Camps Grades 2-4

Summer 2023 Camps

Mini Artist in the Making $145

Monday–Friday, June 26–June 30, from 9:00 a.m.–noon
Instructor: Laura Oswald

During this camp, we will explore many different techniques used by many famous artists as we apply them to our own artistic creations. Have you ever heard of collage art, pendulum art, or pointillism? If not, come find out! This camp is for children who want to put their creativity to the max. I can’t wait to see the unique masterpieces you create.

Slime Time Camp $145

Monday–Friday, July 10–14, from 9:00 a.m.–noon
Instructor: Laura Oswald

Warning: you MUST love slime to join this camp! Join us if you would like to experiment and create with endless slime possibilities. We will make slimes from scratch, use slimes to conduct experiments, and even create some unique projects. My favorite project is designing your very own custom slime, complete with your choice of color, consistency, and add-ins, which you will use to create a mini commercial that would sell your slime creation. We will create magnetic slime, edible slime, and even slime that erupts—just to name a few. Who knew there could be so many types of slime? Every child will come home with a self-created new slime each day!

Junior Geologist $145

Monday–Friday, July 17–21, from 9:00 a.m.–noon
Instructor: Veronica Berry

Do you like digging in the dirt, looking for rocks, and exploring the environment? Then this class is for you! We will be looking at how the earth forms, identifying rocks and minerals, doing some of our own excavations, and even recreating some of our own natural land formations. Come explore the world of a junior geologist.

Kitchen Scientist $145

Monday–Friday, July 24–28, from 1:00–4:00 p.m.
Instructor: Jessica Seidel

Create science experiments using things from around the kitchen/home. Some examples are elephant toothpaste, shaving cream water cycle, and growing crystals.

Brain Buster $145
