This course is intended for students who: -thoroughly enjoy math and actively engage with challenging concepts and problem-solving -met and exceeded the expectations of their Algebra 1 course Families who have questions about whether this course is the right fit are encouraged to reach out to their child’s Algebra teacher for guidance.

Calling on aspiring young authors! The morning portion of this program is designed to allow students to develop their skills as fiction writers. Through reading sample stories, campers will develop an understanding of the structure and story in fiction and compare the techniques of various authors. They will use their knowledge to plan for and create their own stories that will include a developed character, a problem and solution, dialogue and details. During the afternoon portion of the day students will have lunch and free time outdoors as well as participate in activities such as art, science experiments, simple cooking, games, etc.
