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 ACE Aerospace Camp Experience at the Museum of Flight Aerospace Camp Experience (ACE) is an American Camp Association accredited and award-winning day camp for any child who is excited about scientific pursuits. Check here for the list of 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. Open to students from the ages of 3 to 13.

UW Robinson Center for Young Scholars This is a great option for older students.

We offer a rich variety of math, science, literature, philosophy, and writing classes. Class size is small, with a faculty who are experienced teachers and specialists in their fields. Summer Challenge, for current 5th-6th graders, emphasizes hands-on learning, field trips and activities 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.
