Toy Maker – K-1

Dive into our Little Toy Maker’s workshop as you create different projects like a kaleidoscope, pocket rocket, musical instrument, sailboat, salt dough creatures, and a ring toss game to take home. Learn about engineering and design thinking as you create a marble run, understand how electricity works using snap circuits, build structures from KEVA planks and marshmallows! Create your own monocular and lava lamp, experiment with a cartesian diver, and discover why kaleidoscopes produce such beautiful colors!

Science

Jr. Chemist–Gr. K-1

Explore the fun of Chemistry with all that is ooey, gooey and just plain slimy!  We have chosen our favorite chemistry activities from our stockpile of recipes and formulas to bring you the best of the best. Campers will love digging into and examining the results of these crazy chemical concoctions!  Among the many wacky, wild and crazy concoctions, your Chemist will discover Blob Explosions, Funny Putty, Magic Bubble Paint, and Chewing Gum, as well as learn the importance of measurement and sequencing while cleaning pennies, observing fruit changes, and investigating candy chromatography.

Jr. Paleontologist -Gr. K-1

Campers explore the wondrous world of pre-historic creatures and fossils! Learn what life was like back when dinosaurs, giant reptiles and bugs ruled the earth. Campers will meet a variety of dinosaurs and learn about their habitats and food supply. Sample projects include a Pteranodon model, panning for gems and minerals, building a volcano, casting a seashell model, and a dinosaur egg dig. Special emphasis is placed on observation, inference, data collection, and just plain old fun!

Jr. Scientist -Gr. K-1

This unique camp will offer a collection of projects and experiments that will amuse and amaze your little scientist! Through hands-on activities, children will explore the basic scientific ideas that play a role in everyday life. Sample projects include: Rocketry, Glowing Firefly, Edible Oceans, Marshmallow Catapults, Life cycles and Metamorphosis, Growing Radish Head, Endangered Species, and Beeswax Candle. Campers learn how the scientific method helps us determine answers to our many questions and introduces noteworthy scientists in an engaging and fun way.
