Summer Session Dates & Weekly Themes

Week 1:  Prehistoric
July 10th through July 14th

Let’s kick off summer camp with a ROAR! This week we will take campers on a prehistoric adventure with carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. Join us as we trek through the awesome flora and fauna of the prehistoric era and possibly encounter a real-life dinosaur!
Week 2: Ancient egypt
July 17th through July 21st

This week campers will continue their journey through time to go back to Ancient Egypt! We’ll excavate the past lives of pharaohs as we explore their tombs and unearth their history. Campers will discover the stories told through hieroglyphs, discuss the sacred power of cats, and some of our older campers will learn the process of mummification (and even create a few mummies ourselves)!
Week 3: the groovy 60's
July 24th through July 28th

Campers will really dig this week! Channeling our inner flower power, we will immerse ourselves in the vibrant and exciting decade that was the 1960s. An eventful era filled with vivid colors, groovy tunes, the space race that culminated in one giant leap for mankind, and powerful civil rights movements, the 60s is full of opportunities for creativity and learning. By the end of the week, campers will be rocking tie dye in style!
​​WEEK 4: the future
July 31st through August 4th

​Today’s child is tomorrow’s future. What future do our children want to create? Campers will explore the infinite possibilities together this week as we discuss technology, sustainability, social justice, and how we can work together towards shared goals and aspirations. Campers will create a time capsule that we can open later to see how we did achieving our dreams!
week 5: The RENAISSANCE
August 7th through August 11th

Magnificent paintings and sculptures, captivating literature, and stunning architecture; The Renaissance was a historically powerful period full of incredible art. Starting in Italy and spanning the rest of Europe and beyond, campers will take a tour filled with artistic innovation, royal nobility, and great inspiration culminating in an art show of our own!
​​WEEK 6: Ancient China
August 14th through August 18th

​From trekking across the Great Wall, exploring the 9,000 rooms in the Forbidden City, to marveling at great inventions such as fireworks, kites, tea, and silk, Ancient China has so much to offer! Campers will encounter magnificent dragons, create glowing lanterns, and learn all about the fascinating and elaborate history of China.
​​WEEK 7: Brazilian Carnival
August 21st through August 25th

Let’s end this summer with a party! This week campers will travel to Brazil to participate in the largest carnival celebration in the world! We’ll put on our most colorful costumes and vibrant masks as we dance to samba and eat delicious food. Along the way campers will learn about the many rich cultures that inspired what we now know as the worldwide carnival festival.

Please note that sunscreen must be provided by the parent and the authorization form must be complete in order for us to be able to apply sunscreen for your child. Having aerosol sunscreen bottles is very helpful for ease of application for our staff.

Backpacks

Your camper will use their backpack to bring the following items daily:
  • Labeled Water Bottle
  • Labeled Lunch Box (with an ice pack)
  • Two sets of extra summer clothes labeled with their name and packed in a reusable bag
Please provide your own backpack if you currently do not have an MCH backpack to bring items to and from camp daily.

Snack

Please pack snacks for your campers as well as lunch. Snack is student-driven, and they will be able to access snacks whenever they are feeling hungry. A good rule of thumb to follow is:
  • 1 snack for half day campers
  • 2 snacks for full day campers
  • 3 snacks for extended day campers
