This year, we are offering eleven classes for children, all taught by highly qualified instructors. They will rotate to a different class each hour. Activities vary each day and week. Instructors will tailor activities and support based on students' age, grade level, and abilities. The average cost per hour is between $5.88 and $6.25, which includes all materials. Each class is led by one instructor and one teaching assistant with a supervision ratio of 1:8. Registration is risk-free. If a child's schedule changes, parents can request a full refund by May 1, 2025. If cancellation is requested after May 1, a 10% fee will be applied.
This course will engage all ages through the wonderful world of reading through engaging, fun learning activities that will provide and enhance support for reading instruction for early learners.
In this course, students will explore the connection between physical activity and mental well-being. Through fun exercises, mindfulness practices, and healthy habits, participants will learn how to take care of both their bodies and minds, building a foundation for a balanced and active lifestyle.
The summer camp runs from June 2 to June 27, 2025. Parents can choose from full-day and half-day options, as well as enroll for all four weeks or individual weeks.
