Summer camp

Three, two, one… Blast off! Campers will travel into space and explore what it takes to get to the moon. They will learn about NASA’s Artemis mission by participating in various activities that simulate the moon landing process. They will be split into teams and each group will be assigned an important step in the process to present to their parents and peers.

No camp. Night classes still being run as scheduled. Current enrolled campers may attend night classes.

It’s not Roblox but it’s robots. Campers will utilize their knowledge of computer software skills to program a robot using Lego Mindstorms EV3. Those robots will then battle each other at the end of the week. These are the updated version of the Lego NXT 2.0 robots used last summer.

Imagine. Draw. Paint. Create! Campers will become true creatives, learning sketching and painting techniques to craft masterpieces and works of art. At the end of the week, there will be an art show displaying the campers’ creations.

Game on gamers! Campers will spend the week designing their own game using the MIT Program Scratch. Campers will present their games to a live audience at the end of the week.

Mo’ money mo’ problems. Campers will become miniature business moguls. They will learn the importance of budgeting and acquire essential money management skills. The campers will create their own product and develop an advertisement/commercial to endorse their product. There will be an additional charge for the field trip at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing of about $4 - $6. 

Ro, ro, ro,  your bot! Campers will learn more advanced programming for their Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot. They will work on teams and at the end of the week compete in a robot challenge. May the best bot win! The field trip this week will be to the National Electronic Museum and there will be an additional charge of about $3-$5.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…Get ready for a fin-tastic week as campers explore the deep dark ocean and its predators. They will use what they learned to make a creative presentation about sharp tooth predators. The field trip will be at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD and there will be an additional charge of about $30 -$40.

Move that bus! Campers will become familiar with the basics of 3D printing and computer aided drafting by designing houses. Groups will compete to see who has the best house design.

Calling all Romeos and Juliets! Campers will learn about the elements of the theatre and important playwrights. At the end of the week, each team will write and perform their own play.
