With our Sophomore campers, there is a strong focus on collaboration and working towards shared goals, while also allowing them the much-needed opportunity to exercise their independence, leadership, and original thinking. The program specifically encourages using our resources with other campers to discover the ways they can use their intelligence and creativity to contribute to society by analyzing issues and thinking of ways to improve them. Campers are also given the privilege of using more advanced tools to take on projects with a higher level of complexity and knowledge.

Grade 1 & 2 – Sprockets
At this age, it is important to have the opportunity to experience the complete process of experimenting, even when the ideas or the execution don’t turn out as expected. Our Sprockets are taught to develop resilience and ask questions to improve their situation through innovation, as we know that they are natural explorers who have many questions about the world around them. We have created a program focused on finding increasingly complex and creative solutions to solve problems, learning how to use basic hand tools with purpose, and helping campers respond to time management issues using structure and discipline.
