This summer, campers will explore a variety of professions and industries through role-playing, hands-on activities, and guest speaker presentations. Each week of the camp will be dedicated to a different career field, such as education, performing arts, healthcare, public service, sports and more. Campers will engage in age-appropriate activities related to each career field, such as conducting science experiments, creating art projects, role-playing different professions, and participating in career-themed games and challenges. The end of summer demonstration of learning will involve campers conducting their own career fair for parents and families.
In addition to career-focused programming, our summer camp will also offer students opportunities to enjoy traditional summer activities such as swimming and exciting field trips.
These activities will enhance the overall camp experience, providing a well-rounded and memorable summer adventure for all participants.
