Beat the summer slide: A play-based STEAM camp for little learners at Evolution Enrichment Center

Summer vacation does not have to be a summer slide. During nine weeks from July 3 through Sept. 1, students will be invited to explore, question, and develop thinking strategies to encourage them to problem solve using their prior knowledge! They will predict, reason, and visualize with the help of auditory cues and read-aloud sessions.

We welcome you to a summer camp that will be enriching, refreshing, and stimulating for students who want to learn with all their senses and a whole-body experience. We want to expand the imagination of our young learners, and take them on a life-changing journey over the course of nine weeks! We will be identifying relationships in everyday tools, classifying objects, and learning to think outside of the box.

Weekly themes

Biology (July 3–14). Activities and scientific experimentation! Children will take a virtual trip to the Amazon, Sahara, and Antarctica to learn about their unique ecosystems.

Speech, drama, and art (July 17–21). Through exploration of the performing arts, children learn how to communicate their own unique ideas.

Technology and how things work (July 24–Aug. 4). Examination of transportation, electrical, and computer technologies helps children discover what makes everyday items work.

Earth science (Aug. 7–18). The Earth reveals its wonder and variety. Activities and games on the Learning Station allow the children to take imaginary world journeys to examine and understand the composition of the earth from its surface to its core.

Natural science (Aug. 21–Sept. 1). Children participate in a variety of scientific experiments including magnetism, flotation, molecular change, and buoyancy. The children gain an understanding of the scientific method through these experiments and games.

Williamsburg Northside School

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">At Northside, our graduates will be comfortable being uncomfortable, for they’ll recognize that resistance and friction are signals of growth, and they’ll consistently seek out opportunities to expand the definition of who they are. They will be future-ready, able to thrive in challenging situations because they have the confidence and the wherewithal to embrace an ever-accelerating pace of change and adapt accordingly. They will be well on their way to becoming life-long learners that know what happens inside the classroom is a catalyst for the never-ending exploration of what lies beyond the school-house walls. And, most importantly, they’ll be good, decent, and caring human beings that aren’t afraid to show some emotion, that are quick to offer a helping hand, and that recognize that encountering differing opinions and perspectives only makes them stronger.</div> <div> </div>
