 The
summer will kick-off with a S.T.E.A.M camp led by Heather Rogers
from June 25-29. The camp will run daily from 10:00AM-Noon and is
open to children from 1st through 5th grades. A variety of creative
projects will help develop group decision-making, individual
reasoning, and imagination by focusing on a variety of skills in
science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Visual Art Camp led by Mary Sunday and Jayne Kindred will be held
from July 9-13. Grades K-2 will meet daily from 1:30-3:00PM, and
grades 3-5 will meet daily from 9:00-11:30AM. Participants will
learn a variety of artistic techniques and styles, as well as

will create their own original portfolios of work to be displayed at
a concluding gallery show on Friday evening.
Finally,
Jean Kerr and her team from Illinois Wesleyan University will return
to lead Theatre Camp from July 16-20. Campers will develop their own
scripts from existing material, learn improvisation and performance
skills, make their own sets and costumes, and perform for the public
on Friday evening. Grades 1-2 will meet daily from 9:00-10:00 a.m.
and grades 3-6 daily from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m..
