Two weeks of Summer Fun — Lots of new workshops! A full day of mind-boggling, challenging activities for students entering grades 5 through 12. In addition to swimming, we are introducing a recreation program that will keep kids moving, having fun and build camaraderie and team work. The focus will be on games that can be played by all and that kids can play at home. Games will include kick ball, waffle ball, ultimate Frisbee and more. Kids on Campus is all about cutting-edge topics involving computers, science, math and technology. It’s a chance to work in small teams, unleash creativity, and develop critical thinking skills. Kids on Campus is designed for students who perform well in school, with no behavioral concerns that could impact on their ability to participate in a rigorous academic program, swimming and recreation. Kids on Campus offers two repeating sessions during the month of July. Each session is two-weeks long and runs from 9 AM to 3 PM, daily, Monday through Friday. Students choose one area to focus on for the two-week session. Workshops are small group, hands-on, project-oriented, and lots of fun.
