STEAM Morning Session- 7:45 am-12:30 pm

____Grade 2nd  and 3rd 

 2nd Grade 7:45-9:45 and 3rd Grade 9:45-11:45

Once upon a STEAM
Have you ever wondered what your favorite story has to do with STEM? Come and find out with “Once Upon a STEAM.” We will use some of our favorite stories to create projects that could put a SERIOUS twist on a few familiar stories (and maybe one or two that are new)!  Suppose the Three Little Pigs had built houses out of drinking straws instead of bricks? Do you think that you could help Rapunzel build a better escape from that awful tower by using something other than her hair? Ouch, that must’ve hurt! There must have been a nicer way to capture that mean old witch in Handsel and Gretel besides trapping her in an oven, don’t you think?
 Come join in the fun! We will use our imagination and ingenuity to rewrite and “engineer” different solutions for some of our favorite old and new books.

3rd Grade 7:45-9:45 and 2nd Grade 9:45-11:45

Fun in the Sun
Are you ready to explore? Do you know that there are eight planets in our solar system? Well we will find out who they are, what characteristics do they have, and how they are different from each other. We will explore and create our own solar system with a replica of our own.  We will end the course with a solar system party!!! Ready, Set, Go!

4th Grade 7:45-9:45 and 5th  Grade 9:45-11:45

Real LIVE Math
Believe it or not, strong fundamentals in mathematics are essential in about every career choice and are used daily. Students always wonder how they will ever use the math skills they learn in the classroom for “real life”. This interactive STEM course, Real Live Math, will explore various career opportunities and experiences that campers may encounter in the real world that constantly use the mathematical skills they have learned throughout the year. We will begin with students demonstrating an understanding of basic algebraic and statistical operations such as solving simple expressions and equations, predicting the probability of future events, calculating area/perimeter of geometric shapes, and interpreting graphic information. We will connect these skills to careers fields such as architecture and engineering. 

5th Grade 7:45-9:45 and 4th  Grade 9:45-11:45

Walk Like an Egyptian
Did you know that Egyptian men and women wore makeup? It was thought to have healing powers, plus it helped protect their skin from the sun! This, and many more interesting facts await you as you come “Walk Like an Egyptian”! The Ancient Egyptians were one of the greatest most powerful civilizations in the world, and they had a very interesting culture. Come learn about hieroglyphics, mummies, the pyramids, and mythology through art as we explore this amazing civilization!
