Take a deep dive into two of the most well-known cities of the United States. The “Big Apple”, New York City, is known worldwide as the most populous US city, found in the eastern US, in the state of New York. We will imagine peering down from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, climbing up 377 steps to the Statue of Liberty’s crown, and touring Ellis Island, where the first brave immigrants entered the United States between 1892 and 1924, looking for opportunity. NY will inspire! “Frisco” is a cultural gem of the western US, in CA, known for its cool foggy climate, steep rolling hills, and famous landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown district and former island prison- Alcatraz. Which city would you like to visit first?! Let’s find out!

No one can get enough of the comic book heroes–what makes them so appealing? What powers do they possess, and which ones are your favorites? What kind of heroes do you know in your own life? Are you on your way to becoming a superhero?

Often called national treasures, our national parks are the physical essence of what makes the US “America the Beautiful.” Learn more about your country while planning an itinerary for a family trip to one of these treasures!

Let’s visit the story of how DreamWorks and Pixar rise to become two of the biggest animation studios. While exploring the movie hits of both companies we will also channel our creativity and imagination to develop unique animated characters that will tell their own stories.

No junior spy is fully ready until they go through the stealth training shared within this camp. Master the art of code creating & busting, and stealthily maneuver obstacle courses & laser traps to get through an IRL Among Us challenge, and so you’ll never be “sus”!

Safari Kid campers will not want to miss watching their innovative visions and creative stories come to life during this week of virtual reality! They will learn how to create, design, and build engaging virtual environments through the use of a VR creation tool. Campers will develop their spatial skills, tap into their imaginations, and create immersive digital experiences. Have no doubt that your camper will be ready for the reality of the future after this week!

We know that all businesses require a web page in which to prove their existence. Your camper will be given an edge by learning how web pages are created and designed through the use of HTML and CSS code. Safari Kid campers will be given the amazing opportunity of learning how to consider the framework of a website they want to build and get familiar with reading, writing, and debugging HTML code.

We know kids have a natural fascination with both building things and taking things apart. This curiosity is how our little explorers figure out how things work in the world. Safari Kid Engineering Camp guides this natural curiosity into more formal explorations using hands-on learning strategies and project-based learning. Safari Kid campers will discover the process of construction through our innovative engineering curriculum in which they will investigate a problem, imagine a solution, and then work to design, create, and improve it. As a result, our campers’ self-confidence will blossom as they begin to see themselves as creative problem solvers, while also developing inner strength in character through their perseverance and determination.
