From refining illustrative skills to creating mood boards, delving into draping and fast-paced styling challenges, this program gives our budding fashionista a creative edge. Campers develop their curiosity by exploring diverse design techniques and fashion history. Young fashionistas build perseverance through the iterative design process, self-regulation as they focus on detailed work, and openness as they embrace new styles and perspectives. By the end of the week, designers won't just be following trends, they'll be setting them—customizing their own T-shirts, totes, and wearable accessories. Join us and see campers take fashion from drab to fab! No previous experience is necessary to join this designers collective!

In this innovative experience, campers will become engineers and architects as they build, explore, and survive in their Minecraft world. Campers will learn about the connection between digital and real-world environments and explore hands-on how real-world environments inspire game designers to create biomes in games. Using Minecraft Education Edition, campers will work together to create settlements in one of the many biomes Minecraft has to offer and even learn about those same biomes in the real world! Toward the end of the week, campers will put their builds to the ultimate test and defend their settlements from invasions. And never fear, before camp is over, campers will get a chance to do what all Minecraft players love to do: DESTROY!

NEW for 2025! We’re excited to bring our youngest campers a brand new camp that will take them on a tour of the human body! Mini Medical School introduces campers to the career of being a doctor and all that it entails. They’ll practice bandaging the boo-boos of their stuffed animal and caring for the patient, and they’ll even get their own medical and first aid kit to bring home at the end of the week! Campers will also learn about some of the different body systems and organs that keep our bodies alive and functioning. They’ll make their own stethoscope and inflatable lungs and models of the heart and the human eyeball! They will even learn about x-rays and learn how doctors use them to figure out if there is a “boo boo” that we can’t see from the outside of the body. Each lesson consists of an engaging hands-on activity or experiment where campers will not only learn, but have fun. Throughout the week, different picture books will be integrated into the lessons, bringing reading and literature into the camp, allowing campers to see, hear, and experience the material. Any registered camper that does not meet the minimum age requirement will be contacted to make a different selection. Nut-free foods may be used in the experiments/projects in this camp. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the camp office.

Your camper will complete tons of great building projects with the Robotic Arm and T4 Transforming Solar Bot. This camp is for campers who enjoy putting things together and requires strong fine motor skills for the use of screwdrivers and similar tools. The OWI, Inc. Robotic Arm brings innovation and robotics into the hands of campers with this “build it yourself kit”. After building, campers will be able to command the gripper to open and close, move the wrist 120 degrees, extend the elbow 300 degrees, rotate the base 270 degrees, and have extensive vertical and horizontal reach, and lifting capacity of over 3 ounces. WOW! Some of the added features include a search light design on the gripper and a safety gear audible indicator is included on all five gear boxes to prevent any potential injury or gear breakage during operation. The OWI, Inc. 14-in-1 Solar Robot allows future engineers to build a robot and transform it to 14 different robot modes, with unique movements and designs, some designed for dry land and some for water! Not only will they be challenged by building and interacting with fourteen different robot designs, but campers will discover and learn first-hand the importance of solar power, an alternative renewable energy. This robot encompasses all aspects of STEM and is a perfect example of how the four different “subjects” are all interconnected.

Is your camper ready for a week of adventure? In each Velocity session, whether they're seasoned pros or getting on wheels for the first time, campers work with counselors to develop their biking and skateboarding skills.

Collaborating with friends, they'll learn valuable survival skills like knot-tying, outdoor cooking, and problem-solving.

What do you call a piece of wood with nothing to do? Board! Well, no one will be bored in this program, where campers have a blast learning the practical and timeless craft of woodworking. Your child will use traditional hand tools to create a range of projects, from toolboxes to their own custom creations that are not only fun to make but also functional. Each week, they’ll experience the joy of building something with their own hands in a constructive and creative way. Along the way, campers develop responsibility as they work safely with tools, perseverance as they refine their skills, and collaboration when they share ideas and techniques with their peers. By the end of the week, they’ll have a new appreciation for craftsmanship and a collection of projects they can be proud of. Hey—have you heard the “under construction” joke? It’s not done yet. Because all that’s missing is you!
