Summer Camps

New for Summer 2026! Become a video game creator. In this exciting camp, students design their own action-packed arcade games like classic Mario using Construct 3. We limit the technical barriers so kids can focus on what matters most: creativity and fun.

Students will build confidence as they create challenging levels, draw their own characters, and design puzzle elements. The camp creates a collaborative “indie studio” atmosphere where students playtest each other’s games, learning how to give and receive constructive feedback. By the end of the week, every student will have a playable game to share with friends and family!

Prerequisites:
No previous design or coding experience is required! Students should be comfortable using a computer keyboard and mouse/trackpad.

New for Summer 2026! In this camp for creative kids who love to dream up new worlds, students will use Construct 3 to create their own top-down adventure video games like Undertale or classic Zelda—where narrative and exploration take center stage.

Students will exercise their creative writing and art skills as they invent characters, tell stories, and design digital worlds for players to explore. This inclusive environment encourages students to collaborate, sharing ideas and testing games together to make each story better. At the end of the session, your child will walk away with a sense of accomplishment and a fully interactive story to showcase to the world.

Learn to be a Dungeon Master and forge your own adventure! In this inclusive camp about creative storytelling, kids won’t just be playing D&D as an adventurer, they will build magical worlds, draw amazing maps, and weave fantastic stories. Campers will use craft materials to bring their campaigns to life, practice improv techniques, and learn the rules of D&D so that they can lead their own adventures. Then, working in groups, we will create characters and take turns running games for each other. At the end of the course, kids will take home custom adventure kits to share with friends and family!

Bring your story to life by making stop motion animated movies! Working in teams, we will build sets and characters using LEGO® bricks, clay, and other materials, then write, direct, and edit unique stories. We will learn about narrative structure, setting the tone, and using special effects to communicate stories to an audience. This program takes a strong social-emotional learning lens and focuses on skills like empathy, giving and receiving feedback, and goal-setting. By the end of the session, kids will complete multiple animation exercises and a final film project to share with the world!

This introductory nature camp is all about the coolest critters around—bugs! Campers will head outdoors to search for local insects and document their findings in wildlife journals along the way. We will make lots of crafts celebrating the amazing ways insects have evolved, such as clay insects, origami isopods, life-cycle wheels and more. Let’s discover just how fun and fascinating the bug world can be!

Join us to look, listen, and learn around your school’s scenic woodlands and waterways. In this camp for young naturalists, we will venture outdoors and observe birds and plants in their habitats. Each morning, we will spot local plants and wildlife and explore the science of our green and feathered friends. Campers will use binoculars, collect plant specimens for various projects, dissect owl pellets, play bird-themed games, and learn about bird conservation. Our budding botanists will identify local and invasive plants, create artwork from natural materials, and use handheld microscopes to make closer observations of various plants and flowers. We will learn about the importance of conservation, native species and the preservation of local ecology. Birds and plants are all around us, let’s take a closer look and cultivate our appreciation while having fun outdoors!

Note for camp coordinators: You must have accessible natural areas on or nearby your location to run this camp. We will inspect your space to determine if it’s suitable.
