Includes: Bring-your-own-lunch time, 12-1pm
Mon June 10 - Fri June 14  |  9am - 1pm
Includes: Bring-your-own-lunch time,

This summer, how about a week in the Mesozoic era?
During Dino Week, aka STEAMosaurus, we’ll do dino digs,
fossil making, and create dinosaur eggs as an art project.
On a more audible note, we’ll sing dinosongs and enjoy
read-alouds like Dinosaurs Before Dark from the Magic Tree
House series. On an archaeological note, we’ll learn how to
walk like a T-Rex. Ages: entering Pre-K to 2nd grade. $295.

Sea Creatures


Mon June 10 - Fri June 14  |  1pm - 4pm

Fun fact — we’ll walk like crabs, stretch like sea urchins,
and wobble like jelly fish. We’ll also do STEAM activities
and saltwater experiments. In between the science, we’ll play
games, sing songs and, yes, read about blobfish, anglerfish,
and sea pigs. On a somewhat less academic yet empirically
happy note, we’ll make Mermaid Tiaras and Merman Crowns.
Ages: entering Pre-K to 2nd grade. $270.

The forecast for Monday, the 17th — STEAM!
Welcome to an entire week of mind-expanding experiments.
We’ll grow crystals. We’ll dissect plants, and vegetables,
and fruits. Though, with the dozen-or-so lemons in our classroom,
one-by-one, we’re going to make them explode! The result
of such science is, invariably, laughter. Which leads to songs,
and games, and smiles. Ages: entering Pre-K to 2nd grade. $295.

Camp Olympics


Mon June 17 - Fri June 21  |  1pm - 4pm

A 5-day camp celebrating and learning about the Olympics?
Yep, it’s the Mrs. Kell Pentathlon. A week of both hands-on
and feet-on STEAM activities — with egg relays and water relays.
And while we’re on our feet, we’ll have our own Olympic parade.
Additional activities include read-alouds, singing, and our own
brand of Olympic games. Ages: entering Pre-K to 2nd grade. $270.

Houses. This camp fills up quickly, so there is one thing more you’ll
want to make — haste. Ages: entering Pre-K to 2nd grade. $295.

Camp H2O


Mon June 24 - Fri June 28  |  1pm - 4pm

The dress code for Camp H2O? Wear a bathing suit under your
clothing, and bring a beach towel. Because, of course, there will be
water balloons and water races and sponge tosses. Given all the water,
naturally, we’ll do all manner of STEAM experiments and activities.
As for the dry portions of Camp H2O, we’ll enjoy read-alouds
and singing, along with crafts and games. As for art projects, perfectly,
we’ll paint water colors. Ages: entering Pre-K to 2nd grade. $270.
