​On the one hand we welcome the change of pace – perhaps a less hectic schedule, an increase in family time, maybe a camping trip or two planned…  But let’s be honest, summer can also mean a scramble to keep our kids occupied, engaged and learning!  We wanted to share a few ideas for events, camps and outings that may help you fill the coming weeks ahead.

SUMMER CAMPS

STEAM Powered Summer Camp at Soundview School
Summer programs are designed to be hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences that engage students in exploration, discovery, and innovation. The summer program extends learning beyond the school year. It keeps children engaged in creative, cooperative, and innovative thinking as they make art, explore nature, and take on science. Programs are set up as week-long units of inquiry into diverse concepts with regular field trips to connect learning with real, relevant experience.

Summer Stretch, for current 7th-10th graders, is more academic in nature, providing an accelerated, rigorous learning experience. Both programs are characterized by high-level thinking, intellectual adventure, and pursuit of understanding.
