Learning Led by Teachers
We believe the best learning experiences are built by the people who know kids best. That’s why our camps are developed and taught in partnership with local classroom teachers who spend the school year understanding how students learn, what sparks curiosity, and how to turn exploration into meaningful learning.
How to Register (Please Read)
Registration for each camp requires two steps.
Register & Pay
Click the “Register Here” button for the camp you want. This is how you officially reserve your child’s spot and submit payment.
Complete the Information Form
After registering, you must also complete the Camp Information Form. This form provides us with important details about your child and is required to complete registration.
Both steps are required. A child is not fully registered until payment is submitted and the information form is filled out and submitted.
