This summer we will draw humorous illustrations of animals being groomed. We imagine the expressions, emotions, and body poses our characters would experience while they are being cleaned. Also, PETS IN TANKS - we will imagine what life must be like for a pet animal who lives in a tank. We focuse our attention onto fish, snakes, a turtle, and a crab. Each illustration features a different pet and conveyed a different scenario. Your child will learn drawing skills and techniques during Young Rembrandts’ classes. Each class your child draws new images, learns new vocabulary and has fun discovering art and the Power of Drawing!

Children will be using recipes from well-known restaurants such as Panda Express, Olive Garden and even duplicating some Starbucks (non-coffee) treats. The children will love recreating and tasting their favorite menu items that can be made at home as well. Each week, there will be new recipes so children can sign up for both weeks of classes. Students learn hygiene and safety tips as they chop, peel, and dice correctly. (Techniques will vary according to age groups.) Please indicate allergies in the special notes section of registration. Recipes may contain gluten or nut products.

Creating and maintaining positive friendships can be difficult for girls of all ages. This class helps girls identify the difficulties of friendships, and encourages healthy ways they can navigate ways of handling these situations. Students will gain skills and knowledge of how to be a good friend as well as how to handle any drama or conflict they may experience. This class will provide a positive and uplifting environment for girls to come and relate to peers who may be dealing with or want to prepare for the challenges faced in friendships.

Children will be moving and grooving as they learn choreographed Hip Hop dance routines. Small dance segments are learned separately and then put together for the main event. Parents are welcome to come see a short performance at the end of the last day of class. Active kids are healthy kids – keep them moving!

This summer lessons will feature indoor and outdoor scenes with drawing horses. The basic structure of the horse remains consistent throughout all of this lesson's drawings. Likewise, the background and scenery will be different. We will use guidelines to correctly size and place the initial body shapes. A mixed media will motivate our students each day during this summer camp. Each class your child draws new images, learns new vocabulary and has fun discovering art and the Power of Drawing!

A monstrous adventure awaits you this summer. We will read books and make puppets to act out our silly stories. Students will learn songs, colors, body parts, numbers, feelings, emotions and daily routines. Students will be engaged with music, games and hands-on activities.

The teacher narrates the scenes as they occur in the movie, involves naming objects, describing actions, and talking about the characters and their emotions. This class will be very engaging as the teacher ask questions and students participate guessing what is happening next. We will watch a different animation short movie every day.

Build and program robots using the LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3 or NXT system! Learn about mechanical and software design, loops, conditional statements, problem solving, and teamwork skills. Work in small groups, program and build your robot, and rise to the challenge. Control the robot to avoid obstacles, pick up and carry objects, and play sounds. Projects are structured so that students work in an open-ended, investigative environment while having fun.

Are you ready for an adventure into the amazing world of Science? Get ready for a fun filled week of inquiry and exploration as we make create, invent and explore the many different areas of science. Each day we will explore a new area that is fun filled, hands on and engaging with activities and virtual field trips. We will also be “meeting” famous biologists, chemists, animal experts and space engineers. So get your creative thinking caps on and join us.
