OUR SUMMER
BREAK PROGRAMS
Summer is an amazing time of year as a child. They are able to embark on summer adventures and enjoy the magnificence of being a child. Our focus is to provide a variety of fun challenges for your child, providing them with new activities and opportunities to learn new skills -- all while they are having a wonderful time. Because our campers are from all over the world, and no two children are alike in personality and talent, we structure the activities geared to the child's age. This way, we can develop and encourage your child's individuality and natural curiosity to explore and learn. The Staff includes our own year-round Faculty and energetic young college students (some majoring in education).
