pilot programs

For those children looking for a taste of something new and exciting, we welcome them to join our multiple day pilot programs where in the course of a week, they can immerse themselves in an exciting new activity and gain a level of proficiency while doing it. Our kids are really reaching new heights!

• Trapeze camp – A huge hit in 2011, children literally soar as they safely learn to fly and flip.
• Camp Band – Last summer our children rocked the house after spending a full week learning their instruments and literally becoming a band, performing a set for all of our children and staff!
• Lego camp – What can your child build? Come spend a week being challenged into creating exciting and creative projects doing nothing but Lego every morning for a full week.
• Photo & Video Editing Camp Your child will spend 3 hours each day learning about photo & video editing. The first half of the afternoon they will learn how to use a digital camera, take quality pictures, edit photos in Adobe Photoshop or Serif PhotoPlus and create a poster that represents themselves in pictures. They will spend the second half of the afternoon learning how to use a digital video camera, filming for the best results, editing video and adding transitions, titles and overlays to create their own movie that can be published on YouTube (with parental permission) or saved onto a Flash drive.
• Mobile App & Web Development Camp Your child will spend 3 hours each day learning how to develop applications and websites. The first half of the afternoon they will learn the basics of HTML, website design and layout, blogging and other advanced features while creating their own interest or expertise based website using Google sites or Blogger (with parental permission). The second half of the afternoon they will learn the basics of mobile application development while creating applications for the Android OS platform. The applications they will create may include Magic 8 ball, a Coloring game and Pong.
• Magic camp – You will become a fully practicing magician and learn to perform both stunning stage feats and dazzling close-up innovations! This summer you'll discover the magic secrets tightly guarded for centuries, passed down only from magician to magician. Each trick is specially tailored to suit a young magician's unique talents; because we know your amazing abilities are as vast as your imagination. All the tricks you've learned are yours to keep at the end of the camp! So show off your summer talents! When they ask with amazement "How did you do that?" you can smile and say "Simple, it's magic"
• Aviation camp - Our campers build high-flying balsa wood motorized airplanes that can climb to altitudes as far as four stories. Just make sure to watch out for birds! Sleek, fast, and efficient, these crafts shoot toward the sun in rocket-like ascent. Next, you'll discover our Long Distance Fliers that are made for wind endurance, traveling lengths as great as a football field and maintaining flight durations of up to three minutes. You can't miss out on that incredible fun! Don't miss making your very own stunt machines. Whether handling sharp maneuvers or sweeping through loops and curves, these models are sure to amaze. Each model is built from scratch and is yours to keep at the end of the camp! So spend your summer streaking through the great blue sky with your very own Flying Machines!
