The Programs

ummer Camp provides three fun-filled hours of educational activities based on a weekly theme for your child to learn and explore. Certified teachers and University faculty are among those teaching the different weekly topics. Activities will include team-building exercises, arts and crafts, science experiments, life-skills enhancements, story time, and computer time.

Best of all, your campers will have super fun getting their hands (and shirts and sometimes faces!) messy as they glue, paint, draw, sculpt, and color their projects. Look out for surprises on Messy Mondays, Wacky Wednesdays, and Fabulous Fridays.
