SPACE CAMP…
Summer Program for Academic and Creative Encounters
SPACE Camp is a four-week summer enrichment program for students entering kindergarten through students entering ninth grade. SPACE is a terrific opportunity for students. We offer two programs – an upper school (entering grade 5-entering grade 9) and a lower school (entering kindergarten-entering grade four). During the upper school program, students are given the opportunity to become involved in program courses of their own choosing. During the lower school program, students are assigned to age appropriate groups. They will work with staff members in art, music, science, movement, games, recreation, drama, and other enrichment activities.
This summer we will be located at: F.A. Day Middle School
