IN-PERSON SUMMER CAMP
This year all courses are already preselected for you! We took the most popular ones and compacted them into the best summer programming EVER for all grades 1-8.
Students will have 4 periods in the day and therefore 4 different courses each day.

- 3-8 signifies a course is appropriate for all those grade levels.
- If there is a separation of 3-5 and 6-8 the course has 2 separate curriculums designed for the appropriate grade level grouping and children will be placed accordingly.
