Please Note: We will make EVERY effort to honor the themes listed below this summer; however, if we have learned anything, it is that flexibility is the key to success! Should a theme become difficult to execute well due to Covid-19 safety restrictions or unforeseen staffing changes, we reserve the right to alter the themes below in order to create the best-quality (and most fun) program for your child.

Week 1: Out of This World 

June 6 - 10

Sarah Brooks, Katie Bockting, Tia Rogers

Ever wonder about what is in outer space? Want to learn about the mysteries of the Universe? Want to see what it’s like living the life of an astronaut? Grab your space gear and join us for an adventure that’s out of this world!

Week 2: Up and Atom!

June 13 - 17

Calling all future scientists! Have you ever wondered what we're made of? Do you like to see how things work? If so, then this is the week for you. We will observe and explore a variety of different topics in biology, chemistry, physics, and more through hands-on activities and experiments. So get your lab coat, grab your science goggles, and let's get "up and atom" for science!  

Week 3: Wet and Wild(life) 

June 20 - 24

Sarah Brooks, Kelly McCandless, Brittony Rodgers

Water, water, everywhere! This week is all about exploring the cool things about water - what it can do, the creatures that live in it, and how we use it. Of course, no hands-on water week experience would be complete without getting a little (or a lot) wet!

Week 4: Mind, Body, and Spirit 

June 27 - July 1

Kelly McCandless, Brittony Rodgers, Tia Rogers

Our bodies are amazing! Let’s learn about how they work and explore positive ways to celebrate, calm, challenge, and move our bodies through activities like zumba, yoga, pilates, and even meditation. Maybe you’ll even discover some new ways to challenge your families to move and care for their bodies too!

Calling all foodies! Are you a budding chef, or are looking for a way to learn kitchen techniques? Chef’s Academy gets kids cooking!

In addition, we’ll learn about our food and explore healthy options.  

*Summer Academy is closed on Monday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.

Week 6: World Time Travelers
