Our natural world has played a role in the clothes humans were since the beginning. Join a naturalist from EcoElsa to connect nature to current fashion through the making and ideas phase with things like grass weaving and making dyes from plants and creating designs based on nature. As well as making fashion more sustainable with upcycling and recycling activities. Great class for creative kids who enjoy creating and problem solving that also incorporates themes of sustainability, body-positivity, and science! This class is a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities so make sure kids dress for the weather in clothes they don’t mind getting dirty and wear closed-toed shoes! Kids will take home most of their creations on the last day.

Learn how scientists and engineers study nature to find solutions to fix the problems we face in this biomimicry focused STEM camp. We will put your problem-solving skills and creativity to the test to find a solution to a variety of challenges like designing & building wind turbines, earthquake proofing buildings, designing prosthetic limbs, and more! Inventors will benefit from learning how nature connects to STEM and solving real world problems as well as further developing teamwork and problem-solving skills. Make sure to dress for the weather and wear closed-toed shoes and long pants as parts of this class will be outdoors!

Unlock your inner engineer! Join us as we explore, investigate and solve problems, while learning about mechanical engineering building blocks. This exciting engineering class combines LEGO® Education™ and LEGO® Technic™ materials to explore machines. Students will be working in pairs, enjoying hands-on activities that emphasize building techniques, while understanding the mechanical principles of pulleys, levers, gears and wheels. Students will be encouraged to apply their learning to develop creative solutions to engineering challenges.

TGA (Teach. Grow. Achieve.) is excited to introduce youth Pickleball classes! Similar to tennis, this fast-paced, ultra-fun, and highly accessible sport is perfect for all ages. With classes held right at school, we teach the fundamentals using real equipment (all provided) and allow students to learn through interactive games, drills, and real matches. Students will also explore relevant academic concepts through gameplay while practicing life skills such as sportsmanship, integrity, and perseverance. TGA creates a safe environment and provides individualized attention, meeting each student where they are in their journey and progression.

Our elementary Summer Running program is designed to introduce young athletes to running. We focus on aerobic endurance and fitness, core strength and flexibility, the importance of sleep and nutrition. Most of all we have fun!

Newborn to Age 8 Let us handle the groundwork! We'll create an engaging environment for playful learning. Enjoy quality time with your child as they explore and satisfy their curiosity, all while connecting with other families.

If you love to travel and love to write, this is for you! We will discuss how to use all of your senses in a new destination to create more detailed and in-depth descriptions that capture and maintain the readers' interest, and when to include photos with your work. You will also learn how to submit your finished product to print, the business side of travel writing, and how to avoid worn out travel writing cliches. Informative handouts for future use are included in class fee. The webinar login information will be emailed the day before class. LeeAnne Krusemark is a former journalist, current author and editor, and a nationwide Professor of Publishing at higher learning institutions, including Harvard Adult Education.

Students will work in small teams of 2-3, using the EV3 Mindstorms Robotic Systems and specialized LEGO® Technic™ engineering components to build extreme robots, and run programs to experiment with and overcome Olympic-style challenges. Students will then be challenged to morph their projects into better, stronger or faster robots. Possible robotic projects include Shot Put Launcher, Flipping Gymnast, Sumobot, and more.
