Summer Academic & Enrichment Camps
Improve, maintain, or acquire new academic skills with our teacher led small group this summer. Take the time to really understand and practice those math facts, writing skills, cursive handwriting, keyboarding, etc. High school students can retake classes to improve grades or get a head-start on their next school year. We will custom design a program for your goals!

Stop Motion Animation & Photography
This week is a hybrid course. We will spend the first three days working with our campers to create stories through stop motion animation using Lego toys, dry erase boards and paper animation. The last two days campers will experiment with our digital cameras, practicing the newly learned photographic concepts of rule of thirds and leading lines. We will print some of their work and post all of it on a password protected webpage so you can download any of their work you desire.
Ages 10-14
Video & Digital Film Production
We will introduce your children to the world of digital video/film production. This session begins with a story. We support children’s natural creativity by offering the chance to create their own video story. We provide the equipment and your children bring the ideas. We will utilize Adobe Premiere Pro software to teach beginning to advanced video editing techniques as well. Full disclosure: We do not allow violence, profanity, or weapons in our film camp. In the past children HAVE been allowed to bring Star Wars light sabres as props, but no toy guns, knives or the like.
