Drone search and rescue is a necessity for first responders around the globe, adding a new layer of creative solutions to save lives and increase safety. Firefighting and prevention, reforestation, search and rescue, utility inspections, and medical transfers currently all rely on innovative drone solutions to reduce danger and increase efficiency. This innovative drone camp provides campers with the opportunity to participate in and learn from simulated missions during this action-packed, educational, and real-world applicable program. Campers will learn to free fly and code drones autonomously during this camp week. They also will rely on other members of their rescue team (flight squad) to collect vital data in specific “rescue areas” to locate “victims” and safely rescue them. Our instructors use age-appropriate and cutting-edge technology methods available for creating plans, missions, and maps. Participants will also learn invaluable lessons on how to simply, quickly, and accurately make informed and targeted suggestions for real-world positive solutions.

What better place to explore than nature that is right outside our door? Campers will not only learn about this amazing planet we live on but learn how we can help keep it beautiful and healthy! They’ll be arborists as they learn about different kinds of trees and even plant a pine tree. Next they’ll become entomologists as they do activities and experiments related to spiders, butterflies, and other insects. They’ll discover that although sometimes insects may appear scary or frightening, they actually aren’t and can even help us! Campers will explore the organisms and habitats of different ecosystems and learn ways to take care of the planet we live on. They’ll become experts on the “three Rs'' - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Nut-free foods may be used in the experiments/projects in this camp.

Challenger Sports, the leading soccer camp company in North America, has combined the most popular elements of their two existing industry-leading camp programs, British Soccer and TetraBrazil, integrating them into a collection of the most effective soccer practices used by youth teams around the world. The Challenger International Soccer Camp, with coaches from Europe, Brazil and the U.S., reflects the truly global nature of the sport today and provides young players with a wide variety of coaching styles, practices, and influences that will help them develop a well-rounded skill set. We have taken the best coaching methodologies and practices from England, Brazil, Spain, USA, and France and have woven them together in a multi-faceted on and off-field coaching experience. This camp will engage, entertain, and encourage players to push the boundaries of their talents. Each day includes individual foot skills, technical drills, tactical practices, small-sided games, coached scrimmages, and a daily World Cup tournament. Full day campers will take breaks from the afternoon heat and spend some time in the gym participating in non-soccer activities as well as some on campus water activities. Campers will be divided by age and skill level. Each camper will receive a soccer ball and camp t-shirt. All campers will need to wear shin guards. Full day campers will also need to bring shoes that can get wet on water days. Campers in morning soccer who are taking a different camp in the afternoon will have a supervised lunch period from 12:00 to 3:30.

Campers will learn to become Crime Scene Investigators during actual crime scene setups! They’ll use the tools used in the field to collect and examine evidence. They’ll conduct fingerprint, handwriting, fiber, simulated blood, and DNA analysis. They will also learn about crime scene models, such as the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, and how detectives and police used them to learn and practice the art and science of detailed forensic-based detection. Club SciKidz investigators will actually have their own miniature crime scene to study! As the investigator, campers must bear in mind that there is a two-fold responsibility: to clear the innocent as well as to expose the guilty. They’ll manage the task of seeking only the facts and finding the truth in their Nutshell Mystery diorama. Campers will learn how a crime is actually solved and learn how Biology, Chemistry, and Physics play a major role in the investigation! Nut-free foods may be used in the experiments/projects in this camp.

The camp is led by degreed scientists who are CPR and First Aid certified. While campers will not be getting into the water above the knee, they should wear a swimsuit or clothes that can get wet each day. Campers should also bring a towel and wear a shoe with a closed back that can get wet (a water shoe or old sneakers are great options).

Traditional Camp is designed to encourage creativity, social interaction and independence.

Daily swim lessons with American Red Cross trained instructors are conducted each morning at the Hillsmere Pool. Campers should arrive in a swimsuit and cover-up and have sunscreen already applied. They should bring a towel, additional sunscreen to be used throughout the day, and a change of clothes each day. Campers must be at least four years old prior to starting a camp session.
