Have you ever wanted to play the nationally-known game Dungeons and Dragons? Stretch your imagination telling stories with your friends, and build useful creative skills? What about play the game they do in Stranger Things? Well this is your chance! In this class, we’ll be exploring collaborative storytelling through Dungeons and Dragons. Along the way, we’ll develop social and emotional skills that will serve us well outside of the RPG.

Join us for our half day cooking camps- the best of both worlds.   Spend half the day in the kitchen, and half the day sampling all that camp has to offer- swimming, sports and games, arts and crafts, and more! 

Week 5: Calling all Chocolatiers! Join us as we transform our kitchen into a chocolate factory and whip up classic and unique chocolate treats, both savory and sweet. From white chocolate to dark chocolate, sprinkles to candies, we’ll use all of our favorite flavors to create beautiful creations. Grab a friend and bring your culinary creativity!

Channel your inner Master Builder and create your very own LEGO amusement park thrill rides where Everything is Awesome! Before each LEGO brick creation, staff will discuss key engineering and physics concepts with the children and how they relate to our LEGO rides. Students will build LEGO brick cars using axles, gears, pulleys, battery packs, and motors. In addition, children will code their LEGO builds using a drag-and-drop-based interface using Bluetooth technology. In the afternoon, students will create their own mini movie set, learn the parts of a story and create an animated movie using LEGO mini figures and other objects. The students will also learn how to edit their films, attach music, and add titles/credits using Professional Stop Motion Animation software.

Two great programs this week with our partner, Black Rocket.  We’ll do one program in the morning, and one in the afternoon- a full day of learning and fun!
