"Christmas in June" Crafts Summer Camp will bring a little holiday magic to the middle of summer!

Over five festive days, campers will create crafts and handmade gifts designed to be saved and given at Christmastime. Each day will be filled with creativity and hands-on fun as kids work on projects they’ll be proud to share with family and friends in December. On the final day, we’ll celebrate with a cozy Christmas-style cookies and wrapping party, where campers will enjoy treats, wrap their gifts, paint a gift bag and soak in the joy of giving.

It’s the perfect blend of summer fun and holiday spirit - no snow required! All supplies included in fee.

AI Explorers Camp 

Is artificial intelligence taking over the world, or is it just another powerful tool? In AI Explorers Camp, students will dive into the exciting world of artificial intelligence through hands on activities and interactive platforms like Code.org, Quick Draw!, Scratch Labs, and more.

Campers will explore how AI learns, recognizes patterns, and makes decisions while exploring various platforms and uses. Along the way, students will discover that AI is not something to fear, but a creative and useful technology that can help solve problems, spark ideas, and make learning more fun. 

No prior coding experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Art Explorers is a fun, hands-on summer camp designed to spark creativity and curiosity in young artists. Each day, students will explore a different art medium and learn new techniques through engaging, age-appropriate projects. Campers will experiment with painting, create ceramic pinch pots, design prints using foam plates, build imaginative collages, and try simple weaving.

Throughout the week, students will be introduced to foundational art skills such as color mixing, texture, pattern, shape, and composition. Lessons are structured to be supportive and encouraging so that both confident artists and beginners feel successful. The focus is on exploration, effort, and creative thinking rather than perfection.

Projects are designed to promote problem-solving, independence, and pride in craftsmanship. Students will have opportunities to make choices about colors was, designs, and personal themes so each piece reflects their own ideas and personality. Camp routines include short demonstrations, guided work time, movement breaks, and group sharing so the environment stays positive, organized, and engaging.

By the end of the week, each camper will have a collection of finished artwork to take home. We will celebrate their hard work with a mini art show for families, where students can display their favorite pieces and share what they learned during the week.

Incoming freshmen face a multitude of challenges, including a more rigorous mathematics curriculum. Our records indicate that freshmen often benefit from our summer math program to enrich their skill set.

Experience indicates that students who struggle with math generally drop at least one letter grade as they move to the next level. This often discourages students and causes a negative attitude toward math. With the emphasis of math scores on ACT's, SAT's, and college entrance exams, it is important your child develops good math skills.

This summer math program is designed to reinforce what they have been taught before high school and fill in the gaps that we have noticed from past incoming freshman classes. In addition, students will be introduced to Algebra I concepts they will encounter in their freshmen year. We urge you to consider this opportunity to bring your child's math skills up to speed to help them succeed their freshman year.

Equipment: Students must bring their own calculator, notebook, and pencils/pens.
