Field Trips / Book Club
Campers will participate in educational field trips with an engaging book club, offering campers a tactile and immersive learning experience.

Discussions encourage critical thinking as campers analyze themes and characters, enriching their cultural understanding and broadening their horizons. This dynamic approach deepens learning and promotes personal growth.

Thursday
Cultural Awareness Activities / Gardening / Music & Movement
Campers will engage in diverse activities to deepen their cultural understanding and interpersonal skills, fostering appreciation for their own and other cultures. Through hands-on gardening, they’ll learn responsibility and empathy as they care for plants while exploring botany and biology to enhance their scientific and observational skills as they monitor the growth and health of the plants. Campers will develop motor skills and coordination in our Music and Movement sessions. Campers will enhance their motor skills and coordination by learning rhythm, melody, and basic dance moves through interactive music sessions and creative movement activities. Learning to play instruments will further refine their coordination, timing, and fine motor skills, rounding out a rich, educational summer experience.

Friday
Water & Science Day
Under the careful supervision of our skilled staff, campers will participate in various water activities in local pools, lakes, and rivers, with a strong emphasis on safety. In addition to aquatic fun, campers will dive into hands-on and sensory science activities that engage them physically with materials and concepts. These experiences encourage curiosity as kids and teens learn to ask questions, explore different answers, and understand how things work. They will sharpen their analytical skills through experiments and problem-solving by observing, hypothesizing, experimenting, and drawing conclusions—essential for scientific learning and daily decision-making. Collaborative science projects enhance teamwork abilities and social skills and boost confidence, empowering campers to tackle new challenges and complex concepts.
