SESSION I

WEEK #1: In the Game

July 8th – 12th

Ready, set, PLAY! This week is all about games, games, games! Campers will be creating their own board games through multidisciplinary arts and answering questions such as… What was the oldest game in history? What was the first video game? Who wrote the song Circle Game? Campers will be fully immersed in the art of games -- board games, dance games, sports games and interactive games -- from Tic Tac Toe to Trivial Pursuit, they will end the week with a bout of Kahoot!

WEEK #2: Mission Impossible

July 15th – 19th

Students will be on a mission this week to create their very own inventions. We will begin the week with scientific experiments, explorations and discoveries. They will collaborate on ideas, develop their own concepts and make their inventions come to life. We will end the week with our very own CAS Science Fair, where they will all show off their outstanding creations!

WEEK #3: Trading Places

July 22nd – 26th

Ever want to see what it feels like to be in someone else’s shoes? In this week’s theme, counselors and campers will be trading places in a fun and exploratory setting. Character development, theatre games and role-playing exercises will be a big part of this week’s activities. Our goal is to help foster a sense of self-confidence, while also incorporating a sense of empathy and enhancing communication skills. This perspective change can be a benefit to a camper’s daily relationships and any situation that may arise in their everyday lives.
