Far from your ordinary summer camp, our summer camp works just like our school. Children express their interests and we help them build experiences in response. We provide the space, instruction as needed, and state of the art technology and supplies in an easily accessible fashion. This is where the learning begins.

Children choose to visit many centers each day or to dig deep in one center all summer. They dive into meaningful activities that capture their imagination. They bring ideas to life. Everything they need is right at their fingertips including experienced Counselors to provide guidance, instruction, and encouragement.
There are so many unique aspects to our summer camp. All Centers are open every day, with unlimited activities to choose from. Kids go where they want, to do want they want. Campers move freely about the building and the secured yard because counselors are right on hand to help them.
No need to get locked into 8 weeks, 4 weeks or even 2 weeks. Register your camper, buy a camper’s passbook with 15-day, 5-day or even 1-day passes, and use them as you’d like. Want to secure your children’s weeks? You can do that too by purchasing 8 or 4-week blocks! Buy more and you pay less per day.

Six Exciting Centers
Science Lab
When given the chance, kids are budding scientists. Botanist, veterinarians, marine biologists, environmentalists and chemists in the kitchen will love our super-cool lab. Pop, Fizz, bubble, look through a microscope, pet, feed, shampoo, plant, grow, harvest and cook… These are only some of the things our science seekers will do.

Technology
Kids love to tell stories. Create storyboards, stop-motion animation and live-action movies, set to original music with iPads, iMovie, Animation Stations and Green Screen Technology. Kids sing, mix electronic music, strike up a band with a drum machine and digital guitars and keyboards, and record like a professional.

Electronics and Engineering
Kids see the world through the eyes of an engineer. At the E2 Center, they solve problems through discovery, based on everyday challenges. Kids check out gravity, air pressure, and material properties. They build, test and launch rockets, planes and rovers. They explore flight, soldering and circuitry, Arduino, optics and light, and fun and practical gadgets.

Art and Craft
What happens when you sit kids in front of a sewing machine, offer them an iPad Pro and an Apple Pen, set out easels and artist’s paint and canvas? Their creativity shines. Whether hand or machine sewing, creating a digital storyboard, knitting or crocheting or sculpting with clay their imaginations flourishes and their confidence soars.

Machines and Math
Kids test their hand at 2D sketching and 3D modeling and printing, game design, robotics, and experimenting with potential and kinetic energy while building catapults, rollercoasters, and balloon-powered cars. They investigate physics and engineering through logic and problem-solving at their own pace, with guidance. They innovate.
