Our Early Learners classes are ones that tend to fill very quickly. We apologize if you end up in a waitlist situation. We will continue to brainstorm ways to increase our capacity. Spaces Remaining last updated: 2:45 pm on 2/7/21.
Week 1 (June 21-25): Wacky Water Week - Williette Zigbuo | Waitlist
Water, water, everywhere! Activities will revolve around exploration with water, science experiments, and adventures in small pools and our on-campus creek. Children create beaches, relax, and have fun!
Week 2 (June 28-July 2): Design and Engineering - Williette Zigbuo | Waitlist
We put the excitement in S.T.E.M. education. Children dive into age-appropriate, inquiry-based, hands-on-learning through FUN designing and constructing activities using Legos, blocks, Thinker Linkers, and more!
Week 3 (July 5-9): Summer Fun! - Marit Nelson | Waitlist
The warm weather provides opportunities for ice and water play, sun art, observations about the seasons and make-believe summer adventures. See how long it takes for different sized and shaped ice to melt, use water to paint the ground, watch shadows, and use them to trace and draw. This camp will celebrate all things sun and summer (even if it rains!).
Week 4 (July 12-16): Magical Masks and Creative Costumes - Marit Nelson | Waitlist
Paper mache masks, customized capes, animal ear headbands, oh my! In this camp we will take inspiration from stories about people and animals that transform into something else to develop our own costumes and engage in make-believe and theatrical play.
Week 5 (July 19-23): Global Dance Party - Nylah Jimerson | Waitlist
Come learn dances from all over the world. Fan dance, afrobeats, salsa, ballet, and more! We’ll have fun exploring various cultures by seeing how they express themselves through dance. We’ll also have the chance to show off our own dance moves and dances that are important to our families. Get ready to get your groove on!
Week 6 (July 26-30): Nature Artists - Alice Turner | Waitlist
There is an unlimited amount of beauty in nature. Explore multiple art mediums while using the physical world as inspiration. We'll create looms from sticks, leaf rubbings, collages, nature drawings, and more. Each day will bring a new nature-inspired art project. We'll spend lots of time outdoors this week!
Week 7 (August 2-6): Secret Life of Insects - Alice Turner | Waitlist
Ever wonder which insects make all that racket in the summer months here in North Carolina? If so, get ready to spend some time this summer turning over rocks, digging in the dirt, and looking closely in trees and bushes to investigate local insects up close. We'll record what we discover about insects, read books about insects, study insect anatomy, build insects using clay and other materials, and sing insect songs.
