MINI-CAMP
As part of the extended day program, we are now offering mini-camps during select weeks of the summer. Mini-camps are offered during the afternoon extended day time frame and end at 4:45pm. At that time, campers have the option of transitioning to afternoon extended day until 6pm. Mini-camps are designed to allow campers to sample additional offerings from Kid Explorer Camps:
MAKER CAMP-Designer to Engineer (Grade 1 and 2)
Campers will get a chance to try their hand at Designing, Building and Coding with the guidance of experienced Kid Explorer Camp team members. Using Scratch, campers will be introduced to programming by creating their own interactive animation or game. For 90 minutes each day, campers will use computers provided by Kid Explorer Camp as they get comfortable with the Scratch program, think creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively.
Golf (Grades Pre- K, K, 1 and 2)
For 90 minutes each day, campers will have the opportunity to learn Golf from an elite coaching staff of former collegiate players. This Mini Camp will provide both beginner and experienced campers with new skills as well as a deeper understanding of the game. Campers will be taken through a series of shooting, stick handling and defensive drills throughout the week in order to build a strong foundation and improve on existing skills. All equipment will be provided by Kid Explorer Camp.
