Kids’ College Summer Camp Morning Kids’ Camp:
This exciting task-based session will offer unusual problems and predicaments for campers to puzzle over. Using the creative problem solving process, they will experience a wide variety of instant challenges and sharpen their skills in engineering, design and the creative manipulation of materials. Come prepared to design, build, modify and rearrange materials and engage in lively conversation as you work together to solve your team’s problem!
Say good-bye to the 21st century as you travel back to medieval times and the exciting days of knights and damsels. Activities will take you from castle construction to catapult competitions with many rich, hands on opportunities to experience day-to-day life during this period of history. Bring your imagination for a fun-filled adventure in time!
As a tour ship passenger you find yourself shipwrecked on a desert island and soon discover that you are not alone! The island is also inhabited by a group of castaways who, with the exception of a two-way radio that barely works, have lost contact with civilization. Together you try to find a way off the island but when the radio is suddenly misplaced, everyone starts to wonder! This light-hearted mystery is a spoof on reality TV shows and provides an opportunity for scientific fun as well as creative thinking and team building! Afternoon Kids’ Camp Special Topics: This year students will have the opportunity to follow their morning camp with a brown bag lunch from home and one of our afternoon special interest topics. Students can choose from:
If you love to doodle and draw, then this is the workshop for you! Professional cartoonist, John Gallagher, creator of the Buzzboy comic series, will be joining us for a week long cartooning adventure. His ability to make cartooning come alive will provide campers with opportunities to communicate and develop storytelling as well as flexible and elaborative thinking skills through a variety of cartooning experiences and the humor that is sure to follow! 1:30-3pm
This unique opportunity will offer campers a nutritional, culinary experience in a safe environment that encourages interaction and creativity. Each day will bring a new cooking adventure, a chance to sample the end result and hopefully, will be the beginning of a life-long love for the culinary arts! 1:30-3pm Kids’ Camp Fees Morning Kids’ Camp Package: $175 per student
