Inclusive STEAM + Nature Summer Camp
The schedule for both weekly camp sessions
July 22-July 26, 2019 from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm
July 29-August 2, 2019 from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm
At 10:00 am, each camp day will begin with fun, interactive group games and activities that focus on Self-Awareness, Awareness of Others, and Awareness of the Natural World. The keyword is Awareness.
On Mondays & Wednesdays at 11:00 am, Karen Bunch Stirling will guide your camper through 20-minutes of low-impact yoga exercises and mind-calming activities. Additionally, on Mondays & Wednesdays, campers may create expressions of art that also calm the mind.
On Tuesdays & Thursdays at 11:00 am, your camper will participate in REFIT® exercises with Sara Tracey. REFIT® is a cardio dance, toning, and balancing exercise class. Moves that are set to music will impact every part of the body, including the brain!
Every camp day, at 12:00 pm, your camper will eat lunch. Each camper should bring their own lunch.
Every camp day, after lunch, campers will engage in camping, survival, and independent living skills games and activities such as: Can opening without a can opener & how to maneuver through automated phone systems.
Every camp day, at 1:00 pm, your camper will be guided through a fun, yet challenging STEAM activity. They will build & program a Mindstorms EV3 robot. They will also design & create their own personalized video games or complete an Hour of Code activity. Each camper will learn & exercise problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking skills.
Every camp day, at 2:15 pm, your camper will engage in nature education activities such as journal art, wood art, a nature scavenger hunt, building boats "that float" with items from nature, and nature walk. All outdoor games and activities are dependent on the weather.
On Fridays, your camper will end their week writing (or speech-to-texting) about their camp adventures in their personalized camp journals. Each Friday will also include a special guest and musical activities (Fun with maracas or "Name The Genre" game).
*Please note: The schedule is subject to change due to weather or for other reasons.
**Additionally, if and when the weather permits, we will engage in outdoor activities (i.e., camp games, water balloons, a scavenger hunt, confidence course, water sprinklers, etc.)
