Having done some unique and creative art activities with my grandchildren, in our summer “Grandma” camps, I decided to offer an art course…because the types of art they’ve done are LOTS of fun…and some are…well…a bit absurd! Students will be seeing art from an historical perspective, as well as an international one in this class.

We’ll have lots of choices, including 14th century quilling and Turkish Ebru (“marbling”). We’ll also use many different/unusual tools, like tuning forks (painting with sound waves), syringes, eye droppers, straws, marbles … and also experience a variety of textures. If you have a kid who “marches to the beat of a different drummer” AND loves art, THIS is a class to choose!

Having done some unique and creative art activities with my grandchildren, in our summer “Grandma” camps, I decided to offer an art course … because the types of art they’ve done are LOTS of fun…and some are…well…a bit absurd! Students will be seeing art from an historical perspective, as well as an international one in this class. The format will be done via rotation stations, as they go from art form to art form, experiencing a variety of techniques. All work will be creative in nature (rather than “project” art), and I assure you that some AMAZING results will be had! We’ll have lots of choices, including 14th century quilling and Turkish Ebru (“marbling”). We’ll also use many different/unusual tools, like tuning forks (painting with sound waves), syringes, eye droppers, straws, marbles…and also experience a variety of textures. If you have a kid who “marches to the beat of a different drummer” AND loves art, THIS is a class to choose!  

**When enrolling online in this full-day class, enter BOTH Class 330A (the morning session) and Class 382B (the afternoon session), and also one of our lunch options. If you need assistance, call 210-736-5876.

Join us as we explore a series of cross-curricular theme-based activities that develop S.T.E.A.M skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) as well as language and communication concepts. This workshop features robots powered by both batteries and human energy that are built with specific LEGO bricks and elements, focusing on various moving parts. Throughout the week, participants will construct builds like boxcar racers, windmills, fishing rods & fish, construction cranes, scales, dogs, insects, clocks, dual shifting racers, and more. Those wishing to advance beyond basic builds are encouraged to enroll in additional sessions.

Everyone on the planet loves Chinese food - it’s delicious and fun to make. Your instructor is a native of China who enjoys preparing authentic Chinese dishes; she will ensure you gain plenty of hands-on experience making dumplings, Spring rolls (a Chinese New Year must-have), healthy fried rice with eggs and vegetables, and green onion pancakes. On the last day, we will draw these 4 dishes on a white T-shirt and label them with Chinese characters as a memento of the time we spent together - take home detailed recipes, too!

Welcome to The Literacy Lab - Summer Edition for 1st grade! This interactive summer camp helps young learners master the fundamentals of reading and writing through the Orton-Gillingham approach. Campers will explicitly review and write the 70 phonograms, recognize and manipulate sounds, practice reading skills, and build confidence in their literacy journey. Using creativity to reinforce learning, campers will enjoy making fun crafts that connect to the phonograms and book of study. Guided by certified instructors (M.Ed., CALT, Spalding), we will read exciting stories highlighting phonetic patterns and enjoy rhymes and chants to solidify our understanding of sounds and symbols. Through fun games, they will connect sounds to letters and words, making learning enjoyable and playful! This class is designed for students entering 1st or 2nd grades in the fall.
