Beat the summer slide: A play-based STEAM camp for little learners at Evolution Enrichment Center

Summer vacation does not have to be a summer slide. During nine weeks from July 3 through Sept. 1, students will be invited to explore, question, and develop thinking strategies to encourage them to problem solve using their prior knowledge! They will predict, reason, and visualize with the help of auditory cues and read-aloud sessions.

We welcome you to a summer camp that will be enriching, refreshing, and stimulating for students who want to learn with all their senses and a whole-body experience. We want to expand the imagination of our young learners, and take them on a life-changing journey over the course of nine weeks! We will be identifying relationships in everyday tools, classifying objects, and learning to think outside of the box.

Weekly themes

Biology (July 3–14). Activities and scientific experimentation! Children will take a virtual trip to the Amazon, Sahara, and Antarctica to learn about their unique ecosystems.

Speech, drama, and art (July 17–21). Through exploration of the performing arts, children learn how to communicate their own unique ideas.

Technology and how things work (July 24–Aug. 4). Examination of transportation, electrical, and computer technologies helps children discover what makes everyday items work.
