S.P.A.C.E. CAMP
(Summer Program for Academic and Creative Endeavors)

S.P.A.C.E. Camp is a four-week summer enrichment program run by the Newton Public Schools from July 5th through 28th.  Students entering kindergarten through 9th grade in the Fall of 2022 are eligible to attend.  We offer two programs – an upper camp (entering grade 5-entering grade 9 in the Fall of 2022) and a lower camp (entering kindergarten-entering grade 4).

LOWER CAMP – Campers are assigned into age appropriate classes led by certified elementary school teachers, through project based learning, challenges and activities which focus on our camp theme.  Our theme for lower camp last summer was, “Our Planet”.  Campers explored the wild places of our planet and learned about ways we can protect nature.  Lower Camp has a co-taught model with two certified teachers and one counselor.   Special attention is given to individual students by maintaining a low student to teacher ratio.  Lower Campers will also attend various specials throughout the week led by certified staff.  In past years, specials have included physical education, art, yoga, ceramics, boxygen, and Spanish.  

UPPER CAMP –  Campers will create their own schedules by choosing from a vast amount of electives to design their own camp program.  SPACE Upper Camp has over 50 electives for students to choose from including art studios, performing arts, athletics, STEM activities, and language arts.
